Mewgenics has arrived on PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X/S, and Nintendo Switch 2, bringing its unique cat-breeding tactical roguelike experience to console players seven months after its initial Steam debut. This release matters because it expands the game's accessibility to a broader audience of console gamers who prefer physical media or dedicated gaming hardware over PC setups. Players can now dive into the turn-based combat and genetic breeding mechanics on their preferred platform without waiting for a PC port.
Nicalis brings the cat-breeding roguelike to consoles today
Published by Nicalis, the game retains the distinctive art style and strategic depth that defined its early access run on Steam. The console versions feature the same core gameplay loop where players manage a team of cats, breed them for better stats, and fight through tactical encounters. This adaptation ensures that the mechanical integrity of the original PC release remains intact for new audiences.
The digital versions of the game are available immediately for $39.99 across the PlayStation Store, Xbox Games Store, and Nintendo eShop. For collectors who prefer physical copies, the game is priced at $49.99 for PlayStation 5 and Nintendo Switch 2 editions. These physical releases are scheduled to hit shelves in the first quarter of 2027, giving buyers ample time to plan their purchases.
Early performance metrics from the Steam version indicate strong player engagement, with the game selling over one million copies in its first week. It currently holds a Metacritic score of 88, reflecting positive reception from critics and players alike.
