Tekken 8 is one of the most anticipated fighting games to come out in 2024. We are also very excited to see what this game will bring to the table. We know that you may have so many questions, so in this article, we are going to clear up all your questions regarding Tekken 8 on PlayStation.
Before we start, it is important to highlight that Tekken 8 is not a PlayStation-exclusive game. This means that the game is released on multiple platforms. Though some console wars are going on between Microsoft and Sony, cross-platform and cross-play are still available.
Is Tekken 8 on PlayStation 4?
Unfortunately, Tekken 8 will not be released for PlayStation 4. Though its predecessor, Tekken 7, was released for previous generations of consoles, such as PlayStation 4 and Xbox One, Tekken 8 will only be released for the next-gen consoles.
Some fans believe that although Tekken 8 not being released on PlayStation 4 is not a financially smart decision (Since PlayStation 4 is still very popular among gamers), others believe that the system requirements of this game necessitate such a decision.
Indeed, the official website states that all the character models are created in a “High fidelity” fashion. We believe that such features can only be supported on the next generation of consoles.
However, suppose you are craving a classic Tekken game to play on your previous console. In that case, we recommend you check out Tekken 7. Although you will miss out on the newest story mode, we are sure that the gameplay will still satisfy you. After all, Tekken is a classic now — no matter what year it is, we know that it is going to be fun.
If you are still hoping to get Tekken 8 on PlayStation 4, there is no information at all about the game being released on previous-gen consoles.
Is Tekken 8 on PlayStation 5?
Yes, Tekken 8 will be available for PlayStation 5. The game is going to be released on PC, PlayStation 5, and Xbox Series X|S. In other words, all the next-gen consoles plus PC.
Powered by Unreal Engine 5, Tekken 8 will reportedly feature “High-definition character models (…) with high-fidelity skin, hair, and muscles that flex realistically”. This means that Tekken 8 on PlayStation 5 will be a delight to our eyes. So, if you are looking for realism, Tekken 8 will probably satisfy you.
If you were planning on having fun with your friends on your PS5 but had no idea what to play with them, here is an option for you. Gather all your friends, connect your controllers, and battle it out in the wonderful world of Tekken 8. You can try out the new characters or pick your classic favourites — we are sure that both will be very fun to play.
Tekken 8 will be released simultaneously all over the world on January 26. As one of the best games of January 2024, we can’t wait to play it. After Mortal Kombat 1 and Street Fighter 6, it’s time for the first three-dimensional fighting series.
