MechWarrior 5: Mercenaries is headed to PS4 and PS5 later this month, which will mark the fඣirst time a MechWarrior game has come to a PlayStation console since 1997.

Pi𝓰ranha Games announced on the official that it's bringing the latest MechWarrior 🍃game, as well as its big Heroes of the Inner Sphere DLC expansion, to PlayStation on September 23. The PS5 version of MechWarrior 5 will support the DualSense controller's adaptive triggers as well as its haptic feedback.

Both PlayStation consoles will be able to crossplay with all other supported platforms for four-player co-op multiplayer; MechWarrior 5 was originally released on PC, Xbox One, and X🌟box Series X in May, and it sounds like you'll be able to🔥 have one great big stompy party with everybody.

The PlayStation versions of the game will launch with the same slate of post-launch features PC and Xbox players enjoy right now, including the ability to swap control between your own mech and AI squadmates, a new campaign story introduction, and visual effects for extreme weather. With a new pool of PlayStation playe♛rs joining the war effort, Piranha Games is also tweaking how i♊t handles DLC in multiplayer: as long as the party's host owns Heroes of the Inner Sphere, everybody will be able to play through the complete campaign.

Even if it's a little la🔯te coming, it's still good to see 'mech𒊎s lumbering toward PlayStation for the first time since MechWarrior 2: 31st Century Combat.
