Dying Light: The Beast Cancelled for PS4 and Xbox One Consoles, 10 Months After Current-Gen Launch
Digital Foundry • • technology
Key Points:
- Techland has officially cancelled the last-gen PS4 and Xbox One versions of Dying Light: The Beast due to technical limitations and the inability of older hardware to support the game's advanced visuals and open-world design.
- The game was designed specifically for current-generation consoles, requiring processing power and memory that previous-gen systems lack, making compromises unacceptable to the developers.
- Pre-order customers expecting to play on PS4 or Xbox One will be offered full refunds, as Techland aims to avoid leaving those players feeling excluded.
- The cancellation reflects a broader industry trend, as intensive new games increasingly focus on PS5, Xbox Series, and PC platforms, with older consoles being phased out.
- Techland encourages feedback from players still using last-gen consoles to understand their experiences and perspectives.
