Exo One Hits PS5, PS4 This Summer With 120 FPS And DualSense Haptics Support

Exbleative’s Exo One, which became popular for its sci-fi zen-like nature when it hit Xbox consoles and PC last year, is coming to PlayStation consoles this summer. 

Jay Weston, the creator of Exo One shared this news on the PlayStation Blog. He also revealed a trailer and information about the game. The trailer included word that the game will support 120 FPS gaming and DualSense feedback. Exo One will be available on both PlayStation 5 and PlayStation 4, but no official release date has been announced. 

“Hi folks, I’m stoked to be able to tell you all that Exo One will be landing on PlayStation 4 and PlayStation 5 this summer,” Weston writes in the blog. “Exo One began five years ago with a relatively simple idea about using gravity as a movement mechanic, and gradually grew into something strange and special, inspired by my love for sci-fi cinema and games that moved me emotionally. I’m super excited to see it find a new audience and reach new technical heights with this PS5 port.

“In Exo One, you’ll embark on a journey beyond the solar system, discovering everything from terrestrial deserts to dreamy gas giants as the pilot of an alien probe. To reach incredible speeds, glide across the landscape and control gravity yourself to get to exhilarating heights, you will need to roll and slide. You’ll ride thermal updrafts into boiling cloud formations, careen down hillsides, and launch off mountain tops, all the time drifting toward the shining blue beam on the horizon.” 

Weston says they designed the game as a “meditative focus on travel,” and in playing it, that’s quite clear. Although there are moments in the game that can be called stressful, Exo One’s core is relaxed, Zen-like, and focuses on moving forward as best you can. That’s why Weston designed the game with no timer measuring your progress, or monsters or enemies to fight, too. 

Exo One will be coming to PS5 and it offers 120 FPS gaming, provided that your television can display it at a high refresh rate. The DualSense controller also features haptics which reflect each planet’s terrain and weather. Weston says players will feel the wind resistance on the controller’s trigger while gliding through winds and updrafts. Different terrains can have different vibrations. One type of terrain might result in “steady pulsations” while another might give a “stronger, shakier vibration,” Weston writes in the blog post. Vibrations are stronger if you travel faster.
