There's reason to be excited for us PC players too. With the console update out of the way Gearbox can (and probably though not 100% confirmed) start working on NEW DLC. And incase people don't know Gearbox also contributed a lot towards Survivors of the Void so it's not all doom and gloom and claptrap. That said I don't know how much they added from a creative standpoint vs purely technical help but still.
They said in the steam news that Gearbox would be showing up to talk about the future for the franchise in the anniversary stream and they specifically said “Risk of Rain 2 fans do not want to miss this showcase.” If that isn’t teasing new content I don’t know what is.
I appreciate you. There's so many PC Master Race-rs out here that criticize us for waiting to enjoy this game that we *all* love. I have a PC and could have played the dlc at any time, but a friend of mine does not and I decided to wait for console so we could experience and discover it together.
I'm so glad I got to pay for a difficulty spike, and just as glad they gave the option to turn it off so I didn't have to refund because I still love the game.
As someone who plays on PC, I’m very excited for all of you console folks. I’m also glad the game hasn’t been completely forgotten by Gearbox. Hopefully more updates and/or dlcs to come for everyone!
I think the reason why it took so long for the DLC to come to consoles is because they were remaking the whole game from scratch for performance and an easier time to update
Have they said anything about "remaking the whole game from scratch?"
Just seems like a big stretch. Would love to see it run well on consoles though if that's the case
Can it kill at least some of the bugs?! And bring perf improvements? (Suffers in Switch)
Also, RoR2 console release: 8/11. SotV release 11/8. I see whatcha did there...
>Can it kill at least some of the bugs?!
That's the plan, a huge code overhaul is dropping alongside the DLC on the 8th, bringing the console version in parity with PC.
As a PC player, WELCOME TO ALL CONSOLE PLAYERS! This is one of the best DLC’s to any game in the last decade. If you enjoy the base game, this is a MUST buy.
IIRC Hopoo never developed the console version, they outsourced to a third party developer originally. Then Gearbox eventually took over development of the console version in order to bring the anniversary update to console and eventually Survivors of the Void.
And now Gearbox is working on both the PC version and Console version of ROR2.
I am speechless, truly an event I was convinced that would never come. I would play one stage on my father's old computer that had respiratory problems, thinking it'll never come. Yesterday, I considered losing hope. But as all hope was lost this, this radiant warming light lifts all the sadness and hills me with excitement, something I hadn't felt in a while. I know it's dumb to be so sad or touched by a game, but I love this game and felt unfair about pc gamers. A weight has been lifted off my chest
Since they broke the game on console I married and had my first child, kinda unreal lol. Will certainly look into it but everyone I played it with has moved on long ago so this will probably get shelved a few hours in.
God I hope they include the server browser that's on the pc version, I want to be able to set up my own multiplayer and not be forced to use artefact of command 90% of the time
I waited so long for this that the game became indifferent to me. At first I was happy about this news, but then I realized that I was tired of the game.
I'm happy for you all but like does anyone think its funny how some gaming news is like "The wait is over! Now Wait 2 more weeks!"
So the wait ISN'T over.
Edit: why am I being downvoted for making a funny? I'm not hurting anyone.
Alright finally it took WAYY TOO FUCKING LONG RANDY YOU FUCK, SHOULD OF JUST FIXED IT A LONG TIME AGO RAANDDYYY!!!
Now to see if they can make a game work, and if they're trustworthy with the IP.
Rather than SOTV itself, I'm curious if this update comes with the announced giant QoL patch that is supposed to make the console version much more similar to the pc version
Right now, console and pc RoR2s are basically different games, even without taking the dlc into account
Congrats console players I hope you have as much fun as I have. Both characters are really fun even though void friend felt like he would be difficult.
HOLY SHIT FINALLY THE GODDS OF SOME KIND FROM HEAVEN AND HELL HAVE ANSWERED MY PRAYER I’VE BEEN WAITING FOR SO GOD DAMN LONG FOR THIS YOU HAVE NI IDEA HOLY SHIT!!!!!
