Electronic Arts and Velan Studios today announced that their multiplayer action title, Knockout City, will be coming to next-gen consoles in November. The next-gen upgrade will be free.
The game will launch on PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X/S with both Performance and Quality graphical settings. The Quality option for PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X is Native 4K at 60fps. Performance is 1440p (upscaled to 4K) at 120fps and 1620p (upscaled to 4K) at 120fps, respectively. For Xbox Series S users, the options are 1440p at 60fps or 1080p at 120fps.
Developer Velan Studios has also upgraded the game’s textures and lighting on next-gen consoles. These include “new area lights, ball lights, particle lights, improved global illumination, and local light shadows.”
The upgrade will be free to all previous-gen players who have already bought or downloaded the game, even through Xbox Game Pass or PlayStation Plus. Knockout City: Season 2 launched earlier this year.
