Coffee Stain’s sprawling factory builder Satisfactory has made its console debut on PS5 and Xbox Series X|S. After years of PC tinkering and a 1.0 launch in 2024, the conveyor-belt classic is finally playable from the couch, with the same build-plan freedom and late-game logistics that turned it into a cult obsession.
Console players are getting the full co-op loop, online for up to four, plus PS5 Pro Enhanced support, and the standard DualSense vibration perks. Pricing is set at $39.99 for both versions.
If you’ve only watched the PC megabases from afar, the pitch remains delightfully simple: explore an alien world, mine it dry, and scale your production chains higher and higher in service of FICSIT’s space elevator.
Crucially, the console versions aren’t a “lite” edition, they’re built to preserve Satisfactory’s sandbox sprawl and share the same core systems that make its mid-to-late game so absorbing. That includes the pain-and-pleasure of optimizing layouts, balancing bottlenecks, and re-architecting entire facilities when a single new material throws your ratios off. For a genre that usually lives at a desk, having that loop on the big screen (with gamepad in hand) is the appeal.
Bottom line: Satisfactory on PS5 and Series X|S turns a legendary PC time sink into a living-room ritual. If performance holds and pad controls feel right, it could be your next timesink.