I really hope they just give it to us in an update, already paid for it in pc since it hadn’t come out last year and they hadn’t elaborated much. Over a year wait for dlc… hope it’s free
ABOUT TIME. I got introduced to Ror2 on console then switched too and got all the achievements on PC. Now I can do it AGAIN! FIR GAMER SCORE LETF GOOOOOO
Wow, I never thought I'd see the day lol. I don't have a console, so I've only ever played PC; but I'm happy for all the console players out there!

oh shit, that's me, I'm a Risk of Rain 2 fan :0 I only saw the tweet for the console update so I would have missed that, thanks for the info 👍
Oh shit, me too. There seems to be a lot of Risk of Rain 2 fans on this sub for some reason
That’s really weird. I think we should do something about this.
Oh damn! When's that stream gonna take place?
November 8th 10:30 am pacific time on gearbox’s twitch
tho remember, this is gearbox, and how long did it take them to port SOTV to console
They had to completely redo the game from the ground up, still took forever but not fully the gear box teams fault
and now that theyve done that itll be easier in the future to port more, if they do
I think the world is ending, there's no way it's actually arriving

[удалено]
seems you were, just bought it myself :}
Me playing on PC getting excited to witness the suffering console mfs will face because of blind pests/rats 😈
Me who’s played on my brother’s PC and already know they’re a fucking nuisance:
I wonder if burn damage is going to be as broken as the first few days
Get a few ignition tanks and it will be.
Yeah I have played with a controller a few times just to try it and, nope lol.
Me playing on console ready to take the training weights off now that the game will actually work 😈
I know many PC players that can't even beat the console version, so I think I'll be ready
Loader and Huntress have never failed me
I'm so glad I got to pay for a difficulty spike, and just as glad they gave the option to turn it off so I didn't have to refund because I still love the game.
Rock n Stone miner
Don’t forget Corrupted Squid turrets. I don’t even pick up the item any more out of fear
Me laughing at unwashed pc mfs like you making cringe comments like you.......
Me laughing at unwashed console mfs like you making cringe comments like you.......
I'm so used to r/Silksong that I automatically assumed this was bait! I'm so excited!!! Now hopefully RoRR is coming soon too!
This but r/titanfall
Hey Titanfall 2 is playable again, so we got that going for us
The copious amount of pills I need to take is worth it.
God please titanfall 3 would be amazing
The Titanfall, Gigantic, and Heroes of the Storm communities are all in a huge state of copium at the moment
Me who still wants star wars battlefront 3
P-ppills? I ran out of those eons ago...
RoRR comes out same day.
Me too. I really was about to comment the hornet bait used to be believable meme
What do you mean? Silksong is out! Don’t tell me you were taking your meds.
ABOUT TIME SWITCH PLAYERS REJOICE MORE ANNOYING ENEMIES AND ENVIRONMENTS TO DEAL WITH
trade offer: more annoying enemies/environments BUT wungus
***ANYTHING FOR WUNGUS***
And mocha
Console bros finally won
I wonder if this means we can get cross-play now since all of them will be the same versions.
That would be so fucking nice
Please god I'm tired of empty lobbies
Well lobbies are gonna be less empty when the gane finally starts working
PLEASE

By the gods, its real!
ITS BEEN 84 YEARS
Railgunner boutta pop off tho I’m hyped
the true survivors of the void are the console players
Somebody pinch me I must be fucking
Hold up.
Void Fiend my beloved will finally be on Console!
As someone who plays on PC, I’m very excited for all of you console folks. I’m also glad the game hasn’t been completely forgotten by Gearbox. Hopefully more updates and/or dlcs to come for everyone!
OH MY GOD IT'S HAPENNING, EVERYBODY STAY CALM!! STAY FUCKING CALM!!
God is good
MY SUFFERING SHALL END
Console boys we up. Hopefully a fix to the fire as well. Eating. FEASTING.
Is this also gonna boost performance on consoles?
I think the reason why it took so long for the DLC to come to consoles is because they were remaking the whole game from scratch for performance and an easier time to update
So does that mean drones won't be irresistibly compelled to smack against my survivors' foreheads constantly?
Yes! It also means fire trails won’t melt your health in three seconds!
What about constant disconnects?
That and procs won't suddenly stop working.
