It looks like Quantum Error, the horror first-person shooter title by TeamKill Media, won’t be getting a PS4 version anymore, though a PC version seems to be in the works. Quantum Error’s PS4 version was scrapped as it required too much work in downgrading and changing assets, among other things.
The statement comes a few months after the devs stated that they would not sacrifice the PS5 version of the game to bring it to PS4. Here’s the full tweet from the official Quantum Error Twitter account:
Unfortunately, we are going to have to cancel the PS4 version of QE. Even with the game being made from the beginning for the PS5, we still had hopes we could make a PS4 version happen, but with the level of quality we have achieved with QE with gameplay running at 60fps, we have reach the conclusion that there is no way for us to deliver a version on PS4 that would live up to what the PS5 is going to deliver. A PS4 version would require too much downgrading and changing of assets, lighting and much more to function, and with the difference in memory and the slower HDD speed, it would be a very different experience that will not compare to the PS5 version and would not be fair to PS4 players.

A couple of replies to comments in the tweet also reveal a couple of things. Firstly, a PC version of Quantum Error is being worked on, though the devs don’t have a solid timeline for it just yet.
No not at launch, we don’t know when a pc port will be done.

Another reply also revealed that an Xbox One version of the game was never in the works, which meant that the game would only be available via the PS4 for last-gen consoles had it been continued.
There was never a Xbox one version.

Finally, when asked about a release date for Quantum Error, the account replied that there would be one announced “very soon.”
We should have a date very soon 😎
