The announcement of Horizon: Steel Frontiers was surprising. The developers have confirmed that the game may appear on PS5 in the future.
This week, PlayStation showed a new installment in the Aloy universe. Horizon: Steel Frontiers turned out to be not a single project, but a full-fledged MMORPG for PC and mobile devices. The decision not to release a version for PS5 has sparked discussions.
Unsurprisingly, players are actively complaining about the lack of a PS5 version. The network is filled with comments and disappointments that have reached the developers.
Lee So, the executive producer of the project, shared details of the production and plans for other platforms. Development started in 2019. According to Lee So, the release is scheduled for the end of 2026 or the beginning of 2027, so there is still a lot of work ahead.
Horizon Steel Frontiers may appear on PS5. The developers are "positive" and note that the game is "technically compatible" with the Sony console. Further negotiations with PlayStation are needed, which are ongoing.
The project is currently in pre-alpha stage, supports groups of up to 16 players, but expansion is planned. Horizon Steel Frontiers will be a free-to-play game with an optional subscription for cosmetic items and early access to content. There will be no loot boxes, the studio is betting on "friendly monetization" that does not scare away players.
