German ratings board USK has handed an 18+ age rating to a PlayStation 5 version of Serious Sam 4, which hasn't been confirmed at the time of writing by developer Croteam. The game does have a PS4 version on the way, but this new bit of information all but confirms it's getting a native PS5 edition too. A Google Stadia exclusivity deal kept Serious Sam 4 off PS4, with the title releasing on both the streaming service and PC last year.
The problem is that it doesn't sound like we were missing out on very much. The game didn't review particularly well, with Metacritic slapping a 68 rating on it following mixed review. Serious Sam 4 is a prequel to the other entries, but it sounds like those are the ones you'll actually want to play. Still, it looks like this fourth instalment isn't too far away from a PS5, PS4 release.

Probably a PS4 version with PS5 enhancements?
Interesting that they are bothering to release it but I suppose they need to try and recoup some of the money after hiding it behind the garbage Stadia.
For newcomers - they may not find it very appealing, it's a tad old school by today's standards.
But it's good fun for the fans of the franchise, a throwback to the FPS games from many years ago.
Excitement!!! More hot trash PS4 ports coming!!! Crossing my fingers for Legend of Black Tiger or whatever it was called!!!
Played on PC. It is very fun and well worth a play. Lots of the negative reviews were about the lack of story (or how pointless it was) and also how the gameplay isn't anything new.
That said, it's one of the best FPS' I've played last gen. Old school fun, doesn't babysit the player, music is amazing, gameplay is smooth. Even this site would probably give it a 7/10 but it'll be one of the best 7/10 games you'll ever play.
How is an an average 7/10 poorly received? This sort of nonsense perpetuates the idea that a game is only worth playing if it receives an 8 or above and everything else is worthless.
Yeh well they’ll probably be able to dupe some more people into buying it because it had a rep for being cool back in the day. Even though it’s certainly not a standout any more. A fool and his money are soon parted and all that jazz 🤷🏻♂️
I'll be honest, thought it had already released on other platforms!
