The Planet Crafter Hits PS5 & Xbox With 8-Player Co-Op
The Planet Crafter has officially launched on PS5 and Xbox Series X|S, bringing eight-player co-op and a day-one Game Pass release to consoles.
Ever dreamed of turning a dead, dusty rock into a lush, breathable world? Well, now you can do it with up to seven friends, because The Planet Crafter has officially landed on PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X|S.
That's right, Miju Games' hugely successful open-world terraforming adventure has made the jump to consoles for the very first time. The console version is available right now as of July 21, so there's no waiting around if you've been curious about this one.
If you're a fan of games like Satisfactory, this is genuinely great news. The Planet Crafter takes that same satisfying loop of building, gathering, and watching your creation grow, but wraps it in a survival setup where the entire point is making an inhospitable planet livable. You start with basically nothing, and through crafting and careful planning, you slowly transform the environment around you.
And here's the best part for anyone who loves playing with friends: the console release supports eight-player co-op. That means you and a whole crew of buddies can team up to terraform your own little corner of space together. Whether you split up the chores or just chaos-build side by side, the option is there.
On top of that, the game has launched directly into Game Pass. So if you're already subscribed, you can jump in without spending a penny extra. That's a pretty tempting way to check out a title that's already built a strong reputation on PC.
For console players who've been watching this one from the sidelines, this is your moment. The Planet Crafter blends survival, base building, and that addictive sense of progress where every small change you make visibly reshapes the world. It's the kind of game that can eat up hours before you even realize it.
So, will you be picking this up on PS5 or Xbox? And more importantly, who are you roping into your eight-player terraforming squad?