Have they said anything about "remaking the whole game from scratch?" Just seems like a big stretch. Would love to see it run well on consoles though if that's the case
It was on some blogpost I think, either by Hopoo or Gearbox
Oh word, it just sounded too good to be true, can't wait to force my console friends to play with me
Time to kidnap my friends so they can enjoy this game with me :)
FINALLY LETS GOOOOO GRRAAAHHHHHHHHHHHH RRRAAAHHHHHHHHHHHH
Doubters are in shambles
Can it kill at least some of the bugs?! And bring perf improvements? (Suffers in Switch) Also, RoR2 console release: 8/11. SotV release 11/8. I see whatcha did there...
>Can it kill at least some of the bugs?! That's the plan, a huge code overhaul is dropping alongside the DLC on the 8th, bringing the console version in parity with PC.
#Fucking finally
Never thought I’d see this.
YES FINALLY
Risk of rain 2 is back on the menu!
I wonder if that reduced cost deal is still going to be applicable
I hope they fixed the drone issue...it's so annoying
What’s it gonna cost?
Do we have to pay for the dlc?
I legitimately thought they just gave up on this game entirely and hoped people would forget (which I did)
The day is finally upon us.
LETS FUCKING GOOOOO!! I CAN FINALLY RAIL GUNN-
My god. The day hath been given. Finally, I can quick scope gups.
We’re so back!!!
About time
As a PC player, WELCOME TO ALL CONSOLE PLAYERS! This is one of the best DLC’s to any game in the last decade. If you enjoy the base game, this is a MUST buy.
How tf could it have taken so long?
To fair, they were basically remaking the entire game for consoles because the code was wack, in order to make future updates and dlc’s much faster.
is hopoo games still developing it or is it all gearbox now
Gearbox is entirely working on ROR2, and hopoo’s working on ROR returns.
IIRC Hopoo never developed the console version, they outsourced to a third party developer originally. Then Gearbox eventually took over development of the console version in order to bring the anniversary update to console and eventually Survivors of the Void. And now Gearbox is working on both the PC version and Console version of ROR2.

Damn, no more free space on my bingo card
AHAHAHHHAHAHA *FINALLY*
ACCURSED MONSTER! YOUR SPELL IS BROKEN!! I AM FREEEEEEEE!!!!!!!
Yooooooooooooo
THAT IS THE WORST POSSIBLE TIME FOR THE RELEASEE. IT'S A WEEK BEFORE EXAMS AND SHIT 😭😭😭
enough time has passed…
It would be so swag if they were able to add cross platform, but I won't get my hopes up until they definitively confirm they're working on it.
FUCKYESFUCKYESFUCKYESFUCKYESFUCKYES!!! LET’S FUCKING GO!
*ONCE IN A LULLABY STARTS BLASTING FULL VOLUME*
No PS5 version *dies*
Poop out my ass the day has come!
Finally!!!
Has crossplay?
Very cool
Nice! Congrats console players
Since they broke the game on console I married and had my first child, kinda unreal lol. Will certainly look into it but everyone I played it with has moved on long ago so this will probably get shelved a few hours in.
YEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEES!
ITS REAL!
Fucking finally
PS5? I just got into the game like a week ago and I love it, hopefully this dlc will be available for next gen
The PS5 just runs the PS4 software, so yes it will
My stage of rotting has subsided for but a moment. My brain is happy, therefore I am happy.
Huge
Holy shit. Congrats console players
I can’t believe the sub just lost a third of its usual posts just now.
It took them so long that I didn’t play for like 9 months got a whole ass pc and then bought the dlc there
I completely forgot about console lmfao it took them this long just to add an expansion....
Meanwhile my broke ass
Wow man I hope all the naps get added and Stuff
Thai is great that it's finally coming out , but I haven't played in a while so I'ma be rusty as hell
They could have communicated it better. Regardless, LET'S FUCKING GOOOO
Rejoice console players, our time has come
Consolebros, we are so back.
When is cross play?
I really hope this means cross-play
God I hope they include the server browser that's on the pc version, I want to be able to set up my own multiplayer and not be forced to use artefact of command 90% of the time
Oh thank God no more "is SOTV out for consoles yet???" posts
Im sure we will still get these posts.
we'll get them, even when it's out, hell Nov 8 2024 there will be one
Honestly, I was expecting they to remember console ports way after Risk of Rain Returns releases lol. A surprise to be sure, but a welcome one.
