The long-awaited drop is finally here. After years of PC-exclusive survival, ICARUS: Console Edition is officially making its planetary debut.

Whether you’re a veteran prospector or a first-time survivor, here is everything you need to know about the jump to PlayStation and Xbox.

The Launch Details

• Release Date: February 26, 2026.
• Platforms: PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X|S.
• The Content: This isn’t just a port of the 2021 base game. The Console Edition includes the New Frontiers expansion from day one, giving you access to the massive, alien-infested region of Prometheus.

What to Expect on Icarus

If you’re new to the lore, Icarus is a session-based PvE survival game from the creator of DayZ. You are a prospector dropping onto a broken planet where terraforming went catastrophically wrong.

• Hostile Environments: From toxic atmosphere to flash storms and “flesh-eating” wildlife, the planet wants you dead.
• The Mission: Land, complete your objective (or just build a massive base), mine for rare Exotics, and get back to orbit before your timer runs out.
• Progression: Use your hard-earned Exotics in the Orbital Workshop to buy permanent high-tech gear for your next drop.

Console-Specific Features

• Optimised Performance: Expect 4K resolution and 60 FPS on the latest hardware.
• Multiplayer: Team up with up to 4 players in online co-op.
• No Cross-play: Take note—cross-play is not supported between PC and consoles, nor between PS5 and Xbox. You’ll need to be on the same platform as your squad.
• Pre-order Bonus: Grabbing the game early unlocks the Pet Companions Pack, which adds 11 domestic animals (cats, dogs, and horses) to help keep you sane in the wilderness.

Pro Tip: If you’re playing solo, make sure to invest in the Solo Talent Tree. It provides massive buffs to health and harvesting speed that are disabled when playing in a group, making the “lone wolf” life much more viable.
