Rockfish finally announces console release date Everspace 2, the studio’s visually stunning space shooter. Since launching into Steam Early Access in April (and canceling the PS4 and Xbox One versions), all eyes have been on the PS5 and Xbox Series X/S versions.
First off, Everspace 2 was released on Game Pass (Xbox and PC) on day one, making it a must-have download for anyone interested in space shooter RPGs. The game is coming to both console series and Game Pass on August 15th – running at 60 fps.
The console version costs $50/£50/$50 and is available to pre-order on PlayStation. If you’re a PlayStation Plus member, you’ll get 20% off these prices. You’ll also be happy to know that the game supports DualSense haptic feedback, adaptive triggers, and speakers.
Everspace 2 is a Play Anywhere game on the Microsoft Store, so a single copy will work on both PC and Xbox. If you’re a physical game collector, Rockfish is teaming up with Maximum Games to offer a retail version, which will be available on both consoles on October 3rd. The Stellar Edition comes in steel book form and includes a 64-page art book as well as digital code for the soundtrack.
We really like Everspace 2, I’d call it the coolest thing in modern freelance – it’s all back in 2021. Since then, the game has continued to grow; including new star systems, new ships (and ship classes), new companions, and the addition of a full 30-hour campaign.
On Steam alone, Everspace 2 managed to sell over 350,000 copies. That may not seem like much, but considering the game’s development was partially funded by fans via Kickstarter, and Rockfish is a small team, it does seem like a good number.
Game Pass is also good for exposure. More than 120,000 PC Game Pass members tried Everspace 2 sometime during the game’s preview phase, and the community only grew after the big release in August.
