Hi everyone! My name is Juan Martinez, executive producer at Fatshark and part of the Warhammer 40,000: Darktide team. I’d like to welcome all PlayStation players to the four-player co-operative grimdark experience we have created.
Today we opened access to Warhammer 40,000: Darktide for PS5 players who pre-ordered the Imperial Edition. We are super excited to announce that the game will be available for all PS5 players on December 3.

For those of you with a PS5 Pro, we harnessed PSSR technology to get Warhammer 40,000: Darktide running at a steady 60FPS at 4K resolution.
We also spent quite a bit of time with the adaptive triggers and haptic feedback features of the DualSense wireless controller. Our team wants the DualSense controller to feel like a natural extension of the Warhammer 40,000: Darktide experience. From the iconic Boltgun firing explosive
