R.E.P.O Console Release: What to Expect

*R.E.P.O.*, the chilling co-op horror game that hit the PC gaming scene in February, has captured the hearts of over 200,000 players. As fans enjoy the thrilling experience on their computers, many are wondering if *R.E.P.O.* will make its way to consoles. Let's dive into what we know.

Is R.E.P.O. Coming to Consoles?

Currently, *R.E.P.O.* remains exclusive to PC, and there's no indication from its developer, semiwork, that a console version is in the works. The team at semiwork is fully focused on refining the game's multiplayer experience, which has encountered some challenges. Specifically, they are tackling the complex issue of enhancing the game's multiplayer mechanics while preventing it from becoming a breeding ground for cheats.

"The main issue with matchmaking lobbies is hackers. But the issue with an anti-cheat system is that you’re ruining the experience for everyone who has made mods, because mods don’t work with an anti-cheat system. And we don’t want that," the developer explained to PCGamer. This concern needs to be addressed before any consideration of a console port can even begin.

While other PC-exclusive games like *Mouthwashing* have successfully transitioned to consoles, it's worth noting that *Mouthwashing* is a single-player game, which simplifies the process. Similarly themed games like *Lethal Company* and *Content Warning*, which involve sneaking past monsters, have also stayed PC-only. Although *Content Warning*'s developers mentioned considering a console release last year, technical difficulties have stalled any progress.

So, to answer the burning question: Will *R.E.P.O.* come to consoles? As it stands, semiwork has not expressed any interest in pursuing a console version and is instead concentrating on perfecting the multiplayer aspects of the PC game.
