TROPICO 6 Brings Caribbean Sunshine to PS4 and Xbox One Today

In March 2019, Tropico 6 was released for PC, earning over 6,000 (85%) positive reviews on Steam (check out our review) and over 250 positive press reviews. Today, Tropico 6 will be officially released for the PlayStation 4 and Xbox One, and will finally make its appearance on the big screen.

Kalypso Media specializes in the development of strategy games for both PC and home consoles. Thanks to Unreal Engine 4 and the hard work of developer Limbic Entertainment, Tropico 6 shines on consoles. The game runs in 30 FPS on first generation PlayStation 4 and Xbox One units. Over on the Xbox One X and PlayStation Pro, Tropico 6 is able to kick things up a notch and runs at 60 FPS in full HD or 30 FPS in 4K. Controls are optimized for both the Dualshock 4 and Xbox One controllers, allowing for the same fluid Tropico experience players have come to expect.

On consoles, all previous improvements and optimizations from the PC version are carried over – made possible by close co-operation with the community, as well as a lot of finetuning in development. Tropico 6 on consoles also comes with an array of new content and fixes, including:

  • Four new traits for El Presidente
  • New edicts (e.g. Free Housing)
  • New overlays
  • Special effects of buildings are visualized
  • Revised balancing (e.g. tourism, media building)
  • Revised pathfinding for Tropicans
  • New variations for parks and squares
  • New decoration: Space Monument
  • New customization options for El Presidente
  • Colour blind mode
  • More than 300+ bugfixes
