7 Days to Die Is Finally Coming to Current-Gen Consoles
7 Days to Die is a game that’s been around for quite a while. More than a decade, to be precise. It first came out in early access back in 2013 for PC. The game is a mix of survival horror, with tower defense and RPG elements, set in a post-apocalyptic world overrun by zombies. Players have to scavenge for resources, build shelters, and survive against waves of undead enemies.

The game first came to consoles in 2016, but the console version didn’t keep up with the PC version and was critically panned. There were lots of bugs and glitches, and the updates were slow, which made fans pretty frustrated.
Players on Xbox One and Playstation 4 felt left out since they weren’t getting the same experience as PC players and were really lacking polish. The developers, The Fun Pimps, promised that they would work on getting the console version up to speed, but it took a long time for any real progress to be seen.
In late 2022, it was announced that the game would be coming to current-gen consoles like Playstation 5 and Xbox Series X/S. This news was met with excitement, but also skepticism because of the long history of delays and issues with the console versions, and also since the studio is rather small with limited resources.
What to Expect From the Next-Gen Versions of the Game
The new update for 7 Days to Die promises to bring a lot of improvements. Players can expect better graphics with higher resolutions, better lighting, better textures, consistent 60fps, faster load times, and more stable gameplay.
The developers have also been working on adding new content and features that weren’t available in the previous console versions. This means that console players will finally be able to experience the game as it was meant to be played, with all the updates and improvements that PC players have been enjoying.
The update will also include all the previous patches and updates that have been released for the PC version, so console players will finally be on the same level as their PC counterparts.
The release of the game on Playstation 5 and Xbox Series X/S is a huge milestone for the game and its community. The developers have shown that they are committed to supporting and improving the game in the long run, and are making sure that all players have a great experience, regardless of the platform they are on.
