Disco Elysium is one more of those RPGs that makes its way to PC, is shrouded in praise following a series of positive reviews, and then never makes its way to consoles. However, developer ZA/UM is thankfully flipping the script this time around as it has confirmed that a PlayStation 4 port is on its way.
Due for release at some point in 2020, the console release will be handled in-house because the publisher doesn't want to hire a porting company. Speaking with Escapist Magazine, lead designer Robert Kurvitz said: "The immediate plan, and this is why I won’t go on a holiday anytime soon, is to get Disco Elysium to as many people as possible. We’re going to port it next year to PlayStation and Xbox. We need to be very hands-on with the design of that.
The news comes off the back of the RPG's recent successful launch on PC which boasts of an impressive rating of 90 on Metacritic at the time of writing. IGN described it as "a unique blend of noir-detective fiction, traditional pen-and-paper RPGs, and a large helping of existentialist theory."

OMG!! PC exclusive coming to PS4! Ok, just joking, but after the Death Stranding meltdown some people need cheering up On topic: I'm intrigued by this game and might get it at a discount. Too many AAA games to buy ans not enough money and time.
Excellent news !
Possibly my game of the year but I haven’t got my hands on Death Stranding yet.
Awesome, loved the demo at EGX 2018 but don’t have a PC so can’t play.
Probably the only game on PS4 on which you can shoot a kid.
@gollumb82 If this is what the PC calls exclusive they can keep it lol
Port over Starcraft 2 etc and then we can talk.
Great news! though im hoping it will also get released on the Switch . I'm trying to resist the urge of buying the outer worlds so i can also play it on the N console
@JayDub
Well, that is what counts as a PC exclusive these days Speaking of Starcraft 2- I guess some people would like it to come to PS4 but I couldn't care less about RTS games, so I'm good. Meaningful PC exclusives ended with Crysis, a loooong time ago and I say that as an owner of a decent gaming rig. Disco Elysium looks interesting though, much like the Return of Obra Dinn. Will probably get both down the line.
@gollumb82 haha, nah was just messing around really, I might check it out. I do like it when consoles do get these types of games, it was great to see Frostpunk coming over, great game.
Looks interesting! I’ll probably check it out.
Awesome news!!
I like CRPG's, I will have to look into it.
