Techland Cancel Dying Light: The Beast for PS4 and Xbox One Release
Techland said the game was built for current-generation hardware and will refund preorders for the canceled versions.
- On Tuesday, July 14, 2026, Techland announced on Twitter that Dying Light: The Beast will no longer be released on PS4 and Xbox One, citing technical limitations that would compromise the game's experience.
- Techland stated the game was built for current-generation hardware, requiring processing power and memory that PS4 and Xbox One cannot provide without significant compromises to visuals and combat.
- Delivering the experience on older machines would require too many compromises, particularly as the PS4 will turn 13 years old this November, making it increasingly difficult to support modern game demands.
- Players who pre-ordered the game on PS4 or Xbox One are eligible for refunds, with Techland apologizing for the disappointment to those expecting to play on the older platforms.
- Dying Light: The Beast launched last year on PS5 and Xbox Series X/S, maintaining Techland's focus on current-generation hardware while ending plans for previous-generation console versions.
