Crusader Kings 3 is finally coming to consoles, the first title in the series. It’s going to be available on PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X/S.
The Crusader Kings franchise has long been appreciated by a lot of gamers due to the deep strategy. The first in the franchise was released back in 2004, while the Crusader Kings 3 was launched in September 2020
The console version is being developed by Paradox Interactive in partnership with Lab42. In a post, Paradox shared that what made this move possible was the success of Stellaris being ported to consoles.
One of the things that console players can expect is the new gamepad support for console controllers developed from scratch. The game’s console version is also expected to make full use of what the next-gen consoles can offer like fast loading time.
PS5 players should be able to have an immersive experience with the DualSense controllers. Xbox players, meanwhile, can switch from playing the game to learning how to play it through YouTube tutorials.

- Character Focused Gameplay
