Is Mortal Shell II on PS5?

Current status

Mortal Shell II released on PS5 on August 20, 2026, together with PC (Steam) and Xbox. The official announcement confirms the game is "now available digitally worldwide on Steam, PlayStation 5, and Xbox." The Devout Edition's 72-hour Advance Access ran from August 17, 2026, and the free "Open Beta" item on the PlayStation store is no longer active.

Mortal Shell II is a standalone sequel to Mortal Shell that significantly expands on the original with faster and unforgiving combat, deeper weapon design with extensive upgrade options, and an emphasis on free exploration within a compact open-world.

PS5 price and editions

Per the PlayStation Store, "Mortal Shell II: Devout Edition features the base game as well as an exclusive Obsidian skin set for all eight playable Shells." The Devout Upgrade add-on is cosmetic-only, and pricing matches the Xbox and Steam stores.

A physical PS5 edition also exists. Shortly after launch, Kotaku reported that "PS5 Physical Editions Of Mortal Shell 2 Are Selling Out And Players Are Telling Sony To Take Note". That report was captured as a headline only and was not independently verified in our research.

What reviewers say about the PS5 version

Push Square (professional review, August 18, 2026): "Mortal Shell 2 is an expanded soulslike sequel that packs a lot into a focused experience. It took me just 30 hours to roll credits, but across that time I explored multiple biomes, fought dozens of bosses, and delved into an abundance of dungeons." The review identifies the playable godling as Lavendar, and concludes "overall this is a brilliant new addition to the genre and, by all accounts, a far improved sequel."

Kotaku (professional review, August 18, 2026, no score system): "You should play Mortal Shell II because it might... be conjuring something from a nether dimension with too many consonants to feasibly pronounce. The reward for the experience is the experience itself..." Push Square's numeric score was not captured in our research, so none is listed here.
