More On: Biomutant

I enjoyed Biomutant and it's one I've been meaning to get back to finish up the Platinum for a while now. Well, it looks like I'll soon have the option to do that with a native PS5 version boasting "ultra-fast loading times, native 4k resolution, HDR support, and up to 60 FPS." Yup, Biomutant is joining the ranks of next-gen updated games on September 6th for PS5 and Xbox Series X|S. Best news of all, while the native version will retail for $40, anyone who owned the last-ten version of the game will get the upgrade for free. 

Details from the press release:

PlayStation®5 technical details:
Choose between three different graphic modes
• Quality: 30 fps @ 4k resolution
• Quality Unleashed: 40+ fps, averaging 50-60 fps, up to 4k resolution
• Performance: 60 fps locked @ 1440p

Biomutant on the PS5™ unleashes not only framerates but also the power of the DualSense™. Feel even more immersed with haptic feedback, adaptive triggers, motion control, and speaker sound. On top of that the PlayStation-exclusive Activity Cards will also offer a variety of different ways to jump straight back into Biomutant. If you already own the PlayStation®4 version, you will be able to upgrade to this enhanced version for free and you can even bring those delicious PS4 save files with you!

If that's not a reason to jump back in for more wung-fu I don't know what is...
