A surprising piece of news emerged today—an action game from 2017, originally released on PS4, might soon receive a native PS5 version, based on a recent rating board entry. Observant internet users noticed that North America’s ESRB has rated Gang Beasts for PS5. Currently, players can enjoy the game on newer consoles via backwards compatibility.
Will the PS4 game Gang Beasts get a free upgrade for PS5?
Developed by Boneloaf, Gang Beasts is a beat-em-up that features both single-player and multiplayer modes. However, the single-player experience is notably limited since the game is primarily designed for multiplayer fun.
Initially published by Double Fine, Boneloaf acquired the rights to the game in 2020. Upon launch, Gang Beasts received mixed reviews from critics.
It’s unclear how active the online multiplayer community remains. The ESRB rating, spotted via Reddit, came unexpectedly, making this news even more surprising.
If a native PS5 version is released, it might come as a free upgrade for existing owners—though that’s purely speculation at this point.
The game is described as “a goofy multiplayer party title featuring squishy characters, slapstick fight scenes, and crazy hazardous environments set in the wild streets of Beef City.” Players can customize characters and battle against AI or friends locally and online, either in melee or gang mode.
