DC Universe Online is Launching to PS5 and Xbox Series X

It’s like giving your hero of choice a significant upgrade. Imagine driving through Metropolis or Gotham City with the performance and graphics turned up to 11. Senior community manager Ted Stone stated the details: you can expect gameplay improvements and quality-of-life changes that are suitable with the new hardware. It’s a complete makeover rather than just a facelift.

This project is a long-term performance that has already started. Some of these improvements will be introduced in the coming months prior to the new consoles’ release, while others will be introduced at launch and the rest will be introduced over the course of the coming year. A later update containing more details will be available, so stay tuned.

While all eyes are on Series X, what about Series S? It’s like the awkward kid at the party; everyone wonders if they’re both invited. It’s a little perplexing that the announcement didn’t call attention to the little wonder since Series X titles typically run on Series S.

DC Universe Online exploded onto the scene back in 2011, making a grand entrance on PS3 and PC. Fast forward to today, and it’s graced the PS4 (2013), Xbox One (2016), and even the Nintendo Switch (2019). It’s like a time capsule of gaming history, filled with heroic deeds and epic battles.

As the game spreads its wings for the console upgrade, a bonus surprise awaits. The 46th episode is gearing up for launch, and guess what? You can dive into all the previous episodes absolutely free. Now, I won’t lie – there’s a monthly subscription fee to consider, but think of it as your ticket to a gaming universe packed with action, adventure, and heroic camaraderie.

DC Universe Online was initially released on PS3 and PC in January 2011. When the PS4 console debuted in 2013, it received a PS4 version. The Xbox One and Nintendo Switch versions then followed in 2016 and 2019.

The game’s 46th episode will debut in October, but all previous episodes are already available without charge. However, the game also offers in-game purchases and a monthly subscription fee.
