Fans of light-hearted business management simulations rejoice: popular PC-based medical release Two Point Hospital is coming to the PlayStation 4 in “late 2019”. The title – which has been developed by Theme Hospital alumni – sees you assume the role of a hospital administrator, dealing with staff recruitment and new breakthroughs in the weird and wonderful world of medical science.
“Bringing Two Point Hospital to console is something we always envisioned when starting up Two Point Studios in 2016,” game director Mark Webley said. “Our community’s number one question since launch has been: ‘When is Two Point Hospital coming to consoles?’ Well, it is happening and we are very excited.”
There simply aren’t enough games in this genre on the PS4, so we’re beyond excited to see one of the best in the category put in an appearance on console. As big fans of Bullfrog’s output back on the PSone, this release is going to be tinged with nostalgia for us – we must have invested hundreds of hours into building our medical empire as nippers, and we can’t wait to do it all over again as adults.

At the end of the video, I almost expected to see from Aardman Animations...
Great news - I'll buy it for PS4 too day one, so long as Two Point is optimised for console better than its predecessor was Theme Hospital was one of my favourite PC games from my childhood and I too must've put a ridiculous amount of hours into it both as a child and as a nostalgic adult, but I only tried it once on PSone and the controls weren't great.
@MistressTonberry Oh it controlled terribly on PSone, but I still loved it to bits.
@get2sammyb Haha, yeah I was the same with other Bullfrog games Theme Park and Theme Park World on PSone, as I knew the controls were better on PC, but I was only bought them for console and I just really loved the "Theme" games! I read that it's hard to get management sims' controls right on consoles, but they generally seem to be optimised way better on average in the PS4 era than they used to be
Im excited. Maybe planet coaster will come one day.
Game gets boring after a while
Given Theme Hospital got delisted off the EU store region ages ago, this should hopefully be the next best thing! Had good fun with Theme Park on the ps1 back in the day even if it was only a so-so port.
More cheese Gromit?
yes please, looking forward this one
@get2sammyb it said late 2019. if it coming out in November that mean November gonna be very busy month : Death Stranding, Star Wars Jedi Fallen Order, Shenmue 3
Man, so happy for this announcement. I loved Theme Hospital.
Speaking of Bullfrog, I'd love to see a modern Populous on PS4.
Looking forward to this, but leaning towards switch version of it runs ok
