Is Manor Lords on console?

It’s kind of hard to believe that a substantial game like Manor Lords could be developed by only one person, but that hasn’t stopped it from being an absolutely massive success since its April 26 release date. Rising rapidly to become the top-selling game on Steam and hitting a staggering number of concurrent players, this Early Access strategy title is certainly making a name for itself right out of the gate. However, despite being such a popular game on Steam and PC Game Pass, some players may be wondering if and when they can get their hands on it for consoles. It’s currently a tricky question to answer, but here’s what we know so far about whether Manor Lords will come to consoles.

Is Manor Lords on console?

Manor Lords is not currently available on any consoles. That doesn’t mean we won’t see this successful game make its way over to additional platforms, though. In early May 2024, developer Greg Styczeń confirmed on Twitter that he’s working with publisher Hooded Horse to bring Manor Lords to Xbox “as soon as possible.” While we don’t know how soon that will actually be, it seems that Microsoft’s console will at least receive the game at some point in the (hopefully) near future.

When asked about a possible PlayStation 5 version of Manor Lords in the same Twitter thread, Styczeń stated: “We’re still talking about it.” This may mean a potential PS5 release could be much further out than the Xbox version. And given Styczeń’s silence about a Nintendo Switch release, it’s not looking particularly likely that it will receive a version of Manor Lords at all — though only time will tell.

There are few cozy games as successful and beloved as Stardew Valley, so it's no wonder it has received regular updates since its 2016 release. If you're a fan of the game, you've no doubt been looking forward to its new 1.6 update, which brings some pretty substantial changes and bug fixes to improve the gameplay experience. Unfortunately for some players, the update has only released on PC so far, meaning console players have been left wondering when they'll get an opportunity to see all of the fresh changes in the game. Here's what we know so far about when the Stardew Valley 1.6 update is coming to consoles.
When is Stardew Valley update 1.6 coming to consoles?
Unfortunately, we don't have an immediate answer regarding when Stardew Valley update 1.6 will land on consoles, though we do know it's on the way in the near future. In a social media post on April 26, developer ConcernedApe gave a minor update on the console versions of the newest update, saying, "Console and mobile ports are still in progress, thank you again for your continued patience!" This doesn't answer much, but it should at least give console players the peace of mind that the update is still headed their way and will be available as soon as possible.

In the meantime, you can check out Stardew Valley's 1.6 patch notes to see everything new in the update, which includes a wide variety of bug fixes, translation changes, and gameplay improvements that should make most players happy.

This is the longest a Nintendo console has gone without a successor

If you feel like you've been waiting a long time for a Nintendo Switch 2, you're not wrong. The Switch's lifecycle is officially the longest Nintendo has gone without releasing (or announcing) a console successor.

We caught wind of this fact from this LinkedIn post by PR manager Jess Thomas, who noted that the second-longest wait time was between the NES and the SNES. So we did the math. As of publication time, it's been 2,688 days since the Switch was released. The length of time between the NES and the SNES was 2,686 days.

Xbox Game Pass is getting a price hike alongside complicated tier overhaul

Microsoft just announced some price hikes and tier changes for Xbox Game Pass, its video game subscription service. The changes, which go into effect on July 10, were quietly announced on Xbox's support site before being noticed by Wario64 and Windows Central.

The most notable change is that Microsoft will no longer allow people to purchase Game Pass for Console. While existing subscriptions won't be affected, people will have to instead opt for Xbox Game Pass Core or the new Xbox Game Pass Standard tier, which is launching "in the coming months." Xbox Game Pass Standard will cost $15 a month and give subscribers access to online multiplayer on consoles, but won't support cloud gaming or have immediate access to "some games available with Xbox Game Pass Ultimate on day one."
