Rumor: Cuphead Listed But Not Accessible On Some UK/EU PSN Stores

Wario has tweeted out an image showing the Cuphead game icons on PSN, potentially revealing the game will soon be released on PSN.

[medman]

Interesting....

[UltraNova]

Possible announcement on the next PS show maybe? Personally I'm not that interested in this type of game but I can see the appeal. I can't wait for Mortal Shell though!

[SullysCigar]

They'll whack it out for free on PS Plus at some point, I'd bet. They have done that in the past with games that were timed exclusive on Xbox. Think of it as an apology and getting the last laugh lol

[ActualWhiteMan]

Game is a masterpiece and is a ton of fun with a friend.

[UltraNova]

Just announced, it's available right now on PS store.

[neomahi]

No. Not for a game like that whose intent was to stick it to PlayStation however they could. Sony's show time is reserved for developers that support and uphold Sony's vision.

[darthv72]

And with it coming to PS4 then that likely means LRG will press some physical versions.

MDHR has said they were thinking of releasing physical after DLC is done but the delay could put a damper on that.

[lukasmain]

Welcome to the PS4 CupHead. You've finally made it to the top of the mountain. Enjoy the view.

[lonewolf10]

It's already been to the top with PC, on its way back down the mountain now.

[lonewolf10]

@Thatsushitho

Ha ha.

[cooperdnizzle]

Keep dreaming PC has never been the top. Not matter what you PC elist think its still a small market when it comes to games. Not to mention half the games you get are ports that kinda suck, and cheap cheap indi games. I own a gaming pc have for years, all my buddies are getting into it now, me i'm sick and tired of always having to battle to get games to work properly. I would rather just set down and play! That's why I don't game on pc anymore. Don't want to fight a pc before i have to play a game.

[rlow1]

Lol, that was well said.

@copperdnizzle

"Not to mention half the games you get are ports"

The irony of that in an article about getting a game already released on other systems.

[DarXyde]

Is there any difference between these versions?

Hard to call anything better if they run identically.

[AmUnRa]

Yeah they would be stupid to rule out 110 mil. potential costumers😉

[darthv72]

Number of units sold is not equal to the actual number of people who own them. I have 8 PS4 systems in my home... that doesnt mean I will be buying this game 8 times. And I know Im not the only one with multiples of a platform.

[cluclap]

@darth why tf do you have 8 ps4's?

[darthv72]

@clu, my kids have their own and I have 6 different variants. I use a pro for the most part but I love buying the different themed systems.

[MrBeatdown]

@darth

And there are homes where a PS4 is shared.

In fact, it seems far more likely that two potential customers share a system, than a single customer owning multiple.

[knickstr]

Played it on switch. That last level was just sadistic. I can see why they antagonist is the devil in this game.

[shabz666]

omg i beat that level only coz it glitched out, and i dont care, i will take that victory shamelessly

[nix]

I will pray for miracles like that.

[rlow1]

Been there with some games in the past... Lol

[Magatsuhi]

I don't understand why a third party dev would ever decide to go Xbox exclusive... It's as if they don't want money.

[Christopher]

Most third party games go exclusive to save money on development and target the majority audience or because they are provided funding to exclude one or more competitors. Being this is their very first game, going to have to say it was a bit of both, but definitely money involved as it was not allowed on PS4 for s specific amount of time.

[FallenAngel1984]

Because Microsoft backed the game 😑

That’s like asking why did Guacamelee initially release as a PlayStation exclusive

[Dragonscale]

Money.

[franwex]

They actually do want money-hence why they do it....

[DanielEndurance]

Watch the sequel be a PS5 exclusive...

[RgR]

Mmmm. Okay. Do you mean the 3rd installment?

[waderae]

sequel... hes right... your both right :)

sequel
/ˈsiːkw(ə)l/
noun
a published, broadcast, or recorded work that continues the story or develops the theme of an earlier one.

[Godmars290]

Would explain the DLC that never - has yet to - came out.

[Tedakin]

DLC is allegedly coming out tomorrow too. Leaked on Xbox store.

[Tedakin]

Downvote why exactly?

[TGGJustin]

Webarchive shows that the DLC picture on the Xbox store has been there a long time. Not confirmed at all

[sprinterboy]

I'm playstation fella but scratching my head why the disagrees. That's why the agree and disagree buttons are pointless.
You are correct MS store has available now for cuphead dlc and I'm guessing the indie summer gamefest event at 4pm UK time today will announce the cuphead for ps4.

[Bathyj]

Ooo, always wanted to try this. That and Ori.

[Redemption-64]

Same here, I will truly love that

[Bathyj]

I'd love Ori too but that's probably impossible.

[DarXyde]

Both were fantastic games, but I personally preferred Ori.

Cuphead is bloody brilliant, but it's going to push your buttons. It's not impossibly hard, but have another controller handy.

I played it on Xbox One, but I imagine that you can probably get Cuphead to run easily on a laptop or PC that isn't a potato.

[Petebloodyonion]

I really hope so.
Cup Head is a real gem and a love letter to the contra games of old.
There's so many memorable bosses battles, my favorite one are King Dice, and Ribby and Croaks (because they mimic Street fighters)
I wish we had some news regarding the DLC.

really great news.

[Petebloodyonion]

I guess I have my fan club of haters always disagreeing with my comments lol.
Man, you wish that the story is true so more ppl can try this great game and I have only disagreed.

[Mr Logic]

Any word on that DLC they showed forever ago?

[Tedakin]

Coming out tomorrow too allegedly. Leaked on Xbox store.

