R.E.P.O Console Release Confirmed

*R.E.P.O.*, the chilling co-op horror game that hit the market in February, has captivated over 200,000 PC gamers with its thrilling gameplay. But what about console players? Will they get a chance to experience the frights of *R.E.P.O.*? Here’s what you need to know.

Is R.E.P.O. Coming to Consoles?

Currently, *R.E.P.O.* remains exclusive to PC, and there's no confirmation from the game's developer, semiwork, about a console release. The focus for this small team is squarely on refining the game's multiplayer experience, which has encountered some challenges.

A significant hurdle they're facing involves enhancing the multiplayer mechanics without making *R.E.P.O.* a hotspot for cheating. The developer explains, "The main issue with matchmaking lobbies is hackers. But the issue with an anti-cheat system is that you’re ruining the experience for everyone who has made mods, because mods don’t work with an anti-cheat system. And we don’t want that," according to PCGamer. This issue needs resolution before any consideration of a console port can be entertained.

While other PC-exclusive games like *Mouthwashing* have made the leap to consoles, it's worth noting that *Mouthwashing* is a single-player game, simplifying the porting process. Similarly themed games such as *Lethal Company* and *Content Warning*, which also involve sneaking past monsters, have remained PC-only. Last year, the developers of *Content Warning* hinted at a potential console release but cited technical difficulties. Since then, there's been silence on that front.

In conclusion, the developer of *R.E.P.O.* has not shown interest in bringing the game to consoles, prioritizing instead the refinement of the PC version's multiplayer features.
