Is Temtem Swarm Early Access on PlayStation, Xbox and Nintendo Switch?

With the launch of Temtem Swarm in early access, fans of Crema's 2020 monster-taming MMORPG have been introduced to a roguelike rendition where they can control the critters to overcome waves of foes. Inspired by genre hits such as Vampire Survivors, Temtem Swarm brings its own spin to the formula as well as a level of challenge that should make fans of "bullet heaven" titles happy.

That said, can players on PlayStation, Xbox, and Nintendo Switch enjoy Temtem Swarm? Unfortunately, the answer is no. Read on to learn more.

Is Temtem Swarm Early Access on consoles?

The game is exclusively available on PC via Steam for its early access period. Developer GGTech Studios in collaboration with publisher Crema has chosen to focus on a single platform as the game is expected to undergo active development for a year while remaining available for purchase. As such, players who are on PlayStation, Xbox, and Nintendo Switch will be missing out.

As an early access title, the devs will aim to refine the game, its mechanics, and systems based on community feedback while also fixing bugs and enhancing performance. So unless players are okay with limited content for the time being, waiting for the 1.0 launch sounds like the best idea.

With no concrete release window in sight, the studio has detailed a clear roadmap for the future, including updates like new Temtems, maps, enhanced Swarm behavior, and much more. These will gradually be added to Temtem Swarm via updates that players won't have to pay extra for.

Speaking of money, like with many other early access launches, this early version is relatively cheap and fans can expect the pricing to spike after the final version launches. So those who want a taste of what's coming while also grabbing it for cheaper can dip their toes in now.

Coming back to the topic of consoles, there is good news. It has been confirmed that Temtem Swarm will launch on consoles once the PC version is ready. Whether this includes the last-gen PlayStation 4/Xbox One or just the modern platforms such as PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X|S and Nintendo Switch, or both, remains to be seen.

Given past trends with the mainline Temtem game, it is safe to say Temtem will skip PlayStation 4 and Xbox One, while only releasing on the other three current-gen systems. However, we will keep you updated with more details once they are confirmed by publisher Crema.