[TGGJustin]

Nope that's an old picture on the Xbox store. Already been debunked.

[RgR]

Oh please be true...I wish Ori came also.

[VerminSC]

I’d certainly buy it! I have an Xbox but it rarely gets used. I rather keep my collection in one place.

[ocelot07]

Well it's Tuesday. Apparently Knightly has a big surprise in a few hours about a indie dev. Ps store updates on Tuesdays. Plus dlc is suppose to available later as well.

[masterfox]

yikes!, didn't expected this one bit, very nice if true, Cuphead is a stunning unique original game.

[SamTheGamer]

This is a fantastic game and very hard to play 😩 Nice that everyone can enjoy this

[HyperMoused]

Enjoy the rage and controller breaking PS people, truly is a good game, but...the rage

[lukasmain]

That sounds like a challenge. I'm going to Platinum this game baby.

[mastaleep]

All the best to you and yes it will be a challenge.

[ziggurcat]

Hope you have a few spare controllers lying around... or a few extra TVs...

[ziggurcat]

Yeah, it was pretty frustrating at times. It's a proud 1000G on my list. If this is true, and not a ruse, I'll see if I have the patience to plat this on PS, but I have been a lot less motivated to play games that are exceedingly frustrating. Bought Sekiro on release, for example, and haven't even touched it yet :(

[Elda]

Sekiro is fun & with a little patience,you can overcome the obstacles.

[ziggurcat]

I'm a soulsborne vet, but haven't been in the mood to have my ass handed to me over, and over again haha.

[LoveSpuds]

I have played both, Sekiro is nowhere near as infuriating as Cuphead in my opinion. You should play Sekiro mate, it really is an astounding game. It's funny, all the way through my playthrough of Tsushima (plat earned last night) I was thinking 'I really want to play Sekiro after I finish this'. I will be back on it tonight, maybe I'll add another platinum to the collection?

[BlaqMagiq1]

If this is true can't wait!

[Elda]

If true a pass.

[East76lands]

I really want to play this game so hopefully it comes to PS Now.

[Everythingnerdy39]

Hope it's true ,heard amazing things about cuphead

[HannibalLecter]

What's funny is this 3 year old article about Cup Head "NEVER" coming to PlayStation as the devs said it's an xbox exclusive. Also they say take a look at a game you will never play if your not on Xbox.
Funny how things change sometimes.
https://www.eteknix.com/cup...

[FallenAngel1984]

Stranger things have happened

https://gadgets.ndtv.com/ga...

Let’s not act like devs going back on their statement is something new

[LoveSpuds]

I wonder how much of Sega's decision was based on just how surprised they were by Zero and Kiwami's success this generation. I don't find it hard to believe that at one time they genuinely didn't have plans to go multi platform, but a huge rise in popularity and interest in the west changed their minds.

[HannibalLecter]

Lol no one said it's anything new or that stranger things haven't happened. Just made a statement about how funny it is that there was an article stating the devs said "NEVER" on PlayStation.
Nothing more and nothing less.

But yet you choose a sega franchise coming to xbox as an example of stranger things happening.
Go figure
I do not think PlayStation paid for or invested in these Yakuza games in the same way.
But not really important just weird you would compare apples to oranges.

[darthv72]

So what. Things change. There were lots of previously exclusive titles that were later released to other platforms within the same gen. Its nothing new nor will it be the last.

[HannibalLecter]

Never said it was.
I mean this cup head thing is just like let's say No Man Sky. Heavily funded by PlayStation but ended up on other platforms as well. No big deal but also don't remember them saying NEVER will be on another system like the devs of Cup Head said. That's all. Like I said no big deal and like you said Darth. So what..
Sure made you react though. :)

[DeadManMMX]

Man that’s awesome. Now any PS4 only people can enjoy a great game. I wonder how hard it is to Platinum. I mean it can’t be Meatboy hard.

[garos82]

nice, this looked amazing when it came out on xbox and pc. id by this on ps4 no doubt

[garos82]

i cant wait to experience that tutorial level that "journalists" struggled with

[Father__Merrin]

Found cup head far too frustrating TBH mabey I've not the same reflexes as I used to

[sprinterboy]

Cuphead available now on psn store, confirmed from the devs on indie gamefest

[Godmars290]

So much for "rumor": PSN just put up a Youtube lets play.

[AmUnRa]

Update: is has released in the PS store😉

[neomahi]

Isn't it funny how diehard and adament they are about it's an Xbox Exclusive and never going anywhere else? Why games don't stay exclusive to PlayStation is beyond me, where the PS4 has been selling so well, but Xbox sales have been suffering. This timed exclusive stuff is b.s., they either keep it exclusive or multiplatform, don't screw with our heads.

[franwex]

Same thing with No Man’s Sky. I think Sony even funded that game.

Can’t really blame the developers though. If the contract expires why not port it and get extra money? Both Cup Head and No Man’s Sky are not my cup of tea though-but to the people waiting-enjoy.

[XiNatsuDragnel]

If true then yikes and I'm hyped for this game

[P_Bomb]

It’s up now. $26.99 CAD?! Game’s old guys. Try launching day and date next time. Hard pass at that price.

[ziggurcat]

I got one of those vouchers, so I only paid $12 :)

[P_Bomb]

Oh shoot, the $15 right? Nice! At $12 yeah, I’d jump in.

[ziggurcat]

Yeah, after years of nothing, they sent me the 10th anniversary voucher. Knee deep in GoT right now, but I bought Cuphead at basically 50-60% off retail.

FWIW, though, Cuphead is worth the $27 CAD.
