Icarus Console Edition Confirmed for 2026 Release Without Cross-Play Functionality

The survival crafting game Icarus, developed by DayZ creator Dean Hall, is making its console debut in early 2026. According to reports, the PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series versions will include the New Frontiers expansion but won’t feature cross-play compatibility with the PC version due to fundamental differences between platforms.

Console Release Timeline and Development

The long-awaited console version of survival game Icarus will arrive on PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series platforms in the first quarter of 2026, according to reports from today’s Galaxies showcase event. Sources indicate that the console ports are being handled by Grip Studios in the Czech Republic, a development team with experience on titles including Mafia: The Old Country and Conan Exiles. This separation from Dean Hall’s primary studio RocketWerkz allows dedicated development resources for the console adaptation.
