The survival game Icarus, developed by Dean Hall, is set to launch on PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series in Q1 2026 after four years of availability on PC. The game's console versions will be managed by Grip Studios from the Czech Republic, with an emphasis on offering the best experience for each platform without cross-play support. The announcement was showcased in a trailer during the recent Galaxies event, and the upcoming ports will include the latest New Frontiers expansion released in 2023. Despite early challenges, the game has seen significant improvements through updates and expansions, preparing it for a fresh audience on consoles.

Will Icarus have cross-play between PC and consoles?

No, Icarus will not feature cross-play capability between PC and console versions. Dean Hall has stated that the two versions are incompatible due to content differences, aiming to provide an optimal experience on both platforms.

Icarus is a PvE survival crafting game that allows players to team up with others and explore its rich environments. Originally released in 2021, it focuses on cooperative gameplay for up to eight players, navigating a hostile world filled with challenges and survival elements. The game has undergone a transformation since its rocky launch, benefiting from multiple expansions that have refined its mechanics and content.
