Will R.E.P.O come to consoles?

The co-op horror game, R.E.P.O., launched in February to phenomenal success, boasting over 200,000 PC players. But will this chilling experience make its way to consoles? Let's dive in.

Will R.E.P.O. Come to Consoles?

Currently, there are no plans for a console release of R.E.P.O., and it may remain a PC exclusive. Developer semiwork hasn't indicated any intention to port the game to consoles. Their current focus is entirely on refining the PC version's multiplayer experience.

This small team is facing a significant hurdle: balancing robust anti-cheat measures with the community's use of modifications. As the developer explained to PCGamer, implementing a strong anti-cheat system would unfortunately break many existing player-created mods, a compromise they're unwilling to make. This challenge must be addressed before any console porting can even be considered.

While some PC-only titles, like Mouthwashing, have successfully transitioned to consoles, it's important to note that Mouthwashing is a single-player game, simplifying the porting process considerably. R.E.P.O.'s predecessors, Lethal Company and Content Warning—similar stealth-horror games—also remain PC exclusives. While console ports were considered for Content Warning last year, technical difficulties ultimately stalled those plans.

Therefore, the short answer is: no confirmed plans for a console release exist. The developer is prioritizing the enhancement and stability of the PC multiplayer experience before exploring other platforms.
