Wondering if Dragon's Dogma 2 is on PS4 or Xbox One? Find out why this ambitious RPG is a current-gen exclusive and what consoles you'll need to play.
Alright, let's get straight to it: if you're hoping to play Dragon's Dogma 2 on your PS4 or Xbox One, I've got some news for you. Unfortunately, it's not going to happen. This game is a current-gen exclusive, meaning it's designed specifically for the newer consoles.
Capcom hasn't gone into super fine detail about the exact reasons, but it's pretty clear why. Dragon's Dogma 2 is a massive undertaking, reportedly four times the size of the first game. To get all those ambitious features and that huge world running smoothly, they needed the power that only the PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X|S can provide. Trying to cram all that onto older hardware would just be impossible.
The official word came out when the game was first fully revealed, and the platform list on the website was updated. So, if you want to dive into the world of Dragon's Dogma 2, you'll definitely need to have a PS5 or an Xbox Series X|S. There's virtually no chance of it ever showing up on the PS4 or Xbox One, especially now that we're well into the current console generation. We're seeing more and more games, like Street Fighter 6 (which did get a PS4 version, but was also on Series X|S), launching exclusively for the newer systems.
Basically, the sheer amount of stuff happening in Dragon's Dogma 2 requires the horsepower of the current-gen consoles to keep everything running without a hitch. Don't worry though, it's worth it for the experience you'll get!
