Ancient MMO Star Trek Online is coming to the PlayStation 4 for reasons that only Spock will be able to understand. The free-to-play intergalactic foray launched an incredible six years ago on the PC, and it'll be making the transition to Sony's new-gen system with all of its content intact. This means that you'll be able to team up with the Federation, Klingons, or Romulans, and build a crew from over 32 available species. Or something – it's just what the press release told us.
From what we understand, this game is unique because it includes both space and ground combat, and you'll be able to visit various iconic locations from the legendary sci-fi series, including Deep Space Nine, which we've definitely heard of before. In transitioning to the PS4, developer Cryptic Studios had upgraded the game's graphics and user interface, and also completely overhauled the controls so that they work on a DualShock 4.
The game's due out later this year, and will be completely free to download. In fact, apparently you'll be able to see all of the title's story content and reach the release's level cap without spending a single penny. Do you intend to live long and prosper by giving this unexpected port a shot? Come up with some quality Star Trek puns in the comments section below, because we've got none.

Logical.
well i'm certainly going to play it, it was fun on PC although i stopped playing games on PC ages ago when it died and i can't afford to replace it with any decent hardware
any way i'm glad Star Trek Online is "setting a course" for PS4 and lets hope it can come out with "Phasers" firing and "Stun" us with some good content
(i'm sorry they were bad, forgive me)
@FullbringIchigo Better than mine!
Might give it a go, might be fun to play as a wookie.
@Cron_13 Blasphemy! Get out.
@Cron_13
Nice, here's hoping it lives long and prospers on PS4.
Played it years ago on PC and the microtransactions ruined it for me.
@Tasuki sadly micro transactions are a part of free to play games that are never going to go away i fear
after all they have to make money from it somehow
I'll give it a twirl.
@FullbringIchigo They could do a monthly fee like World of Warcraft does. The problem I have with F2p microtransactions that are not cosmetic is that it through skill out the window. It's not about which raid boss you kill, it's about how big is your pocket book.
Why did I sell my beautiful white ps4!! Damn you star trek!! Hurry up neo and launch already!!
Played it on PC at launch for about a year, but I'm so burnt out on MMO's, and this one isn't breaking any boundaries. I'm glad to see consoles get it though, but for me...I'm done with MMO's until something truly innovative comes along. This is also coming from a huge Star Trek Nerd as well.
@bbq_boy YOU SOLD A WHITE PS4????
what was you smoking that day ^_^
MMO star Trek hell yeah. Never played it on PC but am really getting into MMO's so will definatly give this a shot. Not even watched star trek in years but it will remind me of my youth.
Star Trek Online's F2P model is extra creepy. Played it for couple of months on PC. Gazillion of different ingame currencies, quadrillion of building materials, loot crate drops (basically a lottery) that require you to purchase keys for real money. Yeah, gonna pass. Gameplay itself is not bad though.
The only F2P game currently on Ps4 that does its finance model right is Warframe.
@FullbringIchigo Please don't! I'm still crying over that day! Hope the newer PS4 neo comes in white too.
@bbq_boy i feel your pain, i sold my launch model PS3 for a slim version, i know what it's like to make a silly decision about a console
