Over two weeks have passed since Coffee Stain Studios dropped a tantalizing teaser for the 1.1 update in Satisfactory. Now, they’ve come back with another video, unveiling more details about these thrilling new features that were just hinted at in the previous trailer. However, before diving deep into the 1.1 update specifics, Coffee Stain Studios first shared some news about the console versions of Satisfactory. As a gamer, I can’t wait to see what they have in store for us next!
As a dedicated fan, I’m thrilled to share that though there’s no official word on the Nintendo Switch (or Switch 2) launch, the game Satisfactory is anticipated to make its way onto Xbox and PlayStation consoles this year. The developers haven’t locked down an exact release date for Satisfactory on console yet, but they’ve been quite transparent about the overall timeline. Initially, it was thought that the console version would arrive before the 1.1 update, but the latest video update has clarified that this is no longer the scenario.
During a recent live stream, it was hinted that there would be a delay in the release of the console version of Satisfactory. Today’s update confirms this delay, but the makers, Coffee Stain Studios, are still aiming for a 2025 release date for the console versions. The upcoming Update 1.1 is set to come out before the console port and will include all the fresh features from version 1.1. Additionally, future updates for both PC and console versions of Satisfactory are expected to coincide, ensuring that players on all platforms will be able to enjoy the game’s development together in sync, much like an assembly line.

I’m sorry to report, rain enthusiasts may have to wait longer than anticipated for the return of rain in Satisfactory. Although Coffee Stain Studios is eager to reinstate it, the process has turned out to be more complex than initially thought. As a result, the arrival of rain might not occur until after the console update. The official release date for the 1.1 update hasn’t been disclosed yet, but new content will debut on the experimental branch of Satisfactory on April 1st. Rest assured, this is not an April Fool’s Day prank from Coffee Stain Studios.
Further exploration and comprehensive information about these fresh features will be shared at a later time. In the meantime, players can rejoice in the fact that many of the predictions from the trailer have been validated and that controller compatibility is set to be introduced with the 1.1 update. However, it should be noted that the console release may experience some delays.
