Who you gonna call for new Planet Coaster: Console Edition content? Ghostbusters, of course! Frontier has announced a new licensed expansion for its theme park management sim – set to release on 29th April for PlayStation 5 and PS4 for £12.99/$14.99 – which will add the likes of ECTO-1 and Stay Puft Marshmallow Man to your library of blueprints.
Featuring sound effects direct from the 1984 movie, in addition to two new rides – the RollerGhoster and the Ghost Busters Experience – you’ll be able to truly boost interest in your park. There’s even a new story-driven scenario that you’ll be able to complete, featuring the vocal talents of Dan Aykroyd and William Atherton.
If that’s not enough, a separate expansion, the Studios Pack, will allow you to “choreograph heart-pounding stunt shows, design exciting backlot tours, and create cinematic thrill rides that put guests right in the heart of the action”. That one comes with a ton of blueprints and construction pieces, as well as three additional rides.
The Studios Pack is also due out on 29th April, and will cost £7.99/$9.99. Are you planning to enhance your parks with this DLC at all? Book a day trip in the comments section below.

If i can get to grips with controlling the camera i may get this, when the dlc is on sale. I still need to spend some quality time with the game
@Rob_230 I'm exactly the same the controls are a bit fiddly, but like you haven't given it enough time yet, might give it another go at some point. Seems like a good game though just controls let it down a bit
@Daleaf Absolutely that. In my head this is my dream game to unwind to. I've always wanted a quality park sim on my console - and whilst this could very well be it, my head was being tied in knots trying to even lay a connecting footpath in the tutorial 😅
Then the next game came out and i put it down. This gen im determined to actually finish all the games i buy - but i've already accumulated 11 PS5 games somehow - but i will get round to this for sure. I'm expecting to largely use premade coasters than build my own though. That looks like it will be incredibly tough to get right using a controller
Is this game any good? I've wanted a new Theme Park game since the last one came out, and I kinda thought the Two Point Hospital people might help me out but apparently they're not making one. Will this fill the gap? I want to build rollercoasters and charge people a kings ransom for tacky souvenirs.
@Rob_230 Keyboard & Mouse is an option too. I find myself using a bit of a hybrid depending on what I'm doing.
Ok, that's pretty awesome. I dropped off the campaign as I moved into the Hard scenarios and focused on other games, but this will totally bring me back.
@Rob_230 Haha yea it's really fiddly creating a path at times, and camera too, sometimes I thought I was getting to grips with it but then lose it lol. I was same when they released it thought it was my kind of game, and think it is just need to give it time I think, and definitely not building my own coasters that tutorial did my head in lol was so hard thought I had a decent one not to scare people and the dial was right to the top lol.
Yea I'm trying to buy and finish games this gen, like you not doing so well, either I don't like the game or I'm not in the mood to play it, I have finished a few but slowly getting a backlog again lol, currently on Yakuza like a dragon, I'm enjoying it but not really in the mood for it but pushing myself to finish it at the moment, just going to finish the story quick and leave the side stuff since returnal is out on Friday.
@johncalmc from what I have played it is a good game, where you can build coasters and do pricing on pretty much everything, the only thing is the controls are fiddly but there is definitely a great game there once you get to grips with the controls.
@Daleaf are the controls fiddlier than the sims? And is there any other licensed dlc?
@johncalmc not sure about the Sims never played it, the controlling of the camera and placing some items I found really fiddly, but I think once you get to grips with it then should be fine, I just haven't had a chance for a proper session on it yet as I got it just before my ps5 arrived and only played a bit of it. There are other dlc but don't think they are licensed like this more extra rides and themes.
@Daleaf haha snap. I finished Persona 5 strikers and was like, ok lets go to the backlog and play something before Resident Evil arrives. I started on the Pathless but got stumped on a puzzle so i started like a dragon instead. Loving it so far. Only on Chapter 4 and am a big fan of Ichiban, even if i am missing Kiryu! No way i'll get that finished before Resi though. And then Ratchet. Lol how people complain of there not being enough to play!!
Excited to see the response to Returnal. It looks great, though what i am hearing about difficulty leaves me a little worried as i am terrible at souls esque games
@Rob_230 I'm on chapter 9 on Yakuza atm, yea that ichiban is a great character, good story. Hopefully finish it before Friday. Will probably pick up persona strikers at some point too.
Haha always enough to play, my biggest problem is either sticking with something or not being in the mood for a game and try and find something lol.
Yea I'm not brilliant at souls like games but I always try and finish them haven't managed yet lol, but demon souls I just stopped playing although I was doing well in it, want to get back to that too. Might have to stop buying things after returnal but I definitely want resi too so maybe after that will go back to backlog, probably won't happen but will try (honest haha)
nice graphics
