Enshrouded confirms launch on PS5 by the end of 2026

The survival RPG scenario receives a relevant technical update this Thursday, January 22, 2026. Keen Games has confirmed that Enshrouded, a successful title on PC, will officially arrive on the PS5 in the last quarter of this year. The game, which has accumulated positive reviews on Steam since the beginning of its early access two years ago, will be released on Sony's consoles already in its version 1.0, compiling all the content expansions and infrastructure improvements developed so far.

The transition from an early access title to a stable final version is a positive point for the industry. The software offers a voxel-based building system that allows high fidelity in the creation of structures, in addition to supporting cooperative sessions for up to 16 simultaneous players. This technical networking capability, combined with a persistent open world and action combat mechanics, ensures that the installed base of PS5 receives a product with robust content and progression systems that have already been tested and refined by the original community.

"You are Flameborn, the last hope of a dying people. Awaken and survive the horror of the corrupting mist. Enter a vast world, defeat powerful bosses, build magnificent halls, and follow your path in this cooperative action and survival RPG for up to 16 players."

However, the excessive delay in converting popular PC titles to consoles is subject to severe criticism. It is regrettable that PS5 users have to wait almost three years since the initial announcement to access software that has already peaked in popularity. In addition, maintaining servers for 16 players on console hardware requires rigorous optimization that, if neglected, can result in frame rate instabilities and latency issues, points that often compromise the simulation experience in dense open worlds.

The technical pillars of the launch version include:

Building System: Intuitive and deep tools for base creation.

Cooperative Mode: Support for up to 16 participants in the same session.

Version 1.0: Inclusion of all biomes and bosses added during early access.

Flameborn Mechanic: Character progression focused on resisting the corrupting mist.

"The game has won over millions of players with 'Very Positive' reviews on Steam. All content updates will be included in the version coming to Sony's console."

Keen Games has not yet detailed whether there will be support for "cross-play" between platforms, essential technical information to maintain the long-term health of the player base. Success on the console will depend directly on the studio's ability to adapt the user interface, originally designed for keyboard and mouse, to the PS5 controls.
