Mistfall Hunter on PS5

Mistfall Hunter is available now on PlayStation 5, including PS5 Pro. The dark fantasy PvPvE extraction ARPG from developer Bellring Games and publisher Skystone Games launched on PS5 alongside PC and Xbox Series X|S on July 29, 2026 at 6:00 PM PT (July 30, 01:00 UTC). Because the global unlock moment lands after midnight UTC, some storefronts list the release date as July 30.

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).
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.

Per Insider Gaming, Standard Edition buyers can upgrade to Deluxe at any time to unlock the same bonus content.

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.)

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.
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).

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 roughly 3.6 out of 5 stars from about 1,500 ratings in the 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.
