PlayStation is no stranger to management sims. Back on PS1, we were playing the likes of Theme Park and Theme Hospital, and Two Point Hospital is proof the genre still works a treat on consoles. Planet Coaster is the latest tycoon game heading to Sony's systems, with the Console Edition riding onto both PS5 and PS4 this holiday.
A brand new trailer has just been released, and it gives us our first look at what to expect from this version of the game. This highly acclaimed title is a modern take on the likes of Rollercoaster Tycoon. You're tasked with building an amusement park from scratch, and that means constructing rides, opening restaurants, and hiring staff to keep everything ticking along. Then you just sit back and watch the numbers rise -- unless something goes wrong.
Frontier Developments has also released a few screenshots from the console edition, showing how you'll navigate the game with a DualShock 4 or DualSense controller:
As we said, Planet Coaster: Console Edition is out at the end of this year. Will you be playing on PS5 or PS4? You must be this tall to enter the comments section below.

WOW, IF it is like Theme Park/ Rollercoaster Tycoon then thats a game I would buy (Not showing my age at all LOL)
I’m buying the ps5 version assuming there will be a custom creation share option like on pc and most if not all dlc will be included.
One of my most anticipated games! Grew up playing Theme Park as a kid and there has been a lack of amusement park simulation games the past 20 years.
Cant wait for this tbh was obsessed with all the original Rollercoaster Tycoon games growing up, be nice if they offered a free PS5 upgrade if you buy on PS4, otherwise its a PS5 buy, cos it can even push some top tier PCs to its limit.
I hope it's a complete package and that they don't nickle and dime us for the really cool stuff afterwards.
Really wish they stuck with the ps4 summer release...i would have double dipped.
Are there any similar good games already on ps4? Wouldn't mind a theme park sim
I used to love Theme Park World, Zoo Tycoon and games like this. Just can't get into them at all now
@BNAG_Gamer The PC version is a great game and better than anything that’s come out since RCT2.
So excited for this!
Grew up on Theme Park World and RCT 1-3, so this is an instant purchase for me.
Will definitely be choosing the PS5 version. I'm under the assumption that the SSD will really help out.
@BNAG_Gamer
If I remember correctly, it's made by the same people that made Rollercoaster Tycoon 1 and 2. They had nothing to do with any of the sequals after part 2 (which all sucked). So this is in fact the true sequal to Rollercoaster Tycoon 1 and 2, only with a different name.
@ThaBEN that's exactly right.
Game will also have keyboard and mouse support on console.
Personally asked it.
And they said yes.
Definitely hope against all odds there's a VR add-on where you can ride the coasters you build, even though that's probably not logistically possible. But it'd be awesome!
@darksoul77 well....... There dlcs
