Conan Exiles PS4 update, Xbox One Scorpio and server news
Conan Exiles is a new open-world survival game currently in Steam early access on PC.
Developers Funcom have confirmed that it will be released on Xbox One in spring 2017 and will eventually arrive on PS4 sometime later.
Today, a new interview with Funcom provided an official Conan Exiles PS4 update, as well as more on the impact the PS4 Pro and Xbox One Scorpio may have.
Speaking to Wccftech, Funcom’s Chief Technical Officer Frederick Richardson looked to answer questions on release dates, the Nintendo Switch and the mid-cycle refresh consoles.
“At the moment our focus is on the PC and Xbox One versions of the game, but we are planning on making a PS4 version later.
“The Nintendo Switch looks interesting, but currently we have no plans for it.

Conan Exiles is currently available on PC early access
Speaking on the PlayStation 4 Pro and Xbox One Scorpio, Richardson added: “We are extremely excited at the arrivals of both Scorpio and the PS4 Pro. I’m afraid we can’t give any more details at the moment, though.”
Based on those coy responses, it appears that Funcom may have a few plans up their sleeves, if they can get past the hurdles of building the game’s on PC and Xbox One.
They have also stipulated that they do not believe Conan Exiles will be in Early Access for over a year, meaning that they could switch their attentions to a PS4 version by the end of 2017.
The PS4 platform has in the past not allowed for early access projects to be released on its platform, although this recently changed with the introduction of ARK: Survival Evolved.
There is the chance that Conan Exiles could arrive before its full release if it has reached a certain point in its development cycle, however, Sony have not given any official word on a change of policy.
Conan Exiles recently launched on Steam Early Access but has been struggling with issues when it comes to online connectivity. Fans may have also noticed that the official Conan Exiles servers recently disappeared from the list.
Funcom are now looking to address this problem and the decision to take the game offline for a short time should pay dividends in the future.
However, right now it means that Conan Exiles gamers have been restricted to how they can play online.
Funcom have confirmed that there are more people playing the game in the first week than they had anticipated and this has meant that their Conan Exiles server partners have been unable to keep up with demand.
Players can still use one of the mainy private servers available and recently gave this update on the situation: “We are still working on bringing the official servers back online. We thank you for your patience in this matter.
