Techland has announced Dying Light: The Beast for the PlayStation 4 and Xbox one have been cancelled.
"After careful consideration, we have made the difficult decision that Dying Light: The Beast will no longer be released on PlayStation 4 and Xbox One," said Techland.
"Dying Light: The Beast was built from the ground up to take full advantage of current-generation hardware. Its open world, advanced visuals, and fluid combat and traversal all depend on processing power and memory that previous-generation consoles simply cannot provide. As development progressed, it became clear that bringing the game to those platforms would require compromises that would prevent us from delivering the experience we set out to create.
"This was not a matter of choosing to leave those platforms behind. Rather, it reflected the technical realities of development and our commitment to delivering the best possible experience.
"We know many of you were looking forward to playing on PS4 or Xbox One, and we are truly sorry for the disappointment this causes. Anyone who was expecting to play on either platform will be eligible for a refund. Thank you for your understanding and continued support."
Dying Light: The Beast released for the PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X|S, and PC in September 2025.

Makes sense really. It seems pretty heavy even on current gen systems. Reminds me a bit of Mortal Kombat X not making it onto the PS3.
Seems smart.... if your not confident you can port it without too much work or harm done to the core of it..
Why waste the effort.
I didnt even know that they work on PS4 and One version of this game. Either way good decision. There is no way this can work on base gen 8 consoles without making game look like how Ark looked when it was released on Switch.
No big surprise.
At least small sadness.
We're 6 years into the life of the PS5. Why are they still making games for the PS4?
