Mistfall Hunter on PS5

Last updated: August 6, 2026

Quick answer: Yes — Mistfall Hunter is available now on PlayStation 5, including PS5 Pro. The extraction ARPG from Bellring Games and Skystone Games launched on July 29, 2026 (6:00 PM PT) alongside PC and Xbox for $24.99 (Standard) or $39.99 (Deluxe). It offers Quality and Performance modes, full crossplay, and requires PlayStation Plus for online play.

Price and Editions on PS5

The US PlayStation Store sells the game as a paid title — it is not free-to-play and is not included with PS Plus at launch:

  • Standard Edition — $24.99 (shown at $22.49 with the launch 10% discount, valid until August 12, 2026). On the PS Store the deal is tagged “Save 10% with PlayStationPlus”.
  • Deluxe Edition — $39.99, including the base game plus exclusive cosmetics (the Forsaken Skeleton outfit, Shipwreck Coast background, Web of Fate earrings, Justice pose, Pip’s Daily Life emotes, the Dew avatar and Light Feather avatar frame) and 2,500 Fate Coins, the premium currency used for in-game cosmetic purchases.

A PS Store-specific quirk: unlike Steam and the Xbox Store (which both apply the 10% discount to the Deluxe edition), the US PlayStation Store showed the Deluxe card at its full $39.99 with no active discount when checked in early August 2026. If you plan to buy the Deluxe edition on PS5, confirm the price on your region’s storefront before checkout. Standard Edition buyers can upgrade to Deluxe at any time to unlock the same bonus content, per Insider Gaming — so there is no rush if you start with the base game.

There is no PS4 version — Mistfall Hunter is listed for PS5 only, and it carries the PS5 Pro Enhanced badge. For the full cross-platform price breakdown, see the Mistfall Hunter price guide.

PS5 and PS5 Pro Features

The PlayStation Store page carries the PS5 Pro Enhanced badge. In an interview with GamingBolt, Bellring Games described what that means in practice:

  • PS5 Pro gets “the most refined console version” of the game — the extra GPU headroom allows higher rendering resolutions, more stable frame rates, and sharper image quality through enhanced upscaling.
  • Quality and Performance modes are both available on PS5 and PS5 Pro, letting players choose between higher fidelity and higher frame rates. Exact resolution and frame-rate targets for consoles have not been published so far.
  • DualSense haptics and adaptive triggers are not implemented at launch, but the developer said they are planned to roll out in future updates, describing melee impacts, parries, and extraction moments as “exactly the kind of thing that deserves to be felt in your hands.” (The store listing carries the standard DualSense vibration/trigger capability tags.)

The only concrete PS5 Pro figures come from pre-release footage rather than official specs. A June 2026 open-beta gameplay video from the channel Skycaptin5 showed the PS5 Pro running Performance mode at roughly 60fps, with the image temporally upscaled to 4K from a higher internal resolution than the base PS5, plus a Quality/Graphics mode that also appeared to target 60fps with higher visual fidelity. Treat that as an observed data point from a beta build, not a confirmed target — Bellring has never published console resolution or frame-rate numbers.

Performance on PS5: Player Reports and Patches

Because the developer has not published console specs, the practical picture comes from launch-window player reports and the official patch history:

  • PS5 Pro stutters in heavy fights. On Reddit’s r/MistfallHunter, a PS5 Pro player wrote that the frame-rate mode “wildly dips to the point it can be unplayable at times,” describing “so much stuttering and freezing” specifically in Trios. Another thread noted the game “should be 60fps locked” in frame-rate mode and reported it barely holding 60 in performance.
  • Base PS5 can hold 60 in frame-rate priority. Some base PS5 owners in player communities report a stable capped 60 when prioritizing frame rate, though others echo the same stutter complaints the game drew across every platform.
  • Launch-window console bugs. Bellring’s published launch known-issues list flagged a PS5 deck-screen display anomaly (fixed by restarting), console reconnection failures after disconnects, a controller-triggered crash on the seasonal leaderboard screen, and equipment-unequip issues with a controller. Community coverage (GamerFuzion) advised controller players to avoid opening the seasonal leaderboard until patched.
  • The first patch is out. The July 30, 2026 (16:00 UTC) launch client update fixed the console reconnection failures, the PS5 deck-screen anomaly, the controller leaderboard crash, and the other listed controller problems. A follow-up client update in the week of August 3–9, 2026 was announced to improve build stability further. Full details are in the patch notes guide.

If you are hitting stutter on PS5, the fixes players most often recommend (shared across platforms) are capping the frame rate, turning V-Sync off, and lowering shadow and view-distance settings — though console menus are more limited than the PC options.

Online Play Requirements

Like most online-focused console games, Mistfall Hunter on PS5 has a few requirements:

  • PS Plus required for online play, per the PlayStation Store listing. Game8’s release-date page confirms the game will not be on PS Plus — it is a paid title, not a day-one subscription title.
  • Up to 15 online players in a match.
  • Online play required — this is a multiplayer extraction title; there is no offline single-player mode.
  • PS5 cloud streaming is supported only with a PS Plus Premium subscription.

Crossplay on PS5

PS5 players are part of the game’s full crossplay pool. Bellring Games confirmed that full crossplay works across PlayStation, Xbox, Steam, and Xbox on PC — everyone plays together. PS5 players can squad up with PC and Xbox friends through the in-game Friends menu (search by Player ID once the menu unlocks after the early Hallowgrove section). See the crossplay guide for the full setup steps, including how to add friends on another platform and how the shared player pool affects matchmaking.

One caveat: cross-progression is not supported between PS5 and other platforms. Xbox console and Xbox on PC share progress with each other, but PS5 saves do not transfer to Steam or Xbox, as stated by the developer in the GamingBolt interview.

Player Reception on PS5

The US PlayStation Store shows an average rating of 3.52 out of 5 stars from roughly 1,300 ratings as of early August 2026 — down slightly from the ~3.6 across ~1,500 ratings logged in the first days after launch. Coverage of the pre-launch PS5 beta was cautiously positive — Push Square wrote that the “consensus right now is that the game’s shaping up to be pretty solid,” while reader comments flagged concerns about the extraction format and crossplay with PC. Reviews and player feedback across platforms point to the same themes: strong melee combat and atmosphere, with launch-window complaints about repetition, server stability, and content variety. On the technical side, PS5-specific feedback concentrates on frame-rate dips and stutter in busy fights (see the performance section above). For the full critical and player picture, see our Mistfall Hunter review.

The game also hit a broad audience milestone: on August 1, 2026, the official Mistfall Hunter X account announced over 500,000 Gyldhunters across all platforms (and a follow-up milestone of 1,000,000+ by August 5, per the update timeline). PS5 players are part of that shared crossplay population — see the player count guide for how the pool breaks down.
