While FragPunk is now available on PC, many eager console players are curious about the game and whether this unique five-vs-five FPS hero shooter will be on their platform of choice. Steam players seem to be enjoying the title thus far, and gamers on PS5 and Xbox Series X|S can only watch in amazement and wonder what it feels like to play. But is that always going to be the case?

Here’s everything we know about FragPunk console compatibility.

Is FragPunk coming to console?

Yes, FragPunk is set to launch on consoles on April 29 at 9pm CT, according to the announcement by Bad Guitar Studio. This comes nearly two months after its PC debut on Steam and Epic Games on March 6. The console launch is expected to revitalize FragPunk‘s player count, which peaked at over 113,000 on Steam charts last March 9 but has since dwindled to around 12,000 (24-hour peak) at the time of updating this article.

The console version of FragPunk will support both crossplay and cross-progression with the PC version, so players can squad up and play together no matter the platform. To keep things fair, console players will also get “enhanced aim assist,” helping level the playing field between controller and mouse and keyboard users.

Bad Guitar Studio is offering “plenty of gifts” for new console players, including exclusive, time-limited event rewards available from the start of season one until April 29. If you grabbed the Pioneer Bundle on console, you’ll also score some extra bonus rewards on top of that.

If you own a PC as well, you can start practicing ahead of the console release as FragPunk has full controller support for both PlayStation and Xbox controllers. The game feels fluid and fun to play on a controller, so PlayStation and Xbox gamers will surely have a good time when the game launches on their console of choice.

Yes, PS5 is one of FragPunk’s available platforms. You can add the game to your wishlist on the PlayStation Store to stay up to date on its status for PS5.

Is FragPunk coming to Xbox?

Yes, Xbox Series X|S is also one of the platforms where you can play FragPunk. You can wishlist it on the Microsoft Store for Xbox while waiting for it to be available for purchase.

Is FragPunk coming to Nintendo Switch 2?

It’s currently unknown if FragPunk is coming to Nintendo Switch, and Bad Guitar Studio hasn’t made any announcement about it yet. With the console’s upgrades and apparent mouse-like accessibility with the new Joy-Cons, anything is possible.

However, considering that FragPunk is not available on PS4 or Xbox One, which the Nintendo Switch 2’s hardware is apparently comparable to, it’s unlikely to be a game that comes to the latest handheld console hybrid.
