UPDATE: 24/8/21: Following the recent discovery of a console listing for Crusader Kings 3 on the Taiwan ratings board website, developer Paradox Interactive has made it official: the superb medieval grand strategy game is coming to PS5, Xbox Series X/S, and Game Pass.
The console version is being developed in conjunction with Lab42 and promises to “utilise key capabilities” of the Xbox Series X/S and PS5, “like super-fast load times for a seamless gameplay experience”.
“Xbox Series X/S players will be able to quickly switch between gameplay and consulting a YouTube tutorial on how to quell a peasant revolt,” Paradox says in its announcement. “PlayStation 5 users will experience the game’s stress mechanics themselves, as their DualSense controllers physically react to in-game events as they unfold.”
There’s no word on a release date for Crusader Kings 3 on consoles (and indeed no sign of an Xbox One version, as suggested in the leaked listing), but Paradox says it’ll be coming to PS5, Xbox Series X/S, and Game Pass “soon”.
ORIGINAL STORY: 23/8/21: Paradox Interactive could soon be bringing its superb medieval grand strategy game Crusader Kings 3 to consoles according to a newly uncovered listing by the Taiwanese ratings board.
As spotted by Gematsu, three relevant listings (seemingly now removed) have found their way onto the Taiwan Digital Game Rating Committee’s website; one for Crusader Kings 3 on PlayStation 5, one for the game on Xbox Series X/S, and another for Xbox One.
