Many of us might remember Hyper Light Drifter, a great indie title set in a futuristic world of lost technologies released way back in 2016. Since then, a lot has changed, and soon we will be able to explore the Overgrowth in 3D. This is a similar upgrade to what Risk of Rain has seen with its latest part. While Hyper Light Breaker is about to enter Early Access program at the beginning of the new year, many wonder what platforms it will be released on. Will we be able to play it on consoles like PS4, PS5, Xbox, or maybe Nintendo Switch? Let’s find out, as this game’s stylized art style would look great on those devices.

Heart Machine left a great impression on the players with their Hyper Light Drifter, and now the second part of this game is about to be released in Early Access. HLD is available on all major consoles of the time, like PS4, Xbox, and Nintendo Switch, so what about HLB? Will it go the same path? As usually happens with smaller indie productions, the answer is – maybe. Let me explain.

Only the biggest players on the gaming market, like Activision with their Call of Duty franchise, can go all in and release their titles on all platforms simultaneously, including even previous generation consoles. Smaller studios have to work their way through in stages. They must manage their resources better to stay afloat. While initially HLB will be released on Steam in Early Access, the developers do not exclude the possibility of eventually porting it to larger number of devices. It depends on how the production will be received on computers, first. This has been confirmed by one of the moderators on developer’s official discord server.

If you would like that to happen sooner, make sure to support the game and leave a positive review (if it deserves one), so more people can find it and enjoy, too. Anything can happen, so don’t let our hopes down!
