Is Fields of Mistria available on PlayStation 5?

Fields of Mistria is a promising life simulator developed by an indie developer called NPC Studio. It is a cozy game where players have to rebuild their community and reconnect all their neighbors after an unexpected tragedy. The game had an early release phase exclusively for PC last year, and some players are pondering whether it will launch on other platforms as well.

While the PC player base is significant, some players use traditional home consoles like the PlayStation 5. Indie games mostly thrive on PC; however, this shouldn't mean that console gamers should be left out. While NPC Studio is still sending out updates for the PC version, chances of a PlayStation 5 port are extremely high.

It is worth noting that the full game has yet to be released, and NPC Studio is working hard to iron out all the wrinkles for a smooth launch this year. Fields of Mistria is perfect for players looking for a laid-back experience about rebuilding a town from the ground up. Cozy games should be played on a platform where players can relax, and the PlayStation 5 is just waiting.

In the official FAQ, NPC Studio reiterated that the game is currently available on PC and Steam Deck verified. The developers followed up by saying they will be evaluating potential ports soon. Perhaps discussions of an in-house PlayStation 5 port are already in early phases.

NPC Studio is relatively new, and it has plenty to prove and live up to. Fields of Mistria is heavily influenced by other life simulators, such as Harvest Moon and Stardew Valley, that are available on almost every popular platform. It stands to reason that the developers will want to work on more ports as soon as possible to carve out a space for themselves.

The PlayStation 5 is perfect for this new farming simulator

Fields of Mistria has everything a farming simulator should have and then some. The art style is very homely and likely piques the interest of anime lovers, paired with a relaxing soundtrack from the background, entertaining farming activities, and a decent storyline.

NPC Studio should heavily consider porting Fields of Mistria to the PS5 since it is one of the most sought-out consoles in the current console generation. The developers can get creative and utilize the haptic feedback and adaptive triggers of the DualSense controllers to give the players a much more immersive gaming and farming experience.

The PlayStation 5 is the de facto choice for console gamers whenever a new AAA game has just been released, but it is also a perfect place to play cozy games. Players can spend hours rebuilding the town completing various tasks and have fun, which is the whole point of gaming.
