Been casting a jealous eye the way of Steam, as the sci-fi city building of IXION has gathered up the plaudits? Cast that eye no more as today IXION has been confirmed for Xbox and PlayStation.
IXION is heading to console
IXION, from Kasedo Games and Bulwark Studios has been on PC, through Steam, for a couple of years already. In that time it’s gone down pretty damn well with the community too, gathering up Mostly- and Very-Positive reviews. But very soon you’ll be able to play that game on Xbox Series X|S and PlayStation 5. At least, as long as you class Q1 2025 as ‘very soon’.
IXION combines city building, survival elements and exploration into one huge, super thrilling space opera among the stars. It sees you dropped in to this galactic world, before being propelled onwards through a gripping narrative and promise of the most perilous journey.
Dive in to IXION on Xbox and PlayStation and you’ll find yourself charged with finding a new home for humanity, all whilst working for DOLOS Aerospace Engineering Corporation as the Administrator of the Tiqqun space station. And as that Administrator, you’ll be left to keep on top of a variety of things, maintaining hull integrity, bringing in new resources and managing power consumption. It’s things like this which will be of critical importance to keeping the station sound and the overall mission alive.
Key game features
