Unknown 9 Awakening has officially launched, but the question remains: will last-gen consoles enjoy access to this exciting title? Current trends suggest that game developers are gradually stepping away from supporting PS4, Xbox One, and Nintendo’s hybrid system, although some exceptions exist, requiring a closer look at each specific release.
With the anticipated occult action-adventure game from Reflector Entertainment now available, can diverse gaming audiences join in on the experience? While PlayStation and Xbox players have good news, Nintendo enthusiasts might not share the same fortune. Here’s what you need to know about Unknown 9 Awakening.
Is Unknown 9 Awakening playable on PS4, Xbox One, and Nintendo Switch?
The game will be accessible on PC, PS4, PS5, Xbox One, and Xbox Series X|S. Therefore, owners of the PS4 and Xbox One can look forward to diving into the action right from day one. Given that the game employs Unreal Engine 4, it is expected to perform adequately on these older systems, even with their dated hardware.
Conversely, there has been no announcement regarding a version for the Nintendo Switch. Players of Nintendo’s handheld device will miss out on the thrilling supernatural journey of Haroona in 19th-century Kolkata as she embarks on a mission for vengeance while enhancing her mystical Umbral abilities. Although successful adaptations like Hogwarts Legacy prove that the hybrid console has significant capabilities, a port remains uncertain.
There is no confirmation if a Switch version will manifest in the future, but if sales soar and player interest warrants it, a port could potentially be developed. Still, the upcoming next-gen Nintendo Switch 2 might be a more viable platform for this title, thanks to superior hardware that could facilitate a smoother porting process while delivering richer graphics and performance.
Unknown 9 Awakening is scheduled for release on PC, PS4, PS5, Xbox One, and Xbox Series X|S on October 18, 2024.
