The remake of System Shock, which first released for PC last year, will be ported to PS5 and PS4 on 21st May 2024, it's been confirmed. Having inspired the likes of BioShock years later, Nightdive Studios has remade the classic experience for modern audiences. You can check out the console announcement trailer above.
The initial release of the remake on PC boasted of updated visuals, mechanics, and enemy AI, along with new areas to explore and fresh puzzles to crack. All of that will come to PS5 and PS4 along with any post-launch updates in around two months' time.
On Metacritic, the PC remake has an overall rating of 78 from 80 reviews. IGN awarded the game a 9/10 and explained: "Nightdive's remake masterfully brings most of the aspects that havenβt aged as well into the present day, with excellent new graphics and nearly all the modern gameplay conveniences you could want. Get out there and give her hell, hacker."

Nightdive are wizards, this is a great remaster of a classic.
This actually looks sick. Too bad it's not AAAA quality like Skull & Bones
Never played the original so this is great. Digital only I'm guessing?
Yeah baby, it's about time.
It's about time!
Now THAT is a happy Tuesday surprise!!
My system had a shock when I first heard the news. Can't wait.
Hope 2 gets the same treatment, and that 3 finally gets revived
Excellent i've been itching to finally play it and Nightdive are gods of remakes and remasters.

@Trousersnake 100% this comment.
This will bring back some great 90s memories, can't wait!
Nightdive are an amazing studio and probably have one of the safest business models in the industry right now.
I hope they stay independent so they can keep doing what they do across the whole industry.
Finally! Been waiting for this for a while
The original was one of the first PC games I ever played, such a fantastic spooky atmosphere. Hope it feels the same in May
Awesome! Been looking forward to this making its way to consoles. Will definitely pick it up at some point.
How much is this going to cost?
Physical copy or I wait for a deep sale, but I'll buy it for sure.
Magnificent. Must buy for me.
Can we now have System Shock 2?
@Danloaded it's available on physical on TheGameCollection for pre-order!

Nightdive are actually owned by Atari now and have been for a while, but it luckily seems pretty hands off.
@PegasusActual93 I meant platform neutral than anything else but yeah you're right.
I actually quite like the way that 'new' Atari have been doing things recently so it seems Nightdive will be in safe hands. The 2600+ is a great retro mini console.
Finally!! π In own this on PC already, but dislike playing on PC for longer instances, looking forward to cozy couchplay ..
@Czar_Khastik cuz it's AAAAA π
