Immortality was an acclaimed FMV game that came out on PC, Xbox Series X|S, and mobile in 2022. It skipped PlayStation systems, but it seems like the unique title is now being released on PS5.

Creator Sam Barlow casually mentioned the port on Twitter. When prompted on a possible Immortality PS5 port, Barlow simply noted that he was “working on it” while adding a smiling emoticon. He didn’t offer any sort of window, so it’s unclear when it would be coming out. A PS4 version also was not mentioned, but given how Immortality didn’t come to Xbox One, it likely won’t come to Sony’s last-gen console, either.

Barlow had previously hinted that a PS5 version was incoming. In May 2023, Barlow tweeted that a PS5 port “[sounded] like a good idea!”

Immortality is just coming up on its one-year anniversary, as it first was released on Xbox Series X|S and PC on August 30, 2022. Netflix also put out a mobile version in November 2022.

mmortality was lauded for its one-of-a-kind approach to storytelling, earning it an average score of 88 on OpenCritic. It’s also the third FMV video game from Barlow, who previously worked on Her Story and Telling Lies, the latter of which made its way to PS4 (as well as Nintendo Switch, iOS, Xbox One, and PC). Both were also praised for their puzzle-like narratives that mainly used videos of real actors to tell their stories in nontraditional ways.

Immmortality is also leaving Game Pass very soon (e.g. tomorrow) so perhaps when it gets ported to PS5 it will also get added as a PS+ Extra title?

Quite an interesting game but it tried my patience

 

[Robb]

I enjoyed it early on but it got super repetitive after a while and the controls are really finicky at times.. Had some interesting/unique mechanics though.

Probably more of a 6/10 for me. Wouldn’t mind seeing them improve and try again with a sequel though.

Might also come later down the road to Switch 2

Switch getting roasted. This game runs on 2GB RAM phones.

This could run on Sega CD. It's literally just video clips and a DVD menu level UI.
