War Thunder On PS4 Out Now

War Thunder Multiplatform Aviation Fun  

June 5th, 2014 By Maya Mayfield

One of the first things Gaijin Studio's decided to do when creating War Thunder was to develop the title for multiple platforms. With this thought process in mind, Gaijin built War Thunder as an online game, capturing a strong base of players across PC and Mac systems at launch.

Now with the release of War Thunder on PlayStation 4, Gaijin are finally able to realize the full extent of their vision as both PS4, PC and Mac gamers can enjoy all the features available for everyone, (with user created content being the only exception to the rule). Players can even create squads of four people, battling together with their buddies regardless of which console or platform they play it with in  co-op mode.

Apart from a few minor adjustments to War Thunder's interface, we hardly noticed any difference from the PS4, Mac and PC versions. The playStation 4's version also features a USB keyboard or mouse plug and play function instead of the DualShock4, for those who wish to play it that way. Utilizing the PS Camera functionality, Gaijin has developed it to keep track of head movements, which is extremely essential in fast paced dogfights.

The new ground forces expansion pack is also a great addition to the aviation element of the game, as other players can assist or attack your progress by controlling anti air tank missiles. War Thunder boasts a whopping 400 hundred historically accurate planes and armored vehicles with more to come soon.  PS4 owners can also take advantage of the exclusive "Invader" content which includes US attack plane A-26C-45 Invader, along with other great gameplay bonuses.
