Early last month, we reported on a series of Redditors that found signs of a PS5 version for Biomutant in the backend of PSN. As of recently, though, it’s gone past speculation and into confirmation. 

Experiment 101 took to the game’s blog to reveal that the game will get a native PS5 version later this year complete with 4K graphics, HDR support, and up to 60 FPS. For PS5 gamers out there, the dev’s also noted that they’re taking full advantage of the DualSense’s haptic feedback, adaptive triggers, and all the PS5 exclusive fixings. 

There’s also the Activity Cards, which are PlayStation exclusive that provide a “variety of different ways” to get back into Biomutant. Oh and don’t worry, if you already own the game, you’ll be able to upgrade to a PS5 version free of charge. 

Alongside the blog post, they also released a short trailer for the current-gen version that you can watch below.

Experiment 101 and THQ Nordic has earmarked September 6, 2022 as its release.

Native PS5 Biomutant On The Horizon

It’s looking like a native current-gen version of Experiment 101’s Biomutant is heading our way. As spotted by Redditors, the action RPG found a slot on PSN’s backend for a PS5 version.

It was always planned to release a new version for the current-gen consoles when it hit store shelves in May 2021, but for the most part, the game, which failed to truly capture a super strong audience, didn’t have much in terms of updates on that endeavor.

The most we got was a tweet back in January about not being through with the game. Unfortunately, this leak doesn’t have a release date, but it does show promise. 

Currently, the only way to play Biomutant on the PS5 is through backwards compatibility, which allows the game to run at a native 1080p resolution at 60fps, but also gets the benefit of Dynamic Resolution. That said, Experiment 101 was put in the position to deactivate the native 4K in order to help stability and performance issues, leading to some backlash from PS5 owners.

Both the developer and THQ Nordic have been decently quiet about the perks of swiping the PS5 version will be, but we can of course hope that the dev’ll find a way to bring native 4K back.
