Releasing Killsquad as a PlayStation console exclusive game “was a natural step,” says the developer. – That’s Gaming

Four years after its original launch for PC, Novarama’s co-op twin stick RPG shooter Killsquad is now available on PlayStation consoles. Given how long it takes after the original release of a console port, many would have assumed that the developer would choose to bring it to as many platforms as possible – so why is there no Xbox version of Killsquad?

In a recent interview, we posed the question to game director Daniel Sanchez-Crespo, who said that given Novarama’s history of working as a PlayStation-exclusive studio, it felt “natural” to follow the same path with Killsquad. Novarama, of course, has released several Invizimals titles exclusively for PlayStation platforms over the years.

“Our studio has worked as a Sony-exclusive studio for 10 years, so for us making a PlayStation version was a natural step,” he said.

And how exactly does Killsquad take advantage of the PS5’s hardware, especially considering it is, after all, a four-year-old game? In addition to running at a locked 60 FPS, Sanchez-Crespo told us that the console’s SSD makes for faster load times.

“With the SSD, players can enjoy faster load times, which is very noticeable on a graphics-intensive game like Killsquad, with a lot of characters on screen,” he said.

Killsquad is now available for PS5, PS4 and PC.
