Console Support

2027 Research Phase

PlayStation and Xbox require platform licensing and additional R&D. We're exploring this for future versions once the PC version is established. We’ll explore this once the PC platform is proven and user demand justifies it.

Timeline Transparency

Hardware development rarely goes exactly as planned. We'll update this roadmap monthly and communicate any changes through our newsletter and Discord.

If unexpected challenges arise, we'll explain what happened and provide revised estimates.
