We do have a couple of this update.
No, 1.2 is not PC only.
The testing, the open testing of 1.2 is PC only and that starts in three hours until the game hits or the update hits its complete state and then launches for both PC and console.

I saw the question a couple times in chat.
No, there will be no PS5 and for that matter no Xbox update today either.
Today is the EXP launch on PC, Steam and Epic.
So if you are anticipating new content at all for consoles in 2 hours and 45 minutes, that's not happening.
Sorry.
PS5, Xbox and PC will all see 1.2 on the same day down the line when 1.2 hits the live game.

There is a question that is actually worth answering here and an answer right above it.
Or below it, sorry.
A serious question.
Why can't PS5 or Xbox players play Experimental or the testing period of a version?
Is it a problem with software or power of a console?
And it's neither.
The software and the power of the console
should be you know fine i mean bugs and weird issues that would be the same between pc and consoles aside this 1.2 exp session will just land right on top of the tech improvements that we have had on exp thus far so if anything baseline optimization and performance should be
slightly better with a risk of that being untrue where the game just shits itself because it's exp the real problem is with certification for releasing software on consoles at all both Sony and Microsoft are very very
What's the word?
Very, I guess, strict.
What's the kind of word?
Whatever.
Jason
Strict.
Strict is fair.
I mean, you know, console platforms typically are more sensitive about the quality of product that can be on their platforms.
Yes.
Even if it's in like an experimental beta period.
Like, yeah, conservative.
Sure.
Mikael
Yeah.
So, and having a, because games do go on alpha and beta on console too, they do, but they do have very specific build-ups and development processes to reach that stage and also quite lengthy as far as we've gathered talks with both Sony and Microsoft, which is just not something that we have the feasibility to do in time and power.
So, EXP for now will stay console only.
There was another thing that I caught right here that I instantly forgot that I wanted to answer slash address Which is... ah, it'll probably pop back up
So that's why EXP is PC only and like I said the 1.2 EXP is going to land right on top of the ongoing tech EXP that is up right now and should be until I mean I think the transition is going to be seamless if you happen to be playing EXP as this countdown ends and the EXP goes into 1.2 at best you might face a crash or something yeah he did mean PC only oh sorry PC
only
Mikael
I didn't mean PC only.
And I actually remember what I wanted to say.
It's also the factor that instant bug reporting and tracking down what actually happens behind the scenes is so much easier on PC than consoles in our case.
So PC only.

Dinosaur on YouTube, when will 1.2 come to console?
We can't give you an exact date, but I will say it will be months away rather than weeks away.
Yes.
So expect it several months from now.
Yes.

Console release when?
Any chance to play EXP on console?
No, sorry.
It is just on Steam and EGS.
Console will see the full official release alongside PC in a few months or a number of months.
I'm not super sure when.

In exactly one minute now, the update is hitting the experimental branch.
One final time, it is happening on PC, Epic and Steam.
Not console, because we are restricted there.
So exciting.
It's gonna be crazy fun to follow along and the stream will end basically right as that countdown hits zero.
I'll follow along whether I want to or not, but I definitely want to.
I'll follow along on both Discord and Twitch for a good while tonight, tomorrow, all week.
We'll see what you guys cook up immediately and as
Jason
it happens.
