THQ Nordic released Biomutant last year after a very prolonged development, and it had a mixed reception to say the least. Its intriguing open world filled with oddball characters and interesting combat resonated with some, but it's fair to say the game didn't quite stick the landing. Some visual glitches and hitches didn't help matters, but perhaps a native PS5 version might assuage some of those issues.
Well, it looks as though a PS5 port might be on the cards. A Reddit user named the_andshrew has reportedly spotted a listing for Biomutant on PS5 via the PS Store:
The image linked in the post reveals the Biomutant key art, but there's no direct mention of PS5, and we've no way to verify it at this point. Still, several games have been found in this manner before as they get uploaded to the backend close to announcement or release, so it's absolutely a possibility.
With myriad gaming presentations in the near future, we could imagine a Biomutant PS5 port being announced very soon. Would you be interested in a current-gen version of this curious game? Tell us in the comments section below.

I'd prefer a sequel or some direct story dlc.
I really enjoyed this game - got the platinum on PS4.
Not sure I’m ready to do it all again on PS5 but I’d definitely be up for some dlc.
"Insert dirty backend joke"
Did they fix any of the problems with the game?
This could've been a fun lighthearted adventure but I got bored after 3 or 4 hours...
I barely finished the game. Yeah, it was THAT terrible and I usually don't say that about many games.
I want my 30 dollars back lol!
I still haven't had a chance to play it yet, I don't care what reviews say, it looks good to me and I still intend on playing it and forming my own opinion, but right now I just have too many games to play at this time.
It was a tad disappointing but still was fun to play. I'd play this again.
@AFCC they did. Multiple updates. I put in dozens of hours months after the releases and it was relatively smooth
Relatively underrated in my opinion. It doesn't do anything particularly amazing but its a fun experience to play through once
Add it to ps plus and move on
Got a few hours into it but put it down for other stuff. It seemed interesting from what little I played, and if the PS5 upgrade is free, I'll definitely give it another go.
Lol please don’t bother
Yes!
Glad I waited to play it (paying off more and more these days…)!
got a loan of this off a mate over hyped didnt enjoy it.
Huh? Will it include all the dlc? If there is any? I might be interested, I've been waiting for the right price for the PS4 version but the sale is not good enough, I'm good on gaming laptop anyways
@BReal is it really bad?
@Divergent95 it actually gets better the further you get. Even I thought ‘wtf is this’ when I started playing but I ended up really enjoying it.
It’s definitely not a game for everyone though.
@huyi I dunno it depends on how you define the word bad. There’s worse games but it’s definitely a waste of your time
I really enjoyed this game but they released it with a low muddy resolution, before increasing it in a patch and immediately lowering it again. With that and the bugs I got fed up and stopped playing it in the hope that it would eventually become a complete, working game. A PS5 version would be perfect (I hope).
If it has a free PS5 upgrade, I’ll be pumped. If it doesn’t, I’ll feel like a dope for buying the PS4 version cheap hoping it’d upgrade for free
Ahh cool. Would give it a try when it’s a further polished version.
Hope it's released physically.
Hooray! I've been wanting to play this but kept holding off on the chance it'd get a PS5 upgrade.
@JustPlainLoco We are of the same mind! I don't judge a game until I've had a chance to play it for myself...though if multiple sites are giving a game (not Biomutant) terrible scores, then they might have a good point.
@Quintumply +1 for using one of my favourite words, 'assuage'.
I skipped this due to the disappointing reviews but I can see myself giving the PS5 version a go. Hopefully it comes to the PS Plus Extra tier.
@Resi32 Just so you know, they have zero plans to make any sequel or anymore entries for the entire IP. It performed so poorly they've essentially shelved the IP indefinitely.
They were originally going to do a big overhaul for the game but it haemorrhage so many players they just stopped supporting the game. You can see the dev comments in the discord chat history.
Still loads of bugs and they implemented barely any of the community requests they specifically asked for. They had an entire channel for community feature requests and had everyone vote...then implemented like 2 of them and didn't do anything else.
It's sad because I loved the game's concept and story but the crapfest which is the current game state is just depressing.
@Reeneman They've shelved the IP and there are zero plans for anymore updates, bugfixing or new content etc. It performed so badly they won't be making anymore Biomutant games. They are making a brand new IP for their next game due to the flop that was Biomutant.
The next gen update will just be enhanced visuals and the exact same core game with no new features or improvements. It's sad.
@Gatatog They've shelved the IP and the next gen version will just be graphics turned up and framerate tweak. They already told us on discord there will be no more content updates, no dlc and no more bugfixing. It's a joke.
@AFCC Barely. It is slightly less buggy now but there are still issues. The next gen version is basically the only thing they are working on now.
They told us on discord the IP is shelved and they won't be making a sequel despite cliffhanger ending. It performed very badly sales wise apparently.
All we are getting is some better graphics on console and that's it. No new content. No dlc. No fixes. The devs have all but abandoned the game.
So much for their original passion for the IP and the plans for a series.
I was super hyped for this game and then i played it. Its a jack of all trades master of none. It definitly could have used some game direction and some one to say "no you dont need 25 different types of collectables." It got boring very fast. Hopefully if it gets a sequel they address some of the issues.
@Fainstrider Are these not the guys who have bought a insane of IP's and sometimes to much is a bad thing. If its not ok just drop it in a fault money enough.
@Adaminoregon Collectables are done wrong in 95% of the games. Its mostly done to waste your time and used as some padding.
Its probably said so many times but for me its only done right in HZD where it fills in the backstory and that makes it fun to collecte and the collectables are always accessible.
