The year ahead promises to be a big one for gaming, with 2026 stacked full of big releases, and Highguard is among the major names landing this year, though there has been some confusion about the platform availability.
Revealed at The Game Awards, Highguard is set to be released on January 26, though the build-up has gone under the radar for many players due to an eerie radio silence from the developer.
Expect that to change in the final days before release, however, and if you want to know which platforms Highguard is available on, Insider Gaming has the details.
Is Highguard on PlayStation 5?
Yes, Highguard is available on PlayStation 5, as the title from the creators of Apex Legends and Titanfall is releasing the game across all major platforms.
PlayStation 5 is, naturally, among those platforms, and, similarly to other games in the genre, crossplay will allow you to play with friends and other players across various platforms.
Uncertainty over the title being available on PlayStation stems from a very quiet build-up to the game, with pre-ordering and wishlisting for the title not available, apart from the latter on Steam.
Is Highguard on Xbox Series X|S?
Yes, just like PlayStation 5, Highguard will be available on Xbox Series X|S at launch, allowing players on the platform to join the new title at any point.
Similar to the PlayStation confusion, the quiet approach to promotion on Highguard has led to some queries on what platforms exactly the game will be released on, with details scarce following the initial trailer.
However, that trailer, albeit briefly, confirmed Highguard will be available on Xbox Series X|S, so fear not if you’re active on either console, as the game will be available.
Is Highguard on PC?
Highguard will be playable on PC, and, in fact, Steam is the only place in the build-up to the launch where you can wishlist the title.
While store listings have been absent on other platforms, the Steam listing for Highguard has been live since the unveil, and you can add the game to your wishlist so you don’t forget exactly when it drops.
If you play on PC, you won’t be locked out of playing with those on other platforms, as the game will feature full crossplay support.
