Don't forget, the free next-gen upgrade isn't available for physical versions of the game if you move onto the Xbox Series S or the PS5 Digital Edition. The next-gen upgrade means if you build a park and share it to the workshop, and then move on to the next-gen console, you can carry on with that same park from the workshop. Console players will still be able to use mouse and keyboard. The Grid Building Mode is also new, giving more control on spacing when building. Planet Coaster: Console Edition has 'been designed with couch gaming in mind,' says Frontier's Philippa Moore, 'so we've re-designed the interfaces and the UIs, so it's bigger, clearer to read, easier to see from your sofa.' There's also a new control scheme, new 'forward-facing blueprints,' and a help panel. Career mode now has full voiceovers, and challenge mode has new difficulty settings for a total of four difficulty modes. New tutorial levels with new characters have been added to the console edition to guide you through the essentials, and then you can go on to play career mode, sandbox mode, or challenge mode. There’s still some work to be done in refining the controls, but this is more than a quick port that reconsiders how to present the challenges of park management to players and gives more and new options for how you can build the theme park of your dreams.The news comes alongside the second dev diary for the console edition of Planet Coaster, which runs through ways to play the game. “It’s been far too long coming, but Planet Coaster: Console Edition does a great job of bringing the charms of theme park management from PC to console. In our Planet Coaster: Console Edition preview I wrote: We went hands on with Frontier Developments’ console-bound rollercoaster management sim a little while ago, finding a chilled and fairly intuitive translation of one of the company’s biggest hits. It should probably go without saying at this point that if you buy the game no disc, you’ll need a disc-based next-gen console and to have the disc in the drive to be able to play. We’ll be discussing more about the Frontier Workshop in the next few weeks. While save data is not transferable between PlayStation 4 and PlayStation 5, PlayStation players will be able to bring their creations with them by uploading them to the Frontier Workshop and then downloading them again in their next-gen park. We’re also happy to share more information on how save games will work for both platforms! For those playing on Xbox, all progress can be carried over from current to next-gen. Update: Frontier have explained the save sitaution as follows:
