Dying Light: The Beast Cancelled for PS4 and Xbox One

Techland has canceled the PlayStation 4 and Xbox One versions of Dying Light: The Beast, according to reports from IGN Deutschland, PlayFront, and notebookcheck.com.

Technical Constraints and Platform Removal

The decision to scrap the eighth-generation console versions comes after the title was originally positioned for a wider release. According to IGN Deutschland, the “technical conditions” of the PS4 and Xbox One hardware proved incompatible with the game’s requirements. This move effectively limits the game’s availability to current-gen hardware and PC.

While Techland has not detailed the specific hardware bottlenecks, the company confirmed that the last-gen versions are no longer in development.

Refund Process for Pre-orders

Techland is addressing the impact on players who already committed funds. Reports from PlayFront and notebookcheck.com confirm that the company is paying back PS4 and Xbox One players who pre-ordered the title.

Current Availability of Dying Light: The Beast

The game remains on track for release on modern platforms. According to XboxDynasty and Beyond Pixels, the title will be available on PC, PlayStation 5, and Xbox Series X|S.
