Is Kingmakers on PS5?

Not yet, and not with the first release. The game director has said PS5 is a target, in the same breath as saying it is not part of the initial Early Access launch. There is no PlayStation Store page and no PS5 date.

Not yet

Named as a target, and ruled out for the first Early Access release. No PlayStation Store page, no PS5 date. What would change this: a PlayStation Store listing, or tinyBuild announcing a console version.

The sentence everything rests on

Paul Fisch Game director, replying on the Steam forum

“I know we were planning to target xbox and PS 5 but not for the initial EA release.”

Thread: Paul Fisch on consoles, Steam discussions

It says three things and no more.

PS5 was part of the planIt is named, next to Xbox, as a platform the studio was targeting.
Not with the first Early Access releaseThe same sentence rules it out for the initial launch.
A plan as he understood it“I know we were planning” is the director describing the plan on a forum, not a publisher announcement. It still carries no year.

The older answer

Official FAQ, at announcement

“Yes, it is in our plans to release on consoles eventually, but only after 1.0 is fully released on PC.”

Kingmakers FAQ. From Kingmakers Official FAQ (Steam discussions)

The director, later

Targeted, but not for the first Early Access release. His reply neither repeats the 1.0 condition nor withdraws it.

Early Access is not 1.0. If the FAQ’s condition still holds, a PS5 version would follow the full PC release rather than the Early Access one. Both answers, with Switch 2 alongside, are on Kingmakers on consoles.

What about PS4?

PS4 does not come up in the announcements, the FAQ or the director’s forum replies. The only PlayStation console named there is PS5. The studio’s own performance goal is 60 frames per second on mid-range PCs with tens of thousands of soldiers in a battle, which is worth keeping in mind before hoping for a last-generation version.

Crossplay with PC

Not announced, which is expected when a console version does not exist yet. The only time the game director has mentioned crossplay at all was about PC storefronts, as work that selling in more places would add. That reply, and everything said about multiplayer, is on Kingmakers co-op and multiplayer.

What would change this page

  • A Kingmakers listing appearing on the PlayStation Store.
  • tinyBuild announcing a console version, which would come from the publisher rather than a forum reply.
  • Early Access launching with a roadmap that places consoles in it.

Xbox is covered by the same forum reply but with a different caveat, on Kingmakers on Xbox.
