A spokesperson tells TrekMovie they currently have no news to share about a console release but will keep us posted.<\/p>\n Outposts Unknown screenshot (Magic Fuel Games\/Playstack)<\/p>\n If a release on consoles actually occurs, it\u2019s likely that an Outposts Unknown console release would include the likes of the Xbox Series S, Xbox Series X, and PS5. Hopefully, it would also mean a release on the newest console to hit the market: the Switch 2. As we said back at the game\u2019s announcement, all of this is conjecture at the moment; we\u2019ll of course report back when console availability is reconfirmed and further detailed.<\/p>\n Steve Wright is a longtime Trek fan and an experienced Australian-based games journalist.
