Icarus Sets Q1 2026 PS5 and Xbox Launch With New Frontiers Included

Developers split the PC and console builds to optimize each platform, resulting in no cross-play.

Overview

  • Grip Studios in the Czech Republic is developing the console edition separately from RocketWerkz, the original PC team.
  • The console versions will not be compatible with PC, with Dean Hall confirming cross-play is off the table due to deliberate divergence.
  • The package includes the base game plus the New Frontiers expansion at launch, adding the Prometheus region, three new biomes, mutated creatures, six missions, and more than 100 craftable items.
  • Console drops support solo play or co-op for up to four players, with proper controller support highlighted as a benefit of the console effort.
  • A reveal trailer debuted during the Galaxies showcase, marking the latest update since the game’s original 2021 PC release.
