Dying Light: The Beast PS4 And Xbox One Versions Cancelled

Bad news for fans of the Dying Light franchise who were waiting to play Dying Light: The Beast on PS4 or Xbox One, as Techland has finally officially cancelled the last-generation versions of the game.

The team took to social media today to announce that, “After careful consideration, we have made the difficult decision that Dying Light: The Beast will no longer be released on PlayStation 4 and Xbox One.”

The developer explained that Dying Light: The Beast was built from the ground up to take full advantage of current-generation hardware. However, according to Techland, as development progressed on the last-generation editions, it became clear that bringing the game to the older platforms would require “compromises that would prevent us from delivering the experience we set out to create.”

The developer went on to state that it is planning to fully refund anyone who pre-ordered the game for PS4 or Xbox One.

There is a controversy here, though, because Techland previously promised that the PS4 and Xbox One versions of the game would launch before the end of 2025.

Dying Light: The Beast originally released on September 18, 2025, for PC, PS5 and Xbox Series X|S. At the time, Techland said it had “prioritised development” for the current-generation and PC versions at launch.

Regarding PS4 and Xbox One, the company stated: “We will continue optimising versions for PlayStation 4 and Xbox One after the launch and are committed to releasing them until the end of 2025.”

The end of 2025 came and went, and Techland remained oddly silent about the matter. As 2026 progressed, the community became increasingly aware of the missing versions, with multiple social-media posts and discussion threads appearing to ask what had happened to them.

However, as far as I can tell, Techland remained quiet regarding the last-generation versions. It has taken until now, July 14, 2026, for the developer to officially cancel the project.

The reaction has been mixed, Many are happy to see the last-gen finally getting put to bed, especially as the next-generation of consoles are looking likely to begin rolling out in the next year or two. However, many people are understandably annoyed that it took Techland this long to provide any sort of update or make a decision regarding the fate of the PS4 and Xbox One versions of the game.