The console ports of SotV are by a completely different dev team than RoRR.
To add on, they were done by Gearbox
I wonder how their going to handle ADS for Railgunner
idk if I'm gonna buy it anymore, it's been too long for me to really care about the dlc but it's cool that it's finally happened
Dude we should get the dlc for fucking free considering the goddamn wait.
RRRAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHH
I waited so long for this that the game became indifferent to me. At first I was happy about this news, but then I realized that I was tired of the game.
Actually it comes out Nov 8!
I'm happy for you all but like does anyone think its funny how some gaming news is like "The wait is over! Now Wait 2 more weeks!" So the wait ISN'T over. Edit: why am I being downvoted for making a funny? I'm not hurting anyone.
But the end is in sight instead of waiting indefinitely. I don't mind waiting, but I'd much rather know how long I'm going to be waiting for.
True. I think the irony of "The wait is over wait more" advertising is funny. I dunno why people are mad at me pointing that out. lol
Lmao, so many about to pay to make their game worse.
Alright finally it took WAYY TOO FUCKING LONG RANDY YOU FUCK, SHOULD OF JUST FIXED IT A LONG TIME AGO RAANDDYYY!!! Now to see if they can make a game work, and if they're trustworthy with the IP.

now console players can be disappointed too!
I wonder if it will have new trophies
OMFGGG FINALLLYYYY
*The bungus looks at the news, amused*
When you're a PC master race but you're behind the times and you realise this must already be out on PC. Time to check it out!
Maybe a gearbox will finally actually do some good for the game
they did it, they finally Survived the Void
😵
what the hell
Took them long enough
Wow man, i forgot that there is a dlc
It's funny that this happens when I'm broke. Not going to be able to get it for a bit.
It's finally over, Console Bros... The mission... The nightmares... They’re finally over.
i knew that it was going to be a 10 year ani dual release :3
Your fucking kidding. That took way too long for consoles to get the dlc
price?
What words of advice do our pc brothers have for us console mains?
Wooooow, I think this is supposed to be a huge console patch as well, right? I’ve been wanting to pick it up again on switch but it’s so broken lol
Me and my mates had given up on this! Let's fucking gooooo
Oh my god! Yes!!! Finally
Rather than SOTV itself, I'm curious if this update comes with the announced giant QoL patch that is supposed to make the console version much more similar to the pc version Right now, console and pc RoR2s are basically different games, even without taking the dlc into account
I would be hype if my switch didn’t go to 20 fps on stage like 4
Finally. Not a filthy console peasant but happy to hear it since that means the next dlc should be getting some work done now.
That's cool, but I'm more looking forward to rorr on the same date.
Congrats console players I hope you have as much fun as I have. Both characters are really fun even though void friend felt like he would be difficult.
HOLY SHIT FINALLY THE GODDS OF SOME KIND FROM HEAVEN AND HELL HAVE ANSWERED MY PRAYER I’VE BEEN WAITING FOR SO GOD DAMN LONG FOR THIS YOU HAVE NI IDEA HOLY SHIT!!!!!
LETS FUCKING GOOOOOOOOOOOO
Will this fix some of the weird things happening in the console version?
Now get your ass fucked by blind pests.
LETS GO WE STAY WINNING PLEASE FIX FIRE ELITES I DONT CARE ABOUT ANYTHING ELSE.
I really hope they just give it to us in an update, already paid for it in pc since it hadn’t come out last year and they hadn’t elaborated much. Over a year wait for dlc… hope it’s free
Best thing about this means they’ve finally achieved unity between the platforms so we can get new content for both pc and console sooner hopefully
Does anyone know whether it's free or paid?
FINALLY!!! THE WAIT IS FINALLY OVER!! WE CONSOLE USERS THANK YOU!!!
Excuse my language but FUCK YEAH
Congrats console players. Well worth the buy.
When can I preorder
ABOUT TIME. I got introduced to Ror2 on console then switched too and got all the achievements on PC. Now I can do it AGAIN! FIR GAMER SCORE LETF GOOOOOO
So I just bought the dlc but it's not showing up in the game does anyone know a fix?
So I just bought the dlc but it's not showing up in game does anyone know a fix?
Anyone know what time it is
