Beyond a Steel Sky has been delayed on consoles, but not everywhere

Microids and Revolution Software have announced that the console release of Beyond a Steel Sky has been delay, but only in certain regions.

In a statement released on Twitter, publisher Microids explained that the delay was due to “worldwide logistical issues and constraints beyond our control”, which is hardly a common reason for delay due to COVID-19 nearly two years ago.

Oddly enough, this delay is very region-specific, with different territories getting their console versions of Beyond a Steel Sky at very different times. Here’s a rundown of when and where Beyond a Steel Sky was released:

• UK
  • Nintendo Switch – Digital – November 30
  • PS4, PS5, Xbox One, Xbox Series X | S, Nintendo Switch – Digital and Physical – December 7

• North America
  • Nintendo Switch – Digital – December 7
  • PS4, PS5, Xbox One, Xbox Series X | S, Nintendo Switch – Digital and Physical – December 14

• Australia and New Zealand

  • PS4, PS5, Xbox One, Xbox Series X | S, Nintendo Switch – Physical – December 17

• Europe
  • PS4, PS5, Xbox One, Xbox Series X | S, Nintendo Switch – Digital and Physical – November 30
