Is Perfect Dark coming to PS5? The classic Rare franchise is officially being rebooted for the Xbox Series X, having not been seen since the Xbox 360 days. Needless to say, it’s a pretty big deal; the original Perfect Dark on the Nintendo 64 is a stone-cold classic, and folk have been crying out for a revival for years. But is a Perfect Dark PS5 release on the cards?

Perfect Dark PS5 – Is It Happening?
Unfortunately, the chances of a Perfect Dark PS5 release are slim to none. The Perfect Dark reboot is being developed by The Initiative, the new first-party Microsoft studio based in California that has up until now remained quiet on what it’s working on. Well, now we know!
Due to it being a Microsoft-owned property, Perfect Dark will not be coming to any other platform besides the Xbox Series X/S.
What Is Perfect Dark?
Perfect Dark is a brand new entry in the much-loved franchise that started out with the N64 original by Rare. Not much is known on the game yet, but here’s the official blurb that accompanied the game’s announcement at The Game Awards 2020 last night:
With Perfect Dark, we’re aiming to deliver a secret agent thriller set in a near-future world.
We have built the Perfect Dark team at The Initiative by bringing in some of the most talented game makers from around the industry who all share a passion for storytelling, world-building and creating memorable game experiences. With the full backing from Xbox Studios to re-imagine one of the best loved IPs from gaming history, we couldn’t be more excited to share some of our early ideas.
