A native PS5 version of the original Kingdom Come: Deliverance appears to be on the way, according to newly updated PS Store pages mentioning the enhanced edition.
On the UK PS Store page for the PS4 version of the RPG, the description now has the following:
The PS5 version of Kingdom Come: Deliverance now features graphical upgrades including 4K resolution, an improved frame rate, high-resolution textures, and much more. Medieval Bohemia has never looked so beautiful.
Warhose Studios hasn't confirmed a PS5 version of the first game is in the works, but it was claimed last year that such a version is on the way by PlayStation Game Size. With the new text string on the PS Store, it appears this new edition is indeed real.
The description suggests the RPG will now run at a 4K resolution and have higher frame rates than the PS4 version, where it runs at 30 frames-per-second. Should the new version be officially confirmed, we'll have an update on the site.
Would you go back to the first Kingdom Come: Deliverance with better visuals and frame rates? Let us know in the comments below.

After losing myself in KCD2 recently, I definitely want to check this out.
If the combat is improved and lockpicking like it sequel..Then yes..
I tried this a while ago and couldn’t get into it, but after seeing so many good things about the second I’m tempted to try again, a ps5 version would definitely make me more interested
Hope its a free upgrade.
I bought this game last month (with all the DLCs) in hopes of a PS5 version and I'm still waiting for it so i can start playing it properly. 30fps with head bobbing made me so nauseous, i can't play the PS4 version
KCD1 was definitely held back by PS4 hardware. . . I remember constantly riding into a textureless Rattay and fields full of flowers only popping in about 10 yards in front of Henry . . . So this will be a nice and much-needed update. Some little convenience features from the sequel (outfit loadouts, weapon switching) would be an amazing bonus.
@DennisReynolds Yeah if it's not a free upgrade that will be kind of an L, but would be ok if it's £10
“the PS4 version, where it runs at 30 frames-per-second“
I don’t think that game hits 30. I hope this is an update and not a new edition to buy. This should be a free update with how poor the game runs. I remember trying it on Extra and the frame rate was so low I immediately stopped after stepping outside the house. I’ll definitely give it another go With this update since I bought the ultimate edition for $10.
@Oram77 @DennisReynolds If it's not free, as long as there's a reasonable upgrade i'm OK with that too.
Dang. I would love to give this game another shot. I tried playing it originally on PC... But that was when the game was a performance hog. I never finished it, only ever made it pass the opening event.
The original on PS4 made my head hurt so hopefully this upgrade is a good improvement.
@themightyant I know it's not going to happened but I would love if they brought the combat improvements from KCD2 to this game, as it's very *rough*at best.
I've been wanting to play KCD1 before diving into 2, so this actually fantastic news!
Considering this game is a 10 for me, even despite lots of bugs and texture issues, of course i'd be interested to see how it looks upgraded on PS5.
But don't be expect it to be as easy and user friendly as KCD2, people. It is supposed to be a gut punch and you have to learn to live with the consequences of how you f***ed up if you weren't paying attention 😁
@Ravix Like failing the cloister mission (if you know you know)
Left Henry at some church in Skallitz and stopped playing after hearing rumours of a PS5 version. Still not done with KCD2 even.
I wonder if Switch 2 will get a version as well. I have the PS4 version on PS5 already but might be interested in Switch 2 one, if it comes out
@Ravix You'd think for how even a single enemy can game over you, Warhorse would reduce enemy awareness like FromSoftware but no, they have the sharpest of senses. I get why some people won't bother, KCD is just brutal especially the first.
Aw crap. Now I have to grind out the King Charming trophy again!
Great news for everyone!
@TheArt Lol why did you leave him at a church, to atone for his sins? Maybe he'll be a new man if you ever decide to return to the game.
Easy mode?? Just want to explore the scenery as it reminds me of England and not have too much stress with it lol real life is stressfull enough eight now 🤣
I hope for a good Switch 2 version. Dozens of hours for a playthrough are easier to integrate into my daily life by using breaks. Turning on the Switch 2 for 5 min of play is a no-brainer.
I hated the first game in 2018, but after spending nearly 200 hours with it's sequel, I think I "get it" now and hopefully will enjoy the first one now. I'm going to wait for the native PS5 version though.
Great news. Great game. I'd love to replay it in 4K 60fps with hardcore mode enabled and negative perks.
Looking forward to learning sword techniques from Bernard again. Then giving him a good hiding every single training session.
I bought it on my PS5 Pro a while ago and it looked pretty decent (edit: actually it looked damn good still).
It wasn't exactly screaming out for a higher frame rate as its a very slow game.
Don't think fans of 2 should be put off of trying the original if there isn't an update.
At the same time it does feel like now would be a good time to release one and exploit the interest that 2 has generated.
