Party Animals is Finally Coming to PS5

Summary

• Party Animals, a chaotic party game featuring 45+ characters and diverse game modes including a new racing game, is coming to PS5.
• The humorous PS5 announcement trailer showcases the game's slapstick style without revealing a release date.
• PlayStation gamers are eagerly anticipating Party Animals' arrival, with hopes of it joining the PlayStation Plus catalog.

Party Animals, the wildly popular physics-based brawler, is officially coming to PlayStation 5! Following its well-received launch on Xbox Game Pass, Recreate Games' delightful title is finally making its way to PlayStation consoles two years after its initial timed exclusivity. More details are promised soon.

Offering a fresh take on the party game genre, Party Animals boasts a roster of over 45 playable characters and a variety of maps and modes to keep the fun going. A recent update even introduced a brand-new racing game mode, Nemo Kart, adding another layer of chaotic fun to the mix.

The recently released PS5 announcement trailer, while short, perfectly captures the game's zany spirit. The trailer features Nico, Party Animals' iconic mascot, hilariously interacting with a PlayStation 5 and DualSense controllers, showcasing the game's signature slapstick humor.

Party Animals Drops PS5 Trailer

While the trailer doesn't provide a specific release date, simply stating "coming soon," the anticipation is high. Given the game's existing PlayStation Store listing (created in July 2024) and its prior availability on Xbox Series X|S, a relatively swift PS5 launch is expected. The "coming soon" phrasing suggests a release within the next few months, though the developers note that final content and release dates are subject to change.

PlayStation gamers are expressing significant excitement for Party Animals' arrival, with many hoping it will be included in the PlayStation Plus lineup. Its previous day-one inclusion (and subsequent removal) from Xbox Game Pass fuels speculation that a similar strategy might be employed on PlayStation, offering subscribers a free trial period. Regardless of its PlayStation Plus status, Party Animals is poised to make a significant splash on the PS5.
