[Trailer] ‘Pumpkin Jack’ Heads to PS5, Xbox Series Next Month
Headup and developer Nicolas Meyssonnier’s action-platformer Pumpkin Jack (which we previously reviewed) will be getting the next-gen upgrade on October 27. The developer and publisher announced that those who previously purchased the PlayStation 4 and Xbox One versions of the game will receive a free upgrade for the PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series versions.
And, in an extra Halloween treat, Headup also announced that Pumpkin Jack will be cross-buy on PlayStation and Xbox platforms. Meaning, if you buy the PlayStation 5 or Xbox Series version, you’ll also get the last-gen version, as well!
Next-gen enhancements for Pumpkin Jack include a Performance Mode that targets up to 4K resolution at 60fps, and a Quality Mode that targets up to 4K resolution at 30 frames per second, adding higher quality effects and shadows with Ray-Tracing.
In addition to consoles, Pumpkin Jack is also available on Steam, the Epic Games Store and GOG.com.
Remember back in 2022 when developer Survios had announced that they were teaming up with 20th Century Games to develop a new Alien title? Well seeing as it’s Alien Day, Survios has announced their brand-new VR title, Alien: Rogue Incursion. Coming “Holiday 2024” to the PlayStation VR2, SteamVR, and Quest 3, Rogue Incursion will feature an original story that “fully surrounds players within the terrors of the Alien universe”.
Details on the game are light at the moment, but the official site describes the upcoming title as being “designed by Alien fans for Alien fans”, with Survios aiming to craft a “technically advanced, and frightfully immersive Alien virtual reality game.”
Seeing as Alien: Isolation never got official VR support when it was released, this is obviously a welcome announcement. In the meantime, if you’re keen to experience an Alien game in VR, you can always check out the fan-made mod for Alien: Isolation by Nibre_, which allows both the Steam and Epic Games Store version of Alien: Isolation to be played using the Oculus.
And speaking of Alien: Isolation, as you might expect, it’s got a hefty 80% discount going on at the moment on Steam until May 1. So if you still haven’t grabbed it after all these years, this is as good a time as any.
