Will Last Epoch Come To PS5 & Xbox Consoles?

Amidst the surge of positive reviews for Last Epoch, players are eager to experience this new MMO title. This enthusiasm extends across various platforms, with console players seeking information on the release date for the next-gen consoles. 

Whether you're in this category of consumers or simply curious about the game's arrival on console platforms, we've got you covered. Below, we'll discuss the current estimate for the release of Last Epoch on PS5 and Xbox consoles.

Last Epoch On Consoles: PS5 & Xbox Release Date?

At the time of writing, there has been no news surrounding the release of Last Epoch on PlayStation 5 and Xbox next-gen consoles. Many thought that the game would go cross-platform upon its 1.0 update release, but sadly, this has proven to be false, and the release for consoles is still far ahead of us, it seems.

Now, while this may be disappointing as the game will be exclusively on Steam for now, it doesn't mean that it will never be released on consoles in the future. Eleventh Hour Games CEO Judd Cobler was asked about a console version last year on Reddit, to which he said it was “very likely” and would happen “eventually.”

This makes sense since many other games see their initial release on PC only and usually drop on consoles as early as a month later, or even a year or more later, and ultimately, what dictates the time it takes is usually dependent on one thing: performance.

While there is, of course, some demand for this game on console, the developers will likely wait to see how it performs on PC first in terms of its overall reception and, of course, the game's mechanical performance overall. They will likely take time to iron out any kinks in the game's code and network while it's in the hands of PC players, and once it's been refined and the demand is still there, port it over to next-gen consoles.

Generally, though, with no ETA for the console release even hinted, we would rather take the assumption of a quick console release with a massive grain of salt and estimate a late 2024 or even early 2025 console release. Of course, this is all speculation, and we will endeavor to keep this article updated with the latest news, rumors, or leaks on a console release for Last Epoch.
