The PlayStation 4 and Xbox One releases of Techland’s 2025 survival horror videogame and the third mainline entry in the Dying Light franchise, Dying Light: The Beast, have been canceled due to technical limitations.
On Tuesday, July 14, Techland took to X (formerly Twitter) to confirm that the game will no longer receive PlayStation 4 and Xbox One releases.
They said the following:
Dying Light: The Beast was built from the ground up to take full advantage of current-generation hardware.
Its open world, advanced visuals, and fluid combat and traversal all depend on processing power and memory that previous-generation consoles simply cannot provide. As development progressed, it became clear that bringing the game to those platforms would require compromises that would prevent us from delivering the experience we set out to create.
This was not a matter of choosing to leave those platforms behind. Rather, it reflected the technical realities of development and our commitment to delivering the best possible experience.
We know many of you were looking forward to playing on PS4 or Xbox One, and we are truly sorry for the disappointment this causes. Anyone who was expecting to play on either platform will be eligible for a refund.
Thank you for your understanding and continued support.
Dying Light: The Beast is currently available on PC, PS5, Xbox Series X | S and GeForce Now.
