Party Animals is Finally Coming to PS5

Summary

  • Party Animals, a chaotic party game featuring 45+ characters and diverse game modes including a new racing game, is coming to PS5.
  • A humorous announcement trailer showcases the game's slapstick style, though a release date remains unannounced.
  • PlayStation gamers eagerly anticipate Party Animals' arrival, with hopes of it joining the PlayStation Plus lineup.

Party Animals, the wildly popular physics-based brawler, is officially coming to PlayStation 5. While specific details are scarce, Recreate Games' debut title—initially a Game Pass hit—is making its way to the PS5 two years after its initial timed console exclusivity.

Offering a fresh take on the party game genre, Party Animals boasts a roster of over 45 playable characters and a variety of maps and modes. A recent update even introduced a new racing game, Nemo Kart, adding another layer of fun to the already chaotic gameplay.

The recently released PS5 announcement trailer, while short, perfectly captures the game's signature slapstick humor. The trailer features Nico, the game's mascot, hilariously interacting with a PlayStation 5 and DualSense controllers, setting the stage for the frantic fun to come.

Party Animals Drops PS5 Trailer

While the trailer doesn't reveal a specific release date, simply stating "coming soon," the game's pre-existing PlayStation listing (dating back to July 2024) and its established presence on Xbox Series X|S suggests a relatively swift PS5 launch. The "coming soon" timeframe, coupled with recent press, hints at a release within the next few months. However, it's important to remember that final content and release dates are subject to change.

PlayStation gamers have expressed immense excitement, with many hoping Party Animals will become a PlayStation Plus offering. Given its initial Game Pass inclusion (followed by its removal), a similar strategy on PlayStation Plus—providing a limited-time free access period for subscribers—seems plausible. Regardless of its PlayStation Plus status, Party Animals is poised to make a significant splash on the PS5.
