Insurgency: Sandstorm has been available for the PC since 2018, versions for PlayStation 4 and Xbox One followed in 2021 – and now owners of the latest platforms can finally enjoy a specially optimized version of the shooter.
Several years after its original release, the shooter Insurgency: Sandstorm is by no means a thing of the past. That’s why the makers have now stepped up and optimized the title for the current consoles PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X/S.
From today on you can get the tactical shooter natively for the current consoles from Sony and Microsoft and can then enjoy a whole range of improvements in the Gen 9 version compared to the previous console version. Because: The title now takes advantage of the more powerful hardware of PS5 and Xbox Series X/S, so that you can get started with higher resolution, optimized performance and new functions.
You can now play on PS5 and Xbox Series X in native 4K with 60 frames per second; The slightly less powerful Xbox Series S still has a full HD resolution of 1080p at 60 fps. In addition, an HD texture package is automatically activated in the optimized game version, which provides you with even more detailed textures and provides more visual enjoyment.
Thanks to the SSDs of the Gen 9 consoles, you now benefit from significantly shorter loading times – a function that is also shared by PS4 owners with SSD installation. Exclusive to the PS5, haptic feedback and adaptive activities ensure an even more intense gaming experience – thanks to the DualSense controller.
Also pleasing: a cross-gen mode is also available; This enables matches between Gen 8 and Gen 9 players, so you can also play with friends who are on an earlier console. If you have already purchased Insurgency: Sandstorm for PS4 or Xbox One, you can upgrade for free to the native next-gen version for the respective successor console; In this case, you will keep all previously purchased DLC packages there.
