However, after the release of the companies’ newer consoles in 2020, the title’s developer Crytek has now opted to leave the Xbox One and PlayStation 4 behind in favour of a “significant relaunch” of the game once the next DLC launches on 15 August. In a video posted to the game’s YouTube channel, Crytek developer David Fifield said of the forthcoming update: “After this is live and running natively on PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series [X|S] consoles, you will no longer be able to play at all on the older generations of consoles and will need to upgrade.” He teased: “We’re excited to have you on this journey with us, and eager to take this massive new step with you all.”
