Hellpoint coming to PS5, Xbox Series in 2021
Free upgrade from PlayStation 4 and Xbox One versions.
Publisher tinyBuild and developer Cradle Games will release PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series versions of Hellpoint in 2021 as a free upgrade to the existing PlayStation 4 and Xbox One versions, the companies announced.
The enhanced version will include support for higher frame rates and resolutions, faster loading times, and the following two visual modes:
- Performance Mode – Dynamic 4K resolution at 60 frames per second on PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X
- Quality Mode – Native 4K resolution at 30 frames per second on PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X
The Souls-like action RPG will be playable on PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series via backward compatibility on day one, prior to its native release in 2021, where it will run better and add a new “unlock frame rate” option via a patch.
Hellpoint launched digitally for PlayStation 4, Xbox One, and PC, Mac, and Linux via Steam on July 30. It is due out physically for PlayStation 4, as well as both physically and digitally for Switch in November.
Here is an overview of the game, via tinyBuild:
