‘Ghostrunner’ Headed to Next-Gen Consoles in 2021, Current Console Users Receive Free Upgrade
Everyone’s jumping on the “free upgrade to next-gen” it seems, and publishers All In! Games and 505 Games are no exception when it comes to the upcoming Ghostrunner. The two publishers have announced that their upcoming cyberpunk slasher will receive a free upgrade for users who purchase Ghostrunner on the PlayStation 4 or Xbox One.
No word on if PC gamers will be getting an enhancement patch at some point to “compete”, but you never know with the modding community.
Ghostrunner is due out digitally for PlayStation 4, Xbox One, Switch, and PC via Steam, GOG, and the Epic Games Store on October 27.
A month after hitting the PlayStation 5 and the Xbox Series, Fancy Games and Blackbird Interactive’s Escape The Backrooms has landed on the Nintendo Switch 2. And like the PS5 and Xbox, the Switch 2 version of Escape The Backrooms includes the the Winter Wanderer and Chinese New Year cosmetic items, with more content to be added in the future.
No-clip beyond the bounds of reality and explore haunting liminal spaces, from iconic yellow hallways and echoing pool rooms to horrific hotels and bone-chilling birthday parties. Wander solo or with up to three friends in online co-op, hunting for exits to help you descend further into the Backrooms. Beware, as those teammates who no-clip into other areas of the map leave every member of your team must find the exit alive to escape.
Luckily, you can communicate with your teammates with proximity voice chat. However, the terrifying entities that stalk your every move and hear your every conversation, so stay quiet whenever you’re near any danger.
The Backrooms are only seemingly endless… right? Find out for yourself by returning to the Backrooms to uncover secret levels and unlock new endings. Test yourself in Nightmare Mode, where a single death leads to a full restart.
You can also grab Escape The Backrooms on Steam, which currently has a 20% discount during the Steam Summer Sale.
