Good news for players of next-gen consoles. You now have a chance to see if you have what it takes to build your very own dynasty. That’s because Crusader Kings 3 is now available on PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X/S.
In the game, players get to lead a royal family through the centuries, controlling characters and their heirs as they try to establish and protect their claims to land, titles, and of course, glory. There are different ways to win the game, and it all depends on how players react to the situation.
Next-Gen Features
The console version features an adapted interface along with a control scheme tailored to larger screens and console gamepads. It also uses what next-gen consoles can offer, such as Haptic and Adaptive Trigger controller feedback and fast load times. For the Xbox Series X/S, players can switch between gameplay and other applications.
Meanwhile, PlayStation 5 users can experience the game’s stress mechanics themselves, especially as the DualSense controllers physically react to in-game events as they unfold. The more stress a character has accrued, the more resistance is applied to the DualSense controller’s Adaptive Triggers. The PS5’s Activities and Game Help also provide a platform to assist new players as they take their first steps in the world of Crusader Kings.
