GTA 6 Competitor Confirms PS5, Xbox Launch After PC Debut

Samson launched on PC earlier this month and met a mixed reception. Critics and players highlighted widespread technical issues and awkward controls.

Reception and early scores

The game holds a Metascore of 50 and a User Score of 5.4. These numbers reflect a tepid response from both press and players.

Many reviewers noted the title’s promise but criticised its execution. Problems ranged from frequent bugs to inconsistent combat mechanics.

Critic impressions

SteamDeckHQ said the game shows clear potential when systems function properly. However, they reported too many frustrating moments caused by glitches and control issues.

WCCFTech questioned the value at launch, calling the price unjustified while core problems remain. These early reactions underline why patches are now a priority.

Story and gameplay focus

Samson follows its namesake as he returns to Tyndalston. He faces dangerous debts and a sister held as leverage.

The game diverges from traditional shooter design. It emphasises brawler-style combat and vehicular action instead of gunplay.

Patches and upcoming content

Developers have committed to weekly updates through May. These patches aim to fix bugs and refine gameplay systems.

Updates three to six will target combat refinements, new car variants, performance optimisation, and community-driven fixes. A combat-focused expansion is due in mid May.

Further content for the game’s vehicular systems is planned for June. Specific details about that update remain limited.

Console plans and platform questions

Liquid Swords announced Samson will arrive on consoles later this year. The studio did not specify which platforms will be supported.

Given industry expectations, many assume a PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X/S release. Filmogaz.com reached out to Liquid Swords to ask about platform details and the Nintendo Switch 2.

A company representative could not confirm which consoles will be included. The ambiguity leaves the timing and platforms uncertain.

Positioning versus bigger franchises

Samson was once discussed as a GTA 6 competitor by some observers. The developer’s console plans may aim to broaden the title’s audience after its PC debut.

Liquid Swords says it will continue improving Samson post-launch. If patches deliver meaningful fixes, the console release could be more appealing. Filmogaz.com will monitor progress and report further updates.
