One of Steam's Most Acclaimed Games of 2024 Seemingly Heading to Consoles

As a seasoned gamer with a penchant for indie titles that offer a unique twist on established genres, I can’t help but get excited about the potential release of “Nine Sols” on consoles. Having grown up with a controller in my hand, I’ve often felt left out when it comes to Steam exclusives. But alas, the stars seem to be aligning for us console-bound gamers!

As someone who has spent countless hours on my PC gaming, I must admit that this year has been nothing short of phenomenal for gamers like myself who prefer to play on a computer. Games such as Helldivers 2, Palworld, Manor Lords, and Hades II have provided us with an abundance of entertainment options, keeping us glued to our screens for hours on end. However, I’ve always felt a pang of sadness when my console-playing friends rave about the latest releases that have yet to make their way onto PC platforms. But it seems as though the tides are turning! It looks like one of this year’s most acclaimed Steam games is finally set to grace PlayStation, Xbox, and Nintendo Switch consoles. This development fills me with a sense of joy and relief, knowing that my console-playing friends will soon be able to experience the same level of excitement and immersion that I have been enjoying all year long. The gaming world just got a little bit smaller, but a whole lot better!

According to Gematsu, the 2D indie action game “Nine Sols,” which bears a strong resemblance to FromSoftware’s “Sekiro: Shadows Die Twice,” has received ratings for release on PS5, PS4, Xbox Series X/S, Xbox One, and Nintendo Switch in Taiwan. Originally launched in May, “Nine Sols” is the creation of developer Red Candle Games. At present, the game can only be found on Steam, but this rating suggests that its exclusivity may not last for much longer.

On Steam, it carries the highest possible rating – “Overwhelmingly Positive.” On Metacritic, it also holds a commendable 83/100 aggregate score, indicating that this action game is indeed worth checking out.

Currently, there’s no definite release date for the game “Nine Sols” on consoles, as Red Candle Games hasn’t provided any official updates. However, since ratings leaks often prove to be reliable, it’s likely that an announcement about new platforms will take place at some point in the future.
