‘Weird West: Definitive Edition’ Releasing May 8 for PS5 and Xbox Series

Launched last April for PC via Steam, PlayStation 4 and Xbox One, Devolver Digital’s Weird West is getting a current-gen upgrade next week for PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series. Announced via Twitter, developer Wolfeye Studios will release Weird West: Definitive Edition on May 8, which will feature 4K resolution at 60 frames per second, as well as the previously-released free updates to the game.

No word on if there will be a free Definitive Edition upgrade for those who own the last-gen versions of Weird West. More details on the upgrade are expected next week.

From the co-creators of Dishonored and Prey at WolfEye Studios, Weird West is a dark fantastical reimagining of the Wild West, where lawmen and gunslingers share the frontier with fantastical creatures, each playing by their own rules and their own peculiar motives. Players will journey through the story of a group of atypical heroes, with each journey being unique and tailored to the actions taken.

Each playthrough is unique, as the game tailors the story to the player’s actions and past choices for an ideal dramatic arc. You’ll be faced with brutal choices and consequence that can’t be undone—including death itself.

Weird West is currently available for the PlayStation 4, Xbox One, and PC via Steam. And if you’re interested in hearing more about the game, Neil and Jay are happy to oblige with the Safe Room Podcast.

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.
