Sniper Ghost Warrior Contracts 2 delays the PlayStation 5 version of the game

CI Games have revealed that when Sniper Ghost Warrior Contracts 2 is released on June 4th, the PlayStation 5 version of the game won’t be released with it, due to a last minute technical issue. The game will still release on PC, Xbox Series X|S, Xbox One and PlayStation 4 on that planned date.

Those who want to play it on their PlayStation 5, can use the PlayStation 4 version and upgrade to the next-gen version when it is released, there just won’t be 4K graphics and all the other bells and whistles.

“We could not have foreseen these issues. However, we would like to assure our players that our highly experienced, professional and dedicated team are working hard with the platform holder and engine provider to resolve the problems as soon as feasibly possible, to ensure we can bring the PS5 community the high calibre sniping game they have been waiting for. We will offer a free digital upgrade to the PS5 version with all physical and digital purchases of the PS4 release.” - Tobias Heussner, EP, CI Games

As a gesture of goodwill in light of this news, CI Games has made the decision to provide the first major DLC release (a new and extensive map complete with brand new contracts) free of charge to the entire player base across all versions, including PS5, PS4, Xbox Series X|S, Xbox One and PC. It is currently in development, with more news on the DLC release coming soon.
