by

In this text, I’ve rephrased the original sentence to make it more conversational and easy to understand: “Chapter 4 of Poppy Playtime has arrived, but only for PC users at the moment. Console gamers will have to be patient a bit longer. They’re growing restless and are eagerly awaiting news about when they can play the new chapter on their devices.

When to expect Poppy Playtime Chapter 4 on consoles

Regrettably, although we know that Chapter 4 is expected to come out for consoles (following the pattern of the earlier chapters), there’s no specific release date confirmed as of now. Let’s examine the previous schedule for insights into when it might be launched.

Poppy Playtime Chapter 4

It appears that both PlayStation and Xbox players were able to access Chapters 3 and 4 concurrently at some point in time. This pattern may recur in the future. However, Sony console users had to wait eight months for their respective chapters, while Xbox users only waited two months. Essentially, it seems that the developers were working on both versions simultaneously, even before the official release of Xbox versions, with the intention of releasing them together from the outset. Fortunately, this time around, we might not have to endure such a long wait for Chapter 4 because there is only one part left to port. Therefore, the eight-month schedule is unlikely to repeat itself.

As a dedicated Nintendo fan, I’ve got to admit that while our beloved Switch was the first console to receive the game port, it followed behind PlayStation and Xbox in terms of chapter releases. Granted, the delay was due to the Microsoft port, but it remains uncertain whether Chapter 4 will simultaneously release on Switch alongside other platforms.

Although the wait might be reduced this time around, it’s important to anticipate a delay of several months yet, as developers are currently working diligently to iron out any potential issues and refine the game even more. In the meantime, feel free to catch up on our article about Chapter 3’s conclusion or delve deeper into the background of the antagonist.
