Stellaris: Console Edition Brings Paradox Grand Strategy To Consoles

Paradox Interactive has announced today that Stellaris is heading to consoles. Stellaris: Console Edition is "coming soon" to Xbox One and PS4 and while no details were given on its pricing, two editions will be available. Alongside what will most likely be the just the main game, the Deluxe Edition will also inlcude the Plantoids Species Pack, Leviathan Story Pack and Utopia expansion. An announcement trailer also popped up on the publisher's Youtube channel.

If titles like Cities: Skylines and Surviving Mars showed that there's a certain interest in bringing Paradox published titles to console, the announcement of Stellaris: Console Edition comes off as a bit of a surprise. Paradox grand strategies have been targeted towards PC players until now, being very menu heavy, notoriously difficult to get into but also terribly hard to let go once one gets a hang of them. On the flipside, Stellaris is arguably the most approachable Paradox Development Studios title and it will be interesting to see how the studio handles its first console port. Stellaris: Console Edition will be playable at this year's Gamescom.
