Following the recent reveal of a PlayStation 4 port, Below now has a confirmed release date for Sony's current-gen console. You'll be able to play this former Xbox One and PC exclusive from Tuesday 7th April 2020 alongside a new Explore mode which is said to make the experience much fairer and entertaining.
Kris Piotrowski, creative director at Capy Games, explains the decision behind adding the more forgiving mode over on the PlayStation Blog. "So while some fans loved the punishing challenge, others desperately wanted to be able to spend more time simply bathing in the dripping darkness of Below’s environments, without having to surmount the sheer cliff of the game’s difficulty. The Explore Update was created exactly for these players, designed for everyone to enjoy."
In the Explore mode, your hunger and thirst meters never drain, insta-kills are no longer a thing, and campfires now act as permanent checkpoints. That original, tough experience still ships with Below on PS4, but it sounds like the Explore mode is what most players will want to opt for when it comes to an initial playthrough.

I'm very interested thanks to the Explore mode making it sound more accessible. I just wish this would come to Switch. Seems like a good fit.
I have too many games to play now, just bought assassin creed odyssey and farcry 4 on pc, I think I'll wait this on psplus.
I love the indie boom on PS4. It really fills out the Playstation catalog. Hope it continues on PS5.
Cant wait for the LRG Edition. 😃👍
Never was an Xbox exclusive, developed and published by a 3rd party Studio and released on two platforms. No, adding 'console' still won't make it an Xbox exclusive. If it was released on more than one platform (which is the only term that matters) then it isn't exclusive.
Also, the game sucked.
@GoblinKing86 LOL's. Lockdown getting to you. While this might not be everyones cup of tea, I love the game, maybe you find it a bit hard. Definatly worth a look at. Great little indi game.
