Horde survival co-op game Warhammer 40,000 Darktide is finally coming to PlayStation 5, more than two years after it first launched on PC and more than a year since the debut of the Xbox Series X and Xbox Series S.
The game is available for pre-order now and will be released on December 3. There are two separate editions to choose from: the regular version which costs $39.99 / £32.99 and the $59.99 / £49.99 Imperial Edition.
The Imperial Edition includes the base game and some additional content, such as the Loyalist Pack (which adds four unique class outfits and eight weapon skin patterns), the Mortis Veteran Portrait Frame, the Caducadas Backpack, and 2,500 Aquilas in-game currency. Those who pre-order this premium version can also play six days early.
The PS5 version of the game will launch with all the major content and improvements added to the other versions since the game’s launch. This means you can immediately experience the massive recent ‘Unlocked and Loaded’ update, which revamped the game’s weapon progression systems.
Time to go Pro?
The Warhammer 40,000 Darktide store page reveals that the game will support vibration and trigger effects on the DualSense Wireless Controller. It also shows that it will be improved for the PlayStation 5 Pro, but provides few additional details.
According to PlayStation fan PSU websiteruns the PS5 Pro version in glorious 4K at 60fps. There will then be two modes available to regular PS5 owners: a Performance mode, which runs at 1440p with a frame rate of 60fps, and a 4K 30fps Quality mode.
