Party Animals is Finally Coming to PS5

Summary

• Party Animals, a chaotic party game featuring 45+ characters and diverse game modes including a new racing game, is coming to PS5.
• A humorous announcement trailer showcases the game's slapstick style, though a release date remains unannounced.
• PlayStation gamers eagerly anticipate Party Animals' arrival, with hopes of it joining the PlayStation Plus lineup.

Party Animals, the wildly popular physics-based brawler, is officially coming to PlayStation 5! Recreate Games' debut title gained significant traction following its Game Pass release, and now, two years after its initial timed console exclusivity, it's finally making its way to PlayStation consoles. More details are expected soon.

Party Animals offers a fresh take on the party game genre, building upon the success of titles like Gang Beasts. Boasting a roster of over 45 playable characters and a variety of maps and modes, including the newly added racing game Nemo Kart, there's plenty of chaotic fun to be had.

The recently released PS5 announcement trailer, while short, perfectly captures the game's zany spirit. The trailer features Nico, Party Animals' mascot, hilariously interacting with a PlayStation 5 and DualSense controllers, showcasing the slapstick humor that defines the game.

Party Animals Drops PS5 Trailer

While the trailer doesn't provide a specific release date, only stating that the game is "coming soon," the existing PlayStation Store listing (created in July 2024) and the game's prior availability on Xbox Series X|S suggests a relatively quick turnaround. The "coming soon" announcement, coupled with recent press, hints at a possible release within the next few months. However, it's important to note that final content and release dates are subject to change.

PlayStation gamers have expressed considerable excitement about Party Animals joining their console's library, with many hoping for its inclusion in the PlayStation Plus catalog. Given its initial Game Pass launch (followed by its removal), a similar timed inclusion in PlayStation Plus seems plausible, offering subscribers a free trial period. Regardless of its PlayStation Plus status, Party Animals is poised to make a significant splash on the PS5.
