Company of Heroes 3 Console Version

Those playing Company of Heroes 3 on consoles, we have some bad news for you. Relic Entertainment has confirmed that moving forward, the game will not be getting anymore updates from the studio, though regular server maintenance will be conducted.

This announcement was made where Relic mentioned that ceasing support for the console version is being done because the studio is now independent, and as such, no longer have access to resources they had it in the past.

Going independent is incredibly exciting for us. It presents us with new challenges and opportunities that the team is eager to tackle in the coming years. However, being independent also means we no longer have access to certain resources that we had in the past, which leaves us with some difficult decisions. One of those decisions is that moving forward, we will no longer be releasing further updates for the Company of Heroes 3 Console Edition. The team will still conduct regular server maintenance and, if need be, make any critical game fixes should an issue arise in the future. This was an incredibly difficult decision to make, but one we felt was necessary for our future success given the new reality we find ourselves in. The CoH3 Console Edition will remain available for any players that wish to play it on PlayStation 5 or Xbox Series X or S.

This is definitely a bummer. Speaking of updates, the game had its last console update today, and it’s a pretty minor fix.

As for the PC version, players can expect the 1.7.0 update in June, which will bring with it the following:

  • Enhanced and redesigned abilities on two units per Faction
  • A new 4v4 map for all modes
  • Italian Campaign Map improvements
  • Towing & Vehicle improvements
  • And much more

Aside from that, patches 1.8.0 and 1.9.0 are also planned for PC.
