While the game is already available on the PC, Nintendo Switch, PlayStation 4 and Xbox One, those hoping to nab themselves a Gen 9 copy of the game on the PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X|S will have to wait a teensy bit longer, with the game’s 16 October 2023 release date slipping through the publisher’s fingers, and now being set at 23 October 2023. In the grand scheme of things, especially considering typical delays for games, very minor.
