Dying Light: The Beast will not release on PlayStation 4 and Xbox One, a decision developer Techland made after what the studio described as careful consideration during development.

The studio clarified that this was not a decision to abandon those platforms by choice, but a result of technical limitations tied to the hardware itself.

The developer acknowledged that many players had been looking forward to playing the game on PS4 or Xbox One and apologized for the disappointment this decision may cause. Players who had planned to purchase or play the game on either platform will be eligible for a refund.
