Developer Neon Giant and publisher Curve Games released cyberpunk action RPG The Ascent for Xbox consoles and PC earlier this year, and clearly, the developer has plans to keep supporting the game, not just with DLC packs and meaty patches, but with more content and features coming up in the future as well. And soon, it seems, the game will also take the leap to other platforms.

As spotted by Gematsu over on Twitter, The Ascent was recently rated for PS5 and PS4 the Taiwan Entertainment Software Rating Information board. No PlayStation version has been announced for the game, of course, and it’s remained an Xbox console exclusive since launch, so this definitely counts as an interesting development.

Interestingly, it seems the Taiwanese rating for the game suggests the game’s PlayStation launch will be handled by Korean publisher H2 Interactive, though it’s unknown whether that will be specific to Korea or if it will be worldwide. Of course, most importantly, we’re awaiting official confirmation that the PlayStation versions of the game are indeed around the corner. For what it’s worth, developer Neon Giant has previously acknowledged the demand for a PS5 version of the game.

For now, The Ascent is available only on Xbox Series X/S, Xbox One, and PC. You can read our review of the game through here.
