Will this ever be availabe on playstation?

[thedeadmanshow87]

So I already own GD on my pc of course lol But im just curious, as to why it has never been on PlayStation? I have a few friends that are dying to play, but cant because they only have ps. And my son would also love to play on his system so hes not always nagging for my pc lol
Would there be any downsides to that im wondering? I know its probably a lot of work to do something like and stressful as well dealing with sony probably..
Grim dawn is amazing and the devs did an incredible job with this game :)

The whole world should be able to play this game. Perhaps maybe one day devs?

Because Sony don't want this

Crate did approach Sony back in the day, but Sony was "less than forthcoming" as i recall the wording,
if/when Medea sees this she might post a link to the actual/direct dev comment on this

What about a Playstation release
Author Grim Dawn
Jason Bush Sorry, we don't have any plans currently to release on Playstation. It just sort of happened that MS reached out to us and actively tried to get us to do a port while Sony never responded to any of our email inquiries. At the time, we had a lot going on and trying to get on Playstation fell by the wayside. Given what a pain this Xbox port has been, I honestly don't know if we'll even bother with consoles in the future

Kaye Dewar Not so much we needed Sony to respond but Sony actually approached us first about a port and we started a dialog about it, then they just stopped replying, and I sort of forgot about it. This is actually not that unusual as big publishers frequently have re-orgs where people move around or leave. Meanwhile, someone from MS expressed interest and kind of got the ball rolling, so we ended up going with it. We didn't expect or receive any kind of kickback from either party. It's just easier sometimes to get through all the legal and setup / get dev kits, when you have someone advocating for you. Unfortunately, the guy we were dealing with at MS vanished too, so now we're just scrubs and can't get an X series kit. We also did the port because an engineer was interested in doing it but he didn't want to try doing two at once... We're a small team that wants to do a lot of things, we kind of go in the direction of our various interests. If we were set on doing a Sony port, I'm sure we'd have figured out how to get that going. We didn't expect or receive kickbacks from either.

Sony is the Japanese at their very American.

Pain in terms of communication/organization/collaboration with MS or in the technical sense? I always thought it was easier to develop a game for consoles than for PCs because PCs have thousands of possible configurations.

No idea. I know the port had some problems passing MS's verification before they could finally get it on to the store, but what else ..... idk.
