We Need a Console Port#789

We needed a console port for Rivals. I don’t seem to find any plans on the dev team to make a port for console and that is really strange, I would say the game was in the need for a cross play environment with such a limited amount of players on PC.

It would be so beneficial to appeal for console players as the game is going to show up in EVO too. I really hope at least a “we plan on doing it” it would already be awesome.

the already said years ago that there will be console ports with crossplay. It just takes time and in all honest, the game is far from ready for a console crowd.

A console launch has been planned the whole time (you can see it in the “Beyond” section of the 2026 roadmap, and I believe it was also on the 2025 roadmap’s “beyond” section - it’s not necessarily just 2027 lol), but they want to do it in a similar way to Rivals 1 - once the roster is filled out a bit more and the game has a bit more polish, releasing the game as a “definitive edition” and also doing a console release at the same time. Dan also talked about this on a devstream recently - it would make their patch cycles much different than they are right now because of how consoles have to validate patches and all versions would have to be up to parity because of crossplay.
