The Ascent looks set for PS5 and PS4 after ESRB listing spotted

Upgrades.

The Ascent looks set for launch on PlayStation 5 and PlayStation 4 soon.

Gematsu spotted a listing for The Ascent on the website of the Entertainment Software Rating Board (ESRB). This follows a similar listing spotted last month in Taiwan. I imagine an announcement isn't too far off.

Here's the Digital Foundry video breakdown for The Ascent, tested on all Xbox consoles - and PC.

The Ascent, which launched first on PC and Xbox in July, is a cyberpunk-themed action role-playing game developed by Swedish outfit Neon Giant.

I had a good time with the game, despite some glaring technical issues Neon Giant spent the second half of last year sorting out. The Ascent is incredibly detailed - so much so that it even stands up in first-person.
