If you’re a fan of co-op survival games with a dash of spooky (and hilarious) chaos, you’ve probably heard the buzz around Content Warning. This game, where you and your pals become viral ghost hunter wannabes, is blowing up on Steam. Think low-budget horror movies, ragdoll physics gone wild, and the pure joy of screaming with your friends as creepy monsters chase you.
Can I Play It On My Console?
Currently, Content Warning is a PC exclusive. This has a lot of PlayStation and Xbox players feeling left out, and understandably so! The game looks like a perfect fit for chaotic console gaming sessions.
The folks at Landfall Publishing, the devs behind Content Warning, are aware of the console interest. They’ve said they’re looking into the possibility, but there are some technical hurdles to overcome. It sounds like it’s not a “no”, but more of a “we’ll see if we can make it work” situation.
Surprise Hits Can Mean Surprising Ports
Landfall Publishing has a history of bringing their surprise-hit PC games to consoles later. Their other goofy game, Totally Accurate Battle Simulator, made the jump eventually. Plus, with Content Warning’s massive popularity, porting it to other platforms makes a lot of business sense.
Why the Hype? It’s More Than Just Jump Scares
Sure, the creepy atmosphere and spooky monsters in Content Warning are cool, but the real magic is in the co-op craziness.
The idea of becoming internet-famous ghost hunters adds a weirdly compelling twist to the survival horror formula. Content Warning was made by a small team, and you can feel that passion. It’s got those goofy, experimental vibes that bigger games sometimes lack.
Waiting Sucks, But There’s Hope!
While a console release isn’t guaranteed (yet!), don’t lose hope, PlayStation and Xbox fans. Keep checking in on Landfall’s social media pages for updates. And in the meantime, if you know PC gamers, try to convince them to give it a shot. Watching gameplay videos might be the next best thing to actually playing for now!
Other Games to Check Out While We Wait
If you’re craving that spooky co-op fun, here are a few console-friendly options that have a similar feel:
- Phasmophobia:Â The OG of the “amateur ghost hunter” genre. Still super popular, and for good reason!
- GTFO:Â Dark, atmospheric, and way less goofy than Content Warning, but amazing co-op tension.
- Devour:Â A smaller indie game, but it captures that “low-budget horror flick” vibe perfectly.
Final Words
Content Warning has the potential to be an absolute riot on consoles. Let’s collectively send those positive vibes towards Landfall – maybe if enough of us make some noise, we’ll see a PlayStation or Xbox port sooner than we think!
