PixelJunk Eden 2 is headed to PS4 and PS5. This is a big deal because up to now, there was very little hope that the PixelJunk series would ever return to other platforms. The franchise kicked off back in 2007 as PlayStation exclusive series. PixelJunk Racers, Eden, Monsters, Shooter and Shooter 2 were all on PlayStation. However, when PixelJunk Eden 2 was announced, it only launched on Switch back in 2020.
The series is now moving to new platforms with PixelJunk Eden 2. It marks the first PS5 game in the PixelJunk franchise and according to Q-Games, features some unique use of the DualSense and 4K visuals.

Q-Games CEO Dylan Cuthbert shared the news on the PlayStation Blog where he detailed what players can look forward to in PixelJunk Eden 2.
“In PixelJunk Eden 2 the DualSense light bar reacts to changes in the current level, creating your very own personal light show for each unique environment. And exploring the world of Eden has never felt better thanks to extensive use of the unique vibration features, punctuating every swing and jump with immersive haptic feedback. We’ve also utilised the gyro sensor to provide precision control and collecting pollen rewards you with dynamic vibrations to mark your achievements.”
There’s a cool trailer that was dropped with the announcement.
Hopefully, this means that more PixelJunk games will arrive on PlayStation soon. Q-Games announced earlier this year that PixelJunk Scrappers, which was an Apple Arcade Exclusive, would launch on PlayStation, Switch and PC on 27 July. As for PixelJunk Eden 2, there’s currently no release date.
“PixelJunk Eden’s return to PlayStation is a big moment for us and from everyone here at Q-Games, we hope you’ll join us back in the gardens of PixelJunk Eden 2! You can wishlist the game now on PlayStation Store and we’ll have more details to share soon ahead of our launch on PlayStation 5 and PlayStation 4 later this year.”
