PlayStation 5 players feel completely scammed and abandoned by Funcom

Conan Exiles PlayStation Discussion
1

I am a veteran player who spent years investing both time and money into Conan Exiles on PlayStation. I endured years of game-breaking bugs, constant stutters, lag-switching, and unplayable official PvP servers, always hoping the developers would eventually fix the technical debt of the game.

Discovering that Funcom used the money from our Battle Passes and Crom Coins to fund an exclusive Unreal Engine 5 upgrade for PC, while leaving PS5 players completely abandoned in a frozen “maintenance mode,” is an absolute disgrace and an insult to your console player base.

You ruined the core identity of the game with the Sorcery update and Isle of Siptah, and now you completely walk away from the platform that funded your growth. This absolute lack of respect and transparency has completely destroyed your credibility. Many of us will make sure to never buy a Funcom game again, including Dune: Awakening. You completely neglected the community that kept your game alive.

I saw it has a lot of bugs. I forgot it’s Funcom, but they also abandoned PS5.

Not very likely that it will change anything, but you could vote here Petition to bring CEE to console, Epic Games, Microsoft Store on PC and / or sign here Online petition for console

I do feel for PS5 players. I also spend a great portion of my time playing on PS5 even though I play on PC as well. PS5 players never even got the next gen upgrade Xbox players received. Making it the PS5 version the worst version of the game.

That said, I believe it’s now inevitable UE5 comes to PS5. It has been a great success, with player numbers reaching highs not seen since Age of Sorcery. Once the game is in a stable place on PC they will turn their attention to the console ports.

It will come to other platform’s when they fix and polish it on Steam. atm steam is the most easiest platform to polish bugs and fixes and they said its not worth to thin their team out on all platform’s to deal with the same bugs. To push a hotfix on Playstation requires approval from Playstation and then it is also questionable whether Playstation will accept it. As of now, it is easier to fix Conan on Steam and only then release them on other platforms

It was never released for the PS5. We have always been playing the last gen PS4 version. The Enhanced PS5 version that Dennis had been hyping for years never arrived. Xbox Series X got theirs in 2021 I believe. I have zero reason to believe they will update consoles. They are bragging about 40,000 concurrent PC players. That is their focus now.

As a PS5 players, they’ve ignored our pleas for years. No reason they will start listening now. They’ve ignored rendering issues, skin issues, exploits, glitches and bugs. The fact they turned on decay timers without telling us should tell you all you need to know.

I’ve logged in twice since the announcement. To reset decay timers. This is the longest I’ve gone without playing since launch.

The hype about a new update coming and the drop of all the new Bazaar items felt like something big was coming. It was. For someone else.

I’ve had years and years of fun in this game and for that I’m grateful, but it feels like we were just cast aside. It is what it is.
