Will AoC come to xbox and ps? Simple question is - are there any recent posts about that information, because they said once in the past that they will consider it!!!

    No news on that front. As far as we know, it's still a PC only release, and it might stay that way. Controller support is also only a maybe, as far as I know, but much more likely than Ashes on a console.

    Not trying to be rude here,

    but right now i can not imagine " any " kind of Console that can run such a huge Game. Are MMO's in general not always PC ? I admit i don't know for sure.

    If IS wanted to releaee on Console, UE5 would make that a doable project. If I was Steven I would reach out to MS and Sony to see if one of them wanted to fund being Ashes to their console as a timed exclusive. Both MS and Sony have done that in the past. Both platforms are always looking for live service games that already have a backing by the players. Unlike the new Suicide Squad game lol

    BDO and ESO are both able to be played on consoles, as are a number of other MMO's.

    I wouldnt expect to see Ashes on a console for at least a year after launch. I definitely dont expect either console to pay for an exclusivity deal - this games current community is not even close to large enough for them to consider it.

    Small community, new developer, new IP. Nothing to attract Microsoft or Sony there at all.

    I am looking forward to it. Honestly never heard of an MMO being playable on a Console before. So UE5 continues to amaze and surprise ... ...

    Final Fantasy XI was playable on the PlayStation 2 back in 2002. Basically all MMOs from the past several years are on consoles.
