PlayStation 4 users will have to wait a whole year to play Tomb Raider and they're not happy

9 months ago

Chances are if you’re a fan of Tomb Raider, you can’t wait for the release of Rise Of The Tomb Raider. In fact, that’s almost definitely the biggest understatement of the year.

You’ll also be aware that the first sequel to the 2013 reboot is an Xbox exclusive. But now we know how long PlayStation users will have to wait to get the game on their console – one year. So, are you willing to be stubborn and let Microsoft and Crystal Dynamics, the game’s developer, know that you’d rather wait a year than buy an Xbox to play it on, or will you fall for the bait?

It all means that Xbox One players will be exploring Siberia with Lara from November, while the game will be available on Steam and PC from early next year, and PlayStation users will be waiting until the Christmas period next year. We completely understand if you feel like crying.

A (parody) account of Sony’s CEO put a bit more of a positive spin on it.

While some PS4 users can do that themselves.

Generally, people don’t seem as peeved as they were when the news first broke about Tomb Raider being an Xbox exclusive.

But of course, Xbox users are still happy to rub it in people’s faces.

And here’s a little reminder for all PlayStation users of what they’ll have to patiently wait a year for.
