WoW on console

really looking forward to be able to play shadowlands on my playstation. cant wait for 9.0

I have far too abilities to play on a console

Don’t think I like that

I’m no game developer.

But i’m pretty sure WoW on console is not going to happen for reasons beyond buttons to press or any controls of sorts.

They could do what FF14 does and I have more than enough buttons on my controller with their setup to make it work.

Wonder if they will split the communities like they do for Overwatch. Do you think it would be a fair matchup between a PC arena team and console arena team?

Prime reason why i think controllers or buttons are not the root of the problem.

FF14 on console bypassed this easily.

FFXIV sucks, who cares if they’re available on an outdated gaming system. WoW never will be, thankfully.

check shadowlands alpha wtf file, it has ps4, ps4 pro and ps5 built in.

Wait… is this more than just controller support related 0_0 ?

FF14 has more abilities and is on Playstation.

FFXIV has a longer GCD to make it comfortable to play on consoles, WoW’s GCD isn’t as bad, not yet anyway.

I’m not saying it is impossible just not my preference.
I like to moves with my mouse and keybinds for everything else.

I tried diablo on a console and it felt weird to me

Guess I’m just a pc person

Really pumped about Fallout 5 on Jaguar. Glad I got the Jag CD.

doable, ffxiv is evidence of that

can blizz pull it off though?

From a technical standpoint it probably wouldn’t be hard to do. PS4/Xbone are already x86-based (AMD APUs), and PS5/XboX keep the x86 architecture and push overall power well past what the average WoW player’s PCs can do.

The controller support is the big question mark. My suspicion is that it’d be fine for questing and open world but not so great for anything competitive.

Playing WoW on a nice big screen TV and proper sound system does sound pretty cool though.
