Quantum Error’s PS4 Version Has Been Cancelled, Developer TeamKill Media Announces

Quantum Error, an upcoming horror first-person shooter title from developer TeamKill Media will no longer be coming to PS4, the developer has announced.

After causing headlines around Quantum Error’s use of the PS5’s SSD, it’s all together not shocking to learn that the team couldn’t get Quantum Error to run on PS4 at a quality level they approved of.

“Unfortunately, we are going to have to cancel the PS4 version of QE [Quantum Error],” the team announced on Twitter.

“Even with the game being made from the beginning for the PS5, we still had hopes we could make a PS4 version happen, but with the level of quality we have achieved with QE with gameplay running at 60fps, we have reach[ed] the conclusion that there is no way for us to deliver a version on PS4 that would live up to what the PS5 is going to deliver.

A PS4 version would require too much downgrading and changing of assets, lighting and much more to function, and with the difference in memory and the slower HDD speed, it would be a very different experience that will not compare to the PS5 version and would not be fair to PS4 players.”

Last we heard of the PS4 version, TeamKill Media said it wouldn’t arrive at launch, but would come later. Cancelling this version, while disappointing for PS4 players, seems to be the best choice for TeamKill Media to make.

No one wants to repeat the same mistakes CD Projekt RED made with its Cyberpunk 2077 launch, which was absolutely unplayable on previous generation hardware.

Hopefully this cancellation will mean resources put towards the PS4 version will go to making the PS5 version of the game we’ll play at launch as smooth and enjoyable to play as possible.
