Is Star Wars: Hunters Coming to PlayStation or Xbox?

Star Wars: Hunters is a free-to-play third-person arena Star Wars game available on Android, iOS, and Nintendo Switch. But what about the big two? Is Star Wars: Hunters coming to PlayStation or Xbox? Here’s what you need to know.

Is Star Wars: Hunters Coming to PlayStation or Xbox?

Star Wars: Hunters is not coming to PlayStation or Xbox. It’s not available on either platform, and Zynga has not revealed any plans to bring it to Xbox or PlayStation further down the line. It’s also not coming to PC, though there are Android emulators you can use to run Android apps on a PC.

It might seem surprising that it’s not coming to Xbox and PC. After all, Star Wars: Hunters is a free-to-play game, and, as is the case with many F2P games, its income will come from players spending money on microtransactions. So, you’d think that more platforms would mean more profit.

But there’s one possible reason why the game’s not on PS4/PS5 and Xbox One/Xbox Series X|S, and that all has to do with the power of the Nintendo Switch. The Switch is less powerful than the PS4 and Xbox One and far less powerful than the PS5 and Xbox Series X|S. It may have been easier for Zynga to develop the mobile versions and spruce the game up for Switch than to develop entirely separate versions for Xbox and PlayStation.

Take Farming Simulator 23 on Nintendo Switch, for example, which also launched on iOS and Android. Instead of being a straight port of the PlayStation, Xbox, and PC version of Farming Simulator 22, it’s a downgraded mobile-friendly version.

So, the answer to whether Star Wars: Hunters is coming to PlayStation or Xbox is no. It’s only available on Nintendo Switch, iOS, and Android and is likely to remain that way for the foreseeable future.

Star Wars: Hunters releases on June 4.
