DC Universe Online coming to PS5, Xbox Series this holiday

Daybreak Game Company will release DC Universe Online for PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series this holiday season, the developer announced.

“Along with the performance gains found playing natively on the latest and greatest hardware, the team is also working on gameplay and quality of life improvements to match,” Daybreak Games said in its August development update. “This initiative is a long-term endeavor that is already underway. You will see some of these improvements launch over the next few months prior to release on the new consoles, some of them at launch, and some of them following over the course of next year.”

The PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series versions of DC Universe Online will run on the same servers as the existing versions, meaning that you will be able to play with your same characters and friends, and all purchases and achievements also carry over.
