The amount of games recently announced to be expanding to more console platforms is growing to the point that it may be hard for most to keep up with. So, to make it easier to track here’s a quick list of the titles that were recently announced to be coming to more platforms. They will be listed in order of when they are planned to be ported to more platforms.
Cyanide & Happiness - Freakpocalypse (Episode 1) by Explosm, Skeleton Crew Studios, and Serenity Forge
Despite releasing in March 2021 on PC to some mixed reviews (mainly due to the lack of informing the audience that it was not the full game and just the first part), this wacky and violent world is now also available on PlayStation 4 and Xbox One. Console players can now fill in the sad shoes of high-schooler Cooper “Coop” McCarthy as he does your typical high-school things: going to school, finding a prom date, sidestepping maniacal deadly bullies, and trying not to trigger the apocalypse.
