Frostpunk for consoles to be launched in October

Sales of the digital Frostpunk version for Xbox One and PS4 consoles will be launched on October 11th 2019.

 11 bit studios S.A. have finished work to create the console version of Frostpunk, the game released for PCs on April 24th 2018, which has so far sold in excess of 1.5 million copies. “As Frostpunk for consoles has already been submitted to Sony and Microsoft for certification, we have been able to set the release date awaited by fans while maintaining an appropriate time buffer for possible patches,” says Grzegorz Miechowski, President of the Company Management Board.

The Frostpunk version downloadable digitally for Xbox One and PS4 will go on sale on October 11th 2019. The retail price of this game version will be USD/EUR 29.99. Frostpunk for Xbox One and PS4 will also be distributed as physical (boxed) items. The boxed edition will be prepared by Merge Games. In Europe sales of Frostpunk through the physical channel will be launched on October 18th 2019 and in the US – on October 22nd 2019 at a price of USD/EUR 34.99 or GBP 29.99.

11 bit studios S.A. are assuring that Frostpunk for consoles will not be a simple game port. “Our intention was for gamers playing this version of Frostpunk to feel as if the product had been created from scratch specifically for consoles. That’s why just about every element of the game was designed basically from scratch to make it work as intuitively as possible with controllers. In addition to changes in the user interface, the game features instant menu access to key actions, easy-to-use selection wheels, a precise view from above facilitating construction of buildings, enlarged icons and much more,” says Jakub Stokalski, Senior Lead Designer of the game. “We believe that Frostpunk will be the new benchmark for the Xbox One and PS4 strategy genre,” he adds.
