Tactical PC FPS Game Squad Is Coming to Consoles, Playable PS5 Alpha Releases Later This Month

The acclaimed PC shooter, Squad, is coming to consoles — and PS5 players will be able to experience it very soon.

Developer Offworld Industries has announced that Squad will be making its way to Xbox Series X|S and PS5. PlayStation players will be able to give it a whirl later this month with a playable alpha, which will take place from October 16 - 25. Xbox players will have to wait for the full release, unless Offworld provides another opportunity to test the console version out ahead of launch.

The developer has promised an optimised experience for console with handpicked maps, a "bespoke polish for flawless performance," optional crossplay with other consoles, and new communication methods via a radial wheel that allows you to issue commands and pings. The game is expected to bring its 50v50 matches to the consoles, as well.
