After arriving on Xbox One and Nintendo Switch a couple of years back, New Super Lucky's Tale will finally launch on PlayStation 4 next month. Playful Studios has attached a release date of 21st August 2020 to this expanded re-release of an experience which actually started out as a VR title all the way back in 2016. It has had quite the journey since then, but now PS4 players can finally get their hands on it.
Back when it came to Switch, our buddies over at Nintendo Life awarded it a respectable 8/10. "New Super Lucky’s Tale is a solid port of an underrated platformer with a greatly improved camera. It's a little on the short side and may not provide much of a challenge to more hardened gamers – and if you already own it on Xbox One there really isn't enough new here to warrant a second purchase – but what makes it worth a look is its uncanny ability to make you smile, and this is something that can't be overlooked, especially in modern times."
Is New Super Lucky's Tale you've been waiting to play on PS4? Let us know in the comments below.

I rather have ori, already have it on pc and switch but I'll buy ori again on ps4 😃
Interested enough based on the Switch demo to get it once on sale. Nothing groundbreaking but pretty fun.
I always have a soft spot for 3D platformers, so looking forward to it.
Is this a tactic from Microsoft in the hope that if they start releasing their games on other platforms they'll return the favor, or is it due to the low player base on Xbox they haven't had the sales numbers the expected?
Its all good Sony is making money on every copy sold on its console.
@swagbag713 It's published by Xbox Games Studio's.
Another Xbox game? This seems very odd all of a sudden.
Over on Twitter I saw a good few Xbox fans very upset about the Cuphead news and proceeded to start ranting about "God of War and Spider-Man on Xbox when?"
I get that they want something in return but Cuphead isn't anywhere near worth the caliber of those games in return.
Besides it was a "third party exclusive" and they've already had some of our "third party exclusives" in the form of the Yakuza and Kingdom Hearts franchises.
C'mon, that's just like Tails (with one tail, though).
Played it on the Switch for a few hours, it's just all around below average, I wouldn't recommend it at all.
@swagbag713 ahh yeah you might be right, I thought it must have been partly funded by Xbox to get the exclusivity initially, it's also odd that a small developer then becomes its own publisher. It's not something you ever really hear of.
Either way it's good it's actually coming to PlayStation.
I'm looking forward to this! I enjoy slaughtering Mongols or hunting the person that brutally murdered my father figure as much as the next guy, but It's nice to play a light hearted game every now and then!
I'm honestly happy seeing this getting ported over.
It's one of the very few xbox games over the years that I like the look of.
@thiz Or you're past the petty discussion of which piece of plastic sold better and just want to put the indie games you helped fund in people's hands.
@thiz I'm sure Microsoft has plenty of success with software sales between Xbox and PC. I wasn't seeing it as a childlike dream as you seem to interpret. It's quite simple, their hardware is doing well enough, and they want to capitalize on their games, Need I remind you, Sony is doing the same,
@GADG3Tx87 Jim Ryan on Twitter. "never" i would like that.
