Is Hyper Light Breaker on console? What we know so far

Hyper Light Breaker, the follow up to the well-received Hyper Light Drifter has entered Early Access on Steam with a bunch of content to explore ahead of the full 1.0 release.

Since there are so many fans of Hyper Light Drifter — which is a multi platform title — those looking to get stuck in with Breaker are wondering if it shares the same fate of being playable on a variety of systems.

Here, we’ll take a look at if Hyper Light Breaker has a console release so you know whether to get your hopes up or not.

Hyper Light Breaker console release: Is it on PlayStation and Xbox?

Even though the game is currently in Steam Early Access, other titles that enter the program also have the same builds available on console to test various bugs and stability issues.

Unfortunately, Hyper Light Breaker isn’t one of those and is sadly a Steam-only game at this moment in time.

It’s not even playable on Steam Deck either even though there is full controller support so it definitely needs more time in the development oven.

Heart Machine — the developers of Hyper Light Breaker — stated via Discord that a console port of the game “depends on the success with Steam”.

So, if it performs well in the Early Access, boasting a healthy player count, and generating enough revenue, there’s a chance you console owners will get a piece of the Hyper Light Breaker pie.

Additionally, Heart Machine also suggested that there are “plans for console ports & cross-play” meaning if it does get brought over, the player base should remain somewhat strong thanks to cross-play integration.

If all goes to plan with Early Access, we’ll be sure to update this article with any new information from Heart Machine and its plans for the console release so you know if or when to expect it.
