The co-op horror game *R.E.P.O.* has taken the PC gaming community by storm since its launch in February, boasting over 200,000 players. However, fans eagerly awaiting a console version may be disappointed. As of now, *R.E.P.O.* remains a PC-exclusive title with no confirmed plans for a console release.
The game's developer, semiwork, is currently focused on refining the multiplayer experience on PC. A significant challenge they face is balancing the need for robust anti-cheat measures with the desire to maintain compatibility with player mods. "The main issue with matchmaking lobbies is hackers. But the issue with an anti-cheat system is that you’re ruining the experience for everyone who has made mods, because mods don’t work with an anti-cheat system. And we don’t want that," the developer explained to PCGamer. This issue takes precedence over any potential console port.
While other PC-only titles like *Mouthwashing* have successfully transitioned to consoles, it's worth noting that *Mouthwashing* is a single-player game, which simplifies the porting process. Similarly, games like *Lethal Company* and *Content Warning*, which share a similar gameplay premise with *R.E.P.O.*, have also stayed PC-exclusive. Last year, the developers of *Content Warning* hinted at a potential console release but cited technical challenges, and no further updates have been provided since.
In conclusion, *R.E.P.O.*'s developer has not expressed any interest in bringing the game to consoles, prioritizing the enhancement of the PC version's multiplayer features instead. Fans looking for more game-related tips can check out our guide on how to access the Secret Shop in *R.E.P.O.*.
