#PS5 BEYOND A STEEL SKY SOFTWARE#

The PlayStation 5 version of Beyond a Steel Sky is a rock-solid port and a delightful surprise Revolution Software didn’t originally plan to make a native version for the console (as it is backwards compatible with PlayStation 4 games) but later changed its mind. Another benefit of these comprehensive patches? The console version has arrived in fabulous shape! However, never a studio to rest on its laurels, Revolution Software spent the months following release continually patching and improving the game, as well as adding new features such as an in-depth director’s commentary.Īll of these improvements served to continually increase immersion and allow Beyond a Steel Sky to truly shine after all, when a game has art direction and sound design as accomplished as this, you want to be distracted by the underlying technology as little as possible. When Beyond a Steel Sky launched on PC (please see AMO’s original review here), it was a wonderful adventure unfortunately marred by some slight – but noticeable – technical issues. Beyond a Steel Sky is a story-driven adventure game originally released on Apple Arcade and PC in 2020, which Alternative Magazine Online’s review described as “a refreshing throwback that feels thoroughly modern and should be experienced by any self-respecting fan of the genre.” A sequel to the 1994 cult classic Beneath a Steel Sky, this follow-up – which is set 10 years later, with Robert Foster returning to Union City to track down a kidnapped child – was recently released on PlayStation 4, PlayStation 5, Xbox consoles and Nintendo Switch.
