When is Tempest Rising going to be released for PS5 and Xbox Series X/S? Tempest Rising quickly made its way onto the radars of many RTS enthusiasts following its announcement, aiming to bring back into the spotlight the venerated Command and Conquer-style formula. Since it’s a series primarily found on PC, console users might be wondering when it will be released on PS5 and Xbox Series X/S.
Developed using Unreal Engine 5, Tempest Rising launches with two factions – the versatile Global Defense Force and hardy Tempest Dynasty – with a third set to become available post-launch. You can master their devastating arsenals and distinct tactics in both dedicated single-player campaigns and multiplayer.

A FAQ article dating from 2022 delves further into the matter, with the developer noting the following: “Currently, we only plan for a PC release.”
It’s difficult to say whether plans might have changed internally since the article was published, but based on what has been shared so far, a Tempest Rising console version doesn’t seem to be on the cards.
Should that not be the case, we’ll undoubtedly hear from developer Slipgate Ironworks and co-publishers 3D Realms and Knight’s Peak.
Although the game is heavily inspired by a classic PC real-time strategy (RTS) game, more and more strategy games have begun making the jump to consoles. Perhaps, following a successful launch, the same might apply to Tempest Rising.
That is what we know so far about when Tempest Rising is going to be released on PS5 and Xbox Series X/S. For more on the game, find out whether or not you can play it through Nvidia Geforce Now.
