Mechwarrior 5 Mercenaries Launches On Ps4 And Ps5 This Month

The BattleTech mecha game, already out on PC and Xbox, is the first time MechWarrior will be on a PlayStation console in over 20 years. PlayStation hasn’t had a proper MechWarrior game since MechWarrior 2: 31st Century Combat came out for the PSone in 1997. The PS5 version supports adaptive triggers and advanced haptics with the DualSense controller, senior community manager Daeron Katz wrote in a post on the PlayStation Blog. Katz said the base game “benefits from over a year’s worth of additional development work”. For example, you can now switch between any of the AI Lance BattleMechs during a mission (for the initial release, manual control was limited to the player’s main BattleMech). You can play solo or in four-player PvE, with co-op crossplay enabled. Of note: you can play the entire Heroes of the Inner Sphere campaign as long as the host owns the DLC.
