11 bit Studios has announced that their frosty city-builder Frostpunk is heading to PS4 and Xbox One on October 11, 2019. Players will be able to experience the complete game with all features on their favorite console as they try to expand their city and society in this steampunk city builder game. The game was earlier available on PC where the game is sitting on a very strong critic score.
The consoles versions will come with specific UI changes and additions which will make it easy for players to play the game and use different commands using a controller. The biggest challenge while playing such city-builders on PC is the lack of mouse support however since both PS4 and Xbox One support mouse, even if players want to play with a controller, the game will be convenient for players to understand the game.

Jakub Stokalski, Senior Lead Designer Frostpunk, commented:
From day one we knew we wanted to bring Frostpunk to consoles. At the same time, we didn’t want it to be just a port. We wanted Frostpunk to feel like a native console experience, so we redesigned pretty much every game element to work intuitively with a gamepad.
Among the new, console-specific UI changes we have an express menu for quick access to most common building actions, easy to use choice-wheels, top-down view for precise building placement, upscaled icons, and much more. We truly believe it will become a new benchmark for the genre on Xbox One and PlayStation 4.
Frostpunk will arrive digitally on Xbox One and PS4 on October 11, 2019, for $29.99. A physical release is also planned for both Xbox One and PS4 from Merge Games and will be released on October 22, 2019, for $34.99.
