Sackboy: A Big Adventure will be coming to PC on 27th October 2022, it’s been confirmed by the presumably accidental early release of the announcement trailer by PlayStation Latin America.
The character trailer is still live on the PlayStation Latin America, announcing that pre-orders are now live ahead of the 27th October launch, but then with links to Steam and Epic Games Store that are not yet live. Someone pressed the go button at the wrong time!
Sackboy: A Big Adventure will be joining a flourishing catalogue of PlayStation first party titles that have been ported across to PC. It’s coming out around the same time as Uncharted: Legacy of Thieves’ own PC port, just a couple months after Spider-Man Remastered and with Spider-Man Miles Morales and The Last of Us Part I both expected in the coming months as well.
Originally released alongside the PlayStation 5 in 2020, Sackboy: A Big Adventure checked the box as the most family friendly launch title for the new console. Of course, it was a cross-gen release that also landed on PS4, aiming to reach as many families as possible this winter with all the charms of the main LittleBigPlanet series.
It breaks out of LBP’s side-scrolling platforming in favour of more 3D platforming with a real focus on multiplayer through the open level design and wider camera angle. Retaining the series’ charming tone and with some wonderfully fun and inventive, it earnt a solid 7/10 in our Sackboy: A Big Adventure review. I wrote:
“Sackboy: A Big Adventure starts off slow, feeling like a hollow reflection of the franchise, but eventually grows into its new 3D platforming elements. It’s at its best when it blends the new with the old, when there’s power-ups, side-scrolling and a meaningful challenge, but it takes a bit too long to get it together.”
