Today, Frontier Developments announced that Planet Coaster: Console Edition is launching simultaneously as an enhanced version for bothXbox Series Xand PlayStation 5, plus Xbox One and PlayStation 4.

According to the team, the game brings to life the fun and excitement of designing and running a theme park, offering all the depth, strategy, and customization found in the beloved PC game and allowing players to create and manage the ultimate coaster park as they strive for success.

Piece-by-piece construction offers a lot of freedom as you sculpt the park of their dreams, while physics-driven realism and advanced simulation puts you close to the action. You’re in full control, tweaking every aspect as crowds react with delight, panic, or disapproval in real-time.

We’ve played the game on PC and it’s quite addictive. It’s one of the best simulators out there, so if you’re on Xbox One or Xbox Series X, be sure to check it out towards the end of the year.

It’ll last you a couple of months

Xbox Game Pass gives you access to over 200 games for one monthly fee. Xbox Game Pass Ultimate also adds Xbox Live Gold to the package so you can play online with your friends.
