GTA-Like Action Game Samson Is Coming to PS5, But We're Much Less Excited Now

"We're correcting it almost daily". Back in January, we said Sony “must move mountains” to get Samson: A Tyndalston Story on the PS5. After a 51 rating for the PC version on Metacritic, we’re not so sure. But the game is coming this September anyway, as confirmed in an interview with The Game Business.

Samson Dev Announces Console Release Window For 2026, Likely Including Xbox

"We can confirm that Samson is planned to launch on consoles this fall". There's been a lot of talk about Samson recently - the Steam game that racked up a ton of attention prior to its release, but then struggled to live up to the hype with "Mixed" reviews when it launched a week ago. Nevertheless, the developer hasn't waited around to push out a significant 2026 roadmap, promising lots of improvements over the coming weeks in particular. They've now announced a Fall 2026 release window for the

Samson may come stocked with an impressively detailed sandbox, but it’s totally impossible to recommend in its current state.

Samson Has One Thing That GTA Doesn’t: Consequences

Samson may be a budget GTA clone, but its unique roguelike-ish structure means it has a deeper sense of consequence than any of Rockstar's crime stories.

'Samson' And 'Xbox' Have Been Trending This Week, But It's Off To A Rough Start On PC

The reviews have been surprisingly poor. A few weeks ago, we mentioned a game called Samson that was potentially getting an Xbox version, and how it seemed to be getting a serious amount of hype ahead of its release on April 8th. Well, we're now on April 9th, and the first reviews for Samson on PC have been surprisingly rough so far. It has a "Mixed" rating on Steam as things stand, while its Metacritic rating is a lowly 48 at the time of writing. Read the full article on purexbox.com

Our Hype for Samson on PS5 Crashes as GTA-Like Gets Slammed by Reviews

Damn, son. Sandbox action game Samson first caught our eye back in January, with an announcement trailer that immediately had us sold on the Grand Theft Auto-style experience.

Samson devs announce big patch to start fixing its "unacceptable" launch bugs, and boy am I glad to see it'll add in multiple saves

As you may be aware if you read myself and Julian's Samson verdict the other day, the launch version of the gritty minor crim simulator included plenty of bugs - ranging from the harmlessly janky to the debilitatingly playthrough-breaking. The good news is that developers Liquid Swords are on the case, with studio creative director and long-time Just Cause lead Christofer Sundberg having announced that a big patch is due before the week is out.

RPS Verdict: In its best moments, Samson is like a goon-battering GTA 4 roleplay mod, but in its worst it's horribly broken

While Rockstar continue to delay GTA 6, there's at least one developer out there with the guts to release their open-world crime 'em up. In Samson you slip into the well-worn getaway driver shoes of the eponymous hero as he takes illicit jobs to earn off a debt to the crime family holding his sister hostage. Made by a team led by Just Cause and Mad Max lead Christofer Sundberg, does Samson capture the explosive magic of Avalanche's games? Julian and Mark have been tearing up the streets of Tynda
