The Artful Escape is planning a headline show for PlayStation 5 and PS4, if a newly found PS Store listing is to be believed. Discovered by Well Played AU, the game from developer Beethoven & Dinosaur can be wishlisted on the digital marketplace before an official announcement has even been made. As such, it's very safe to say this PS5, PS4 port is happening in the near future. The release date is simply listed as "coming soon" for now.
The title first launched last year for PC and Xbox platforms, releasing to positive reviews. Our sister site Pure Xbox awarded the game an 8/10, calling it "a fantastic musical odyssey". It's a psychedelic adventure about escaping the musical legacy of a relative. How protagonist Francis Vendetti does that is very much outside the realms of reality.
We'll share official word once Annapurna Interactive announces the PS5, PS4 ports, but it's nice to know in the meantime The Artful Escape is definitely making its way over. Have you played this one? Play us a tune in the comments below.

Awesome. PS getting all the cool indies after all
I want to play this just for the cast alone. Lena Headey, Jason Schwartzman, Mark Strong and Carl Weathers is quite the cast. Although I said that about Twelve Minutes…
@nessisonett Don't worry, this one is actually good.
Woah this must be like a 6 month exclusive… guess Phil really pushed the boat out on this one!
Noice? I wonder when the gamepass playstation exclusion of unpacking will end.
I had no clue the 2021 goty was a console exclusive wow. Such a beautiful game man
@nessisonett
Twelve Minutes isn't what I would call a great game but it was enough of a mind f--k to not be forgettable at least.
It’s noice, it’s different, it’s unusual.
They want their game to actually sell (to be bought), so no surprise here... They should release it on Switch as well.
100 percent recommend this game, 1k it on Gamepass, brilliant 5 hour game.
This is one of the few games i have actually played on gamepass and it was really good, its a nice short game probablly best to do in one sitting.
Very interested in this. I take Annapurna Interactive as a mark of quality, so many high quality indie titles over the years.
Really liked the look of this one. Glad I'll get to play it.
Played it on GamePass on PC. It’s a very linear title that’s just a touch more than walking simulator in terms of gameplay, but it was delightful and weird. It reminded me a lot of 80s movies like Bill and Ted.
I played this on Game Pass, great game.
I played this on Game Pass too - an 'enjoyable' and very pretty looking game that I would NEVER buy but still enjoyed how pretty it was and how the 'music' impacted on the visuals. Its a bit 'Bill & Ted' in its story and I'd recommend it...
You have to wonder how much money these developers actually get by going on Gamepass. This particular title has an all time peak of 64 players on Steam so Gamepass obviously eats into those sales as well.
I’ve been considering buying a XB but every exclusive that has come out on it has eventually come to PS5. I hate first person shooters and don’t like racing games. I guess there will never be a need if this is the trend.
Brilliant little game. It's basically a Zappaesque fever dream. Light on actual gameplay but it tells a great story with some excellent writing and performances. Definitely one of my favourites from last year.
I'm playing it now on Xbox and it's a telling a neat story, the ability to just slam on a guitar constantly is great but it's a very basic platformer
So glad to see this coming to PS.
