Amazon Studios' , a free-to-play PVP third-person shooter, is now out and available on PC. However, while the game is currently only playable by the PC crowd, many are likely wondering whether the game will ever come ♌to console, at least the PS4 and Xbox One.
According to , the game could exist on Xbox One and PS4 in terms of presentational demands. The game's PC requirements don't indicate that the PS4 and Xbox One couldn't handle the game, and it's very viable for next-gen consoles. Yet, there are no stated plans for a console release, be it for the current generation or next generation, with regards to Crucible.
However, there could be some logistical problems stalling or impeding a console version's development or announcement. As per franchise lead , we are reminded that Crucible is releasing during the COVID-19 pandemic, which has affected game development far and wide. Like other development studios, the Crucible development studi♓o has been working on the game remotely, which has changed the develo💃pmental process.
Further, with the development team located in Washington, one of the first hotspots for the novel coronavirus, Crucible's ဣdevelopment process was 🔯likely impacted to a huge degree.
As such, any chance of a console port or version is likely on the low end right now. While the pandemic is definitely a factor here, so is monitoring the game's PC release an𒊎d reviewing the issues that players run into on PC.
The game is a first for Amazon Studios, so it will be interesting to see how Crucible changes over time, as well as whether the free-to-play title gets console ports or not. If it's anything like Apex Legends, Fortnite, or PUBG, Crucible will likely explode in popularity soon enough, though the limit to PC does🎃 hamper that possibility💛.
Thus far, Crucible has received mediocre marks. While Amazon Studios is being commended for their work on their first title, the game has a ways to go before it becomes the next Fortnite or go-to free-to-play game. Simply put, it's an admirable release from꧑ Amazon Studios that, if taken the route of other routinely updated free-to-p🐈lay games, can possibly be beheld in the same regard.
