Real time strategy (RTS) isn’t the most popular genre right now. But it is far from being dead, as it still has a place in the hearts of many people. So, there are productions like Broken Arrow, which attract tens of thousands of people. Even the Advanced Access of this RTS gathered over 31,000 players on the first day. To the despair of console owners, at this point the game is available only on PC. So, what about the consoles like Xbox Series X/S or PS5?

Broken Arrow – Console (Xbox and PS5) Release Explained

Broken Arrow is currently available on PC, and you can buy it on Steam. The good news is that the game isn’t labelled as early access; so, theoretically, developers don’t have to focus on completing the game. It gives them time to focus on porting BA to other platforms, right? Sadly, it is a little bit complicated.

  1. At this point, there is no information on potential console versions. Steel Balalaika didn’t announce any plans for the release of the game on other platforms. Additionally, looking at the portfolio of the publisher, Slitherine Ltd., it can be quickly noticed that most of their productions are available only on PC.
  2. Broken Arrow is a real-time strategy game. This genre is typically designed to play with mouse and keyboard. Preparing a good RTS port for consoles (with intuitive controller support) is a challenge even for the most experienced developers.

So, I wouldn’t hold my breath waiting for the port. Let’s anticipate future announcements, though, and hope that I am wrong.

Broken Arrow – system requirements on PC

If you have a PC, you can always try playing Broken Arrow using it. Minimal system requirements aren’t that high. So, the game should work even on older computers.
