*R.E.P.O.*, the co-op horror game that launched in February, has captured the hearts of over 200,000 PC gamers. However, fans eager to know if *R.E.P.O.* will make its way to consoles are in for a wait. As of now, *R.E.P.O.* remains a PC-exclusive title, with no confirmed plans from its developer, semiwork, to bring it to other platforms.
Semiwork is currently focused on refining the game's multiplayer experience, which is central to *R.E.P.O.*'s gameplay. They are grappling with a significant challenge: enhancing the multiplayer mechanics while preventing the game from becoming a breeding ground for cheats. The developer has expressed concerns about implementing an anti-cheat system, which could disrupt the experience for modders. "The main issue with matchmaking lobbies is hackers. But the issue with an anti-cheat system is that you're ruining the experience for everyone who has made mods, because mods don't work with an anti-cheat system. And we don't want that," the dev explained, as reported by PCGamer.
While other PC-only games like *Mouthwashing* have successfully transitioned to consoles, they differ from *R.E.P.O.* in that they are single-player experiences, making the transition less complicated. Similarly, titles like *Lethal Company* and *Content Warning*, which share a similar theme of evading monsters, have stayed PC-exclusive. Last year, the developers of *Content Warning* hinted at a potential console release, but technical hurdles have since stalled any progress.
Therefore, the current stance from semiwork suggests that *R.E.P.O.* will likely remain a PC-only game as they continue to prioritize and perfect its multiplayer features. For those interested in exploring more of *R.E.P.O.*, check out our guide on how to access the Secret Shop within the game.
