Is BLACKWOOD on PS5 or Xbox?

Platform status at a glance

What the official sources actually say

Everything in this section comes from the developer, the publisher, or the Steam store listing itself.

• The pinned FAQ thread on the Steam forums, posted August 27, 2026 and last edited the next day. Asked "WIll BLACKWOOD be on console?", the developer, posting as timbre on the Steam forums, answered word for word: "It is in our plans to bring BLACKWOOD to PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X|S, TBA." The same thread answers "What will BLACKWOOD release on?" with "Steam PC". That is the whole official position on consoles: a plan, two named machines, no date. Source: the pinned BLACKWOOD FAQ thread.
• Steam store page (AppID 3639070). Act 1 released there on September 16, 2026. The platform field returns Windows only — no Mac, no Linux. Both system requirement columns list Windows 10/11 64-bit. There is no "also available on PS5 or Xbox" link anywhere on the listing. Full spec breakdown is on the system requirements page.
• The pre-launch press release "Before You Play BLACKWOOD" (AttritoM7 Productions and IZilla Games, 14 September 2026). Word for word: "BLACKWOOD: Act 1 just days away from its September 16 launch on Steam." This is worth more than it looks. The entire purpose of that release was to tell people what to know before buying, and it still mentions only Steam.
• The reveal-era press release and gameplay-video announcement (October 2025) used the same phrasing: "coming to PC via Steam."
• The Act 2 and Act 3 roadmap (official Steam announcement, 26 August 2026) covers release windows and the free-update pricing model. It does not mention platforms anywhere — the console answer lives in the FAQ thread, not in the roadmap, and the two are never tied together.

Where a console date would show up

The plan is official. The date is not. Below is every place a console release date would normally surface, and what each one holds today, with each source labelled.

• Gematsu, the reveal report from October 2025 — an independent games news site, not an official channel. Its wording was written separately from the publisher release and still says "coming to PC via Steam in Q3 2026," with no console mention.
• allthings.how, explainer updated 12 September 2026 — again not an official channel. It describes BLACKWOOD as "a single-player PC title" and walks through the whole three-act roadmap without a single reference to console platforms.
• The official X accounts @Blackwood_game and @Attrito_M7 — a targeted search for console, PS5 and Xbox posts about BLACKWOOD returned nothing. The console plan was published in the Steam FAQ thread, not there.
• TrueAchievements and TrueTrophies, the Xbox and PlayStation achievement trackers — third-party community databases, not official. Neither has a BLACKWOOD entry. These sites normally pick a game up once a console SKU exists, so an empty result is a mild signal that none has been set up yet.
• Xbox.com and PlayStation Store search returned no product for BLACKWOOD. Being straight with you: both search pages render their results in the browser, so an automated check cannot see the real result list. We are treating this one as weak supporting evidence only, not proof. weak evidence

DualSense support is not a PS5 version

The Steam listing carries a DualSense support tag, and that tag is the single most common reason people end up convinced a PS5 version exists.

It does not mean that. DualSense support on Steam is a PC controller compatibility category: it tells you the game handles a PlayStation pad plugged into your PC. Console releases are a separate store, a separate build and a separate announcement. A game can carry every controller tag Steam offers and still exist only on PC.

The ZERO HOUR confusion

Here is the trap, and it catches search engines as well as people.

AttritoM7 Productions has an earlier game called ZERO HOUR, and ZERO HOUR is coming to console. The studio's own X post reads: "Zero Hour is officially coming to PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X|S this Fall!"

That post is about ZERO HOUR. It is not about BLACKWOOD. Same studio account, different game — which is exactly why a search for "AttritoM7 PS5" can surface a genuine console announcement that has nothing to do with the game you are asking about.

Planned is not the same as dated

What follows is our own reading of the evidence, not an official statement.

Two facts sit side by side. The studio has said in writing that PS5 and Xbox Series X|S versions are in its plans, and in the same sentence it wrote TBA instead of a window. Nothing we checked on September 17, 2026 adds a date to that: no console store page, no platform-holder listing, no follow-up post. Stated precisely:

As of September 17, 2026, BLACKWOOD is out on Windows PC via Steam and is not available on PS5 or Xbox. The developer, posting as timbre in the pinned FAQ thread on the Steam forums, August 27, 2026: "It is in our plans to bring BLACKWOOD to PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X|S, TBA." No date, no window and no console store page has been published since.

Source: the pinned FAQ thread on the Steam forums.

That is the ceiling of what the evidence carries. A plan is not a release date, and TBA is not a soft hint at one — it is the studio saying it has not published one, and we are not going to convert it into a year for you. The studio track record points the same way: ZERO HOUR, its earlier game, is only now getting console versions, well after its original release.

So these questions still have no public answer today:

• when the PS5 and Xbox Series X|S versions arrive — the FAQ says TBA and nothing else
• whether PS4 and Xbox One are included — they were not named in the answer at all
• whether Steam Deck is covered — a player asked in the same thread and got no reply

We would rather leave those blank than guess. If you want the game now, PC is the only way in — see what it costs.

What would change this page

Any of these would be the first place a console date shows up, and they are what we watch:

• the pinned FAQ thread itself — the studio says it is updated periodically
• the official X account @Blackwood_game
• the Steam store page platform field and the official announcement feed
• a BLACKWOOD product page appearing on the PlayStation Store or Xbox.com
• publisher press releases from AttritoM7 Productions and IZilla Games
• a BLACKWOOD entry appearing on TrueAchievements or TrueTrophies

Until one of those moves, the table at the top stands.
