TL;DR at the bottom!
As some of you may know after we finished Hydroneer in April 2024 we've been hard at work on our next game, Die Trying. Since we're a tiny team, even whilst working on Hydroneer we didn't have enough man-power to simultaneously work on the console port ourselves, and with how busy we are on the next game, we definitely don't have time right now! This has led us to partnering up with PlayEveryWare, console development pros that have worked with the teams behind "Among Us", "Fall Guys", "Valorant for Consoles", "Dispatch", and many other successful quality games on consoles. We chose them because they're the best of the best.
Whilst the console version (Xbox Series X|S + PlayStation 5) is going to be an almost exact copy of what PC players enjoy, their expert engineers have revealed some opportunities for more optimisation on Hydroneer. We've decided it would be a really nice to bring some of these optimisations to the original PC version!
Both Hydroneer and the Journey to Volcalidus (DLC) are set to launch on Xbox Series X|S and PS5 on May 8th, 2026, as well as the optimisation patch for PC! (Which is actually Hydroneer's SIXTH birthday!)
We also believe in keeping things fair, so the price on consoles will stay the same as it is on Steam:
Hydroneer: $15
Journey to Volcalidus (DLC): $10
TL;DR
- Hydroneer coming to Xbox Series X|S & PS5 on May 8th 2026.
- PC players will benefit from a new optimisation patch.
- Priced the same as on Steam.
Xbox Store Playstation Store *We are aware of an issue on the Xbox store which lists the game as Xbox One and Xbox Series X|S. The game will only be available on Series X and S.
