Players want Sons of the Forest to come to PS5. It is one in the long line of many other games where exclusivity can be a real pain. Players can see all of the different building and combat gameplay that is improved. Many are anxiously waiting to play the game, with the first title, The Forest, on PlayStation consoles. It offers a unique survival-horror experience with co-op as a bonus. Moreover, Sons of the Forest further improves upon the experience, even giving an AI partner for solo players.
But as time goes on, the sequel has yet to be seen on the PlayStation Store, more specifically for PS5. Players are looking for answers, and we are here to give them. Just under the headline below are the details on if Sons of the Forest is coming to PS5.
Is Sons of the Forest Coming to PS5?
Sons of the Forest is going to be coming to PS5, however, there is no official release date. The reasoning as to why it’s coming is due to the first title coming to the PlayStation 4. Endnight Games, the developers, have created the series with a “PC first” mindset and development plan. The game is released on PC in an early access state. Then, players help the devs by identifying bugs and issues, which the team works on to improve the game.
Additionally, the process of porting Sons of the Forest from PC over to PS5 is no easy feat. The same can be said for pretty much any game that is moved to a different platform. It isn’t just a straight copy and paste. Coding must be done to ensure it is a seamless experience, meaning that different parts of the game need changes and tweaks. Furthermore, the game needs to be rated and submitted to PlayStation for approval before anything. The overall process for moving the game takes time, so the question of when it is coming to PS5 is uncertain at the moment.
Will Sons of the Forest Be Released on PS4?
Sons of the Forest is more than likely not going to release on PS4. The game is a visual and gameplay upgrade from the original. Because of this, the technology for the PS4 and PS4 Pro will not be able to handle running the game on either console. From the better graphics to the new gameplay implementations like the AI partner and improved building mechanics. Adding to this, if the game is already being developed for consoles, the need to sacrifice quality won’t happen. To allow compatibility on last-gen consoles can also take time and is something many developers are starting to steer away from.
Sons of the Forest coming to PS5 is something I and many other PlayStation players look forward to. The first game was a blast and something to get lost in with friends. From building a great base to figuring out the mysteries of the area. Endnight Games has a fun and addictive title with this new entry.
