Resonance: A Plague Tale Legacy on PS5 is one of the three launch platforms, available digitally via the PlayStation Store and physically for $59.99. It supports the DualSense controller, runs with the visual fidelity the series is known for, and holds a 78 Metascore on the platform. Here's the full PS5 picture.

Availability and Price

The PS5 version launched August 27, 2026, day-and-date with Xbox Series X|S and PC. You can buy it:

  • PlayStation Store, digital, standard edition.
  • Amazon, physical disc at $59.99, published by Deep Silver.

The game is rated M for Mature. There's no PS4 version, Resonance is current-gen only.

Performance and DualSense

Resonance is a showcase for the PS5's presentation. Steam and critic reviews consistently praise the visuals, calling them "luxurious" and "stunning." On PS5, the game supports the DualSense controller, including its adaptive features (exact haptic integration unconfirmed). Asobo recommends a controller for the parry-heavy combat, and the DualSense is a natural fit.

PS5 Reviews

The PS5 version carries a Metascore of 78 (Generally Favorable) based on 57+ critic reviews. Highlights include PlayStation Universe (95) and ComicBook (90), both reviewed on PS5. The consensus: great story and atmosphere, with combat the main point of contention.

What to Expect

The PS5 version includes everything in the full game:

  • The 14-chapter campaign as Sophia.
  • The Minoan sphere light puzzles.
  • The dual-timeline story with Theseus.
  • 36 trophies including a Platinum (trophy list mirrors the Steam achievements).

Completionists should budget 15–20 hours for the Platinum, per IGN's guide.

PS5 vs. Other Platforms

The main PS5-specific consideration is whether you want physical media. Amazon's $59.99 physical disc is PS5's clearest retail path. Digital pricing on the PlayStation Store may vary by region. If you want to play on both Xbox and PC with shared saves, note that Xbox Play Anywhere applies only to the Xbox/Windows version, PS5 is standalone.
