Warhammer 40,000: Darktide Set to Launch on PS5 with Exclusive Editions and Enhanced Features

The arrival of Warhammer 40,000: Darktide on PlayStation 5 marks a significant milestone for fans eagerly awaiting its release. Originally launched on PC over two years ago and following a year later on Xbox consoles, this cooperative horde survival game is set to make its PS5 debut on December 3. Alongside its launch, players can take advantage of pre-order options, including standard and premium editions.

Pre-orders for the game are now open, featuring two distinct editions. The standard version is priced at $39.99 / £32.99, while the more elaborate Imperial Edition is available for $59.99 / £49.99. This premium edition boasts additional content, comprising the Loyalist Pack that introduces four unique class outfits and eight weapon skin patterns. Additionally, it offers the Mortis Veteran Portrait Frame, the Caducadas Backpack, and 2,500 Aquilas, the in-game currency. Early access for those who opt for the Imperial Edition allows play six days ahead of the official release.

Upon launching, the PS5 version will incorporate all significant updates and advancements that have been introduced in earlier iterations since the game first debuted. Players will instantly benefit from the extensive 'Unlocked and Loaded' update, which revamped the weapon progression systems significantly.

Game enthusiasts can also look forward to enhanced features on the DualSense Wireless Controller, including vibration and adaptive trigger effects. Although specifics are limited, it has been indicated that the game will have enhancements for the PlayStation 5 Pro. Reports suggest that this upgraded version will be able to run in stunning 4K at 60 frames per second. For standard PS5 users, two gameplay modes will be accessible: a Performance Mode that targets 1440p at 60fps and a Quality Mode that maintains 4K at 30fps.
