From drawing board to open ocean, from dry dock to distant horizon. Publisher Samustai and developer GameLabs are proud to announce that Ultimate Admiral: Dreadnoughts — the acclaimed naval strategy masterpiece where you design your own warships and lead them into history — has officially launched on PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X|S.
Your Ship, Your Vision, Your Legacy
Spanning the dawn of the steel dreadnought era in 1890 through to the final days of the big-gun battleship in 1950, this is more than a wargame — it’s a shipbuilder’s dream. Every plate, turret, engine, and armour belt is yours to place. Recreate legendary vessels like the HMS Dreadnought, the Bismarck, and the Yamato — or pioneer wild, never-built designs that might have ruled the waves if history had turned differently.
- Deep, detailed ship design — balance speed, protection, firepower, and cost. Every decision shapes how your fleet fights and survives
- Historic campaigns — command ten major naval powers across decades of technological evolution, from pre-dreadnought cruisers to supercarriers and fast battleships
- Tactical real-time combat — manoeuvre for the crossing T, rain fire from range, close with torpedoes, and protect your capital ships at all costs
- Strategic layer — manage economies, research technologies, secure trade routes, and launch blockades to strangle enemy supply lines
Built For Consoles — Polished, Optimised, Refined
This isn’t a simple port — Samustai has rebuilt the experience from the keel up for gamepad play, with sweeping improvements across the board:
- Fully redesigned controller interface — fluid fleet selection, intuitive ship design, and smooth command without mouse and keyboard
- Enhanced water & visual effects — rebuilt rendering for more immersive seas, smoke, and battle damage
- Performance optimisations — smoother frame rates even in massive fleet engagements
- DIP Classic 1.3.3 integration — rebalanced artillery, armour penetration, torpedoes, AI, and campaign economics for deeper, more authentic challenge. Prefer the original rules? Toggle the mod off instantly and play vanilla
- Xbox Play Anywhere support — buy once on Xbox and enjoy it across console and Windows PC
