Company of Heroes 3 plans to release a console edition on May 30, 2023, which is earlier than some may have expected. When it first launched, the real-time strategy game stuck to PC-only releases, meaning console players were left without an option. Company of Heroes 3 was published by Sega, developed by Relic Entertainment, and released on February 23, 2023 for PC.

Company of Heroes 3 was announced for PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X in 2022. Fans have waited for the console edition to come out, so they can join the RTS action and discover the best Factions in Company of Heroes 3. The current title had a decade-long gap between the it and the prior game, so players have eagerly awaited the new game's release.

Company of Heroes 3: Console Edition received an official release date of May 30, 2023, even though some may have expected it to release in the second half of the year. Both digital and physical copies of the game will become available for pre-order on April 25, 2023. Sega announced new features, alongside the existing Company of Heroes 3 PC features, to make it easier for console players. These include a custom UI and a feature called Full Tactical Pause.

The UI has been adjusted to match controller inputs and have it work without a mouse and keyboard, while the Full Tactical Pause feature allows players to pause the action, letting them issue more commands and handle any fast-paced situation. The precise Company of Heroes 3 release time hasn't been confirmed for consoles, but the storefronts should provide details once pre-orders begin.

The announcement of these features shows the developer's willingness to make changes and increase the accessibility of its game to a broader audience. Players have various factions to choose from, like Company of Heroes 3's British forces and US forces. Since the game offers online multiplayer, fans can expect an online mode to join friends on the same system, but the creators don't plan to add crossplay, so PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X, and PC gamers can't join each other in online matches.

Even without crossplay, players can still enjoy the various modes included in the game and play with people on their corresponding consoles. They can join PvP matches to play against friends and random people or go with PvE if they want to work together or practice. Hopefuly, these features will be enough to please console gamers.

Company of Heroes 3 is out now for PC and releases on May 30, 2023, for PS5 and Xbox Series X/S.
