Warhammer 40,000: Darktide has been announced for PS5. The game is launching two years after its Xbox Series X/S and PC release and will be available starting on 3 December.
According to Fat Shark, Warhammer 40,000: Darktide on PS5 comes with all the existing content and updates from PC and Xbox. In addition, the game will launch with various graphics modes that users can choose from as well as DualSense haptic support.
The game has also been enhanced for PS5 Pro. At default, it runs at 60FPS 4K on the newer console. On base PS5, Performance Mode runs at 60FPS 1440p and Quality Mode runs at 30FPS 4K.

The Standard Edition then launches on 3 December. The Imperial Edition also comes with some extra goodies. Here’s a breakdown of both editions:

Warhammer 40,000: Darktide launched back in 2022 to mixed reviews. The game’s lack of content, bugs and performance issues didn’t go down well with fans. To make matters worse, Fat Shark focused its efforts on implementing the game’s in-game premium currency store ahead of fixing the issues and adding worthwhile content to the game. Steam reviews are currently mixed for the game. Users still complain about the game’s performance and bugs.
Let’s hope the PS5 version is a little more polished.
