March is the month for Disco Elysium: The Final Cut on PlayStation 5 and PS4, but it appears some fans were worried a delay was incoming due to the fact that an exact date hasn't been confirmed yet. Thankfully, developer ZA/UM has nipped this one in the bud by confirming the game will most certainly be out within the next 26 days. Done so on via Disco Elysium's official Discord, which was then posted to Reddit, a member of the team reassured potential buyers by stating the game will be out in March "for sure".
"Mikk" goes on to explain that it takes time to synchronize launches across the various storefronts and cooperate with different platforms. "It takes a while to sync and cooperate with all the different storefronts and platforms so that each and every player gets the same coherent experience we've designed. Just wanted to nip this in the bud as I'm seeing a lot of speculation thrown about. Thanks for hanging in there, we're doing our absolute best to ensure quality."
So, as Take That would say: have a little patience. When games can be announced and then released within the very same week, the fact that Disco Elysium: The Final Cut doesn't have an exact date on PS5 and PS4 just yet isn't something to worry about too much. Between now and then though, you can occupy yourself with the recent Push Square interview with developer ZA/UM. We discuss the porting process that brings Disco Elysium to PS5 and PS4, what the bonus content included in The Final Cut is, and dumb deaths.

Really looking forward to playing this having heard nothing but praise for it.
Doesn't this have a physical release though? I thought it did.
The only thing I've yet to haven't decide is if I should wait for the switch release on the summer. I think this game can shine on a portable.
@Voltan Yes, which is one of the storefronts the quote will be referring to.
@arsmolinarc I’m not sure, I already felt like the game was on too small a screen on my 15” laptop. The art is brilliant and the full voice acting will make playing on a TV a lot more of a viable option.
Do we know if this will offer free upgrade from PS4 to PS5?
@Voltan only on iam8bit but its an expensive collection for $250. That im aware of
@arsmolinarc “ I think this game can shine on a portable.” Any particular reason for thinking this? Personally, that’s the last format I’d pick. There’s an awful lot of reading to done in this game (even when you factor in they’re fully voice acting the new version) that will strain your eyes on a smaller screen. If the controls are going to be similar as Diablo III was on console, movement should be fine at least.
Hope they fixed the Softlock on Day 2 lol. Had to go into the text files on PC to keep playing
@Ben8371 Ah, so no worldwide logistics in advance of the release then. Makes sense, thanks.
A very welcome bit of news! I've heard so many good things about this game, and I love RPG's. Can't wait to try this!
I've heard very little about this game and gonna keep it that way until I dive in myself. Can't wait.
@costa69gr
I have the same question as costa69gr, does anyone know if there is going to be a free upgrade to PS5?
@Worlock_ed Hmmm, you make sme good points @nessisonett mostly the pickup&play factor, like reading through a book in small chunks, but Worlock here is making me question my thinking.
Definitely looking forward to this. Not providing a release date before the game comes out seems like a bold strategy, lets see if it pays off for them
Already bought it for PC but stopped playing once I heard a PS version was incoming (yeah, I would rather have full voice acted lines than read, sue me). Will double dip. This game deserves all the money.
My stupid death in Disco: I kicked a metal cabinet and due to my all-brains-no-brown build for the character, broke my leg, fell, hit my head and died. 😂... this game!
@arsmolinarc I guarantee that small chunks isn't the way to go with this game. You can be having one conversation with someone for about ten minutes, then you've got other people in the same scene to talk to too.
@arsmolinarc Yeah, I detest playing games with a lot of talking or reading on a TV, personally. I find portable systems like the Switch to be much more comfortable when it comes to digesting narrative-heavy experiences like visual novels or most adventure games. And, of course, that version always gives you the option of playing on the TV as well when you like.
If you're unsure, the best thing to do is wait until both are out and compare them. If the Switch release holds up technically and you'll get ANY use out of the hardware versatility, then it's probably the better version to get.
@TheDudeElDuderino The PC version will be upgraded for free with the voice acting and other improvements as well.
Bonus points for the completely unnecessary Take That reference.
Does anyone know what the price point on this is going to be?
...and do we have any verification of a free PS5 upgrade from PS4?
