According to Prima Games, the game could exist on Xbox One and PS4 in terms of presentational demands. The game’s PC requirements don’t indicate that the PS4 and Xbox One couldn’t handle the game, and it’s very viable for next-gen consoles. Yet, there are no stated plans for a console release, be it for the current generation or next generation, with regards to Crucible.
However, there could be some logistical problems stalling or impeding a console version’s development or announcement. As per franchise lead Colin Johanson, we are reminded that Crucible is releasing during the COVID-19 pandemic, which has affected game development far and wide. Like other development studios, the Crucible development studio has been working on the game remotely, which has changed the developmental process.
Further, with the development team located in Washington, one of the first hotspots for the novel coronavirus, Crucible’s development process was likely impacted to a huge degree.
As such, any chance of a console port or version is likely on the low end right now. While the pandemic is definitely a factor here, so is monitoring the game’s PC release and reviewing the issues that players run into on PC.
