The Sinking City 2 PS5: Edition and Features

Is The Sinking City 2 on PS5?

Yes. The Sinking City 2 launches on PS5 on August 18, 2026, published by Frogwares Ireland Ltd. The PlayStation Store page lists it as a PS5-only title with no PS4 version, and the release date matches the PC and Xbox launch.

The PS5 version costs $49.99 for the Standard Edition, matching the PC price. Pre-orders went live on the PS Store ahead of launch.

PS5 Price and Editions

The PS5 Standard Edition is $49.99. There are three editions on the PlayStation Store:

• •Standard Edition — the base game.
• •Deluxe Edition — base game + Arkham Field Kit.
• •Premium Edition — base game + Arkham Field Kit + The Holloway Manor.

PlayStation Universe and PushSquare both reported the $49.99 price when pre-orders opened. PushSquare noted the price deliberately undercuts the usual $60+ premium horror tier.

DualSense Features

The PS5 version supports the DualSense controller's vibration function and trigger effects. The PlayStation Store listing confirms both features explicitly.

For a survival horror with deliberate shooting, trigger resistance adds real feedback to aiming and firing. It is one of the strongest reasons to pick the PS5 version over PC with a standard controller.

Remote Play

Remote Play is supported on the PS5 version, letting you stream the game to other devices over the network. The store listing confirms Remote Play support.

Note that online features require a PlayStation account, per the standard PlayStation terms. The game itself is single-player.

PS5-Only, No PS4 Version

The game is PS5-only — there is no PS4 version listed on the store. If you are on a PS4, the PC or Xbox Series X|S versions are the alternatives.

The PS5 version takes advantage of the console's hardware and DualSense features. Physical disc availability varies by region (待确认 per region).

Performance on PS5

The PS5 version targets the survival horror experience with performance typical of the platform generation. Community benchmarks of the PC version suggest the game scales well, but official PS5-specific performance numbers (resolution and FPS modes) are 待确认.

If performance modes are announced by Frogwares, this page will be updated. The official store page confirms platform features but does not publish console performance targets.

PS5 vs PC

The $49.99 price is identical on PS5 and PC. The PS5 version adds DualSense features and Remote Play; the PC version adds moddable settings and upscaling options like DLSS 4 and frame generation.

The choice comes down to hardware and preference. If you own a capable PC, the official system requirements are the guide; if you prefer console, the PS5 version is fully featured.

PS5 vs Xbox Series X

Both consoles run the same $49.99 game with the same editions. The PS5 version adds DualSense features and Remote Play, while the Xbox version is confirmed on the Xbox storefront and news channels.

Metacritic at launch showed 84 on Xbox Series X versus 79 on PS5, but reviewers attributed the gap to which critics reviewed which version rather than a quality difference. Platform choice is about features and friends, not performance.

What to Buy at Launch

At launch, the Standard Edition is the safe purchase for most players. The Deluxe and Premium editions add the Arkham Field Kit and The Holloway Manor, but their full contents are 待确认 at the store level.

If you are buying for completion, note that the trophy set is identical across editions — the extras are content bundles, not achievement requirements.

Physical vs Digital

Digital is confirmed on the PlayStation Store with pre-orders available before launch. Physical availability varies by region and is 待确认 per market.

Digital buyers get the game at midnight release timing and can pre-load; physical buyers get a disc and, where offered, standard retail bonuses. Check your regional store for the exact options.
