On October 5, 2026, Aion 2 was released in the West, exclusively on PC. But what about Xbox and PS5? We will tell you what is known about the console version of the MMORPG.
Is Aion 2 coming to Xbox and PS5? The short answer: Not for now.
The longer answer: NCSoft is reportedly already working on a console port of the MMORPG. The developers mentioned this in a Japanese interview in July 2026. Note that there was specifically a question about a PS5 implementation. The Xbox was not a topic due to the geographical proximity to Sony.
There is no possible release timeframe for the console port. However, the developers want to provide this as soon as possible and not keep potential interested parties waiting too long.
Does Aion 2 have controller support? The already released versions from Korea and Taiwan can be controlled with a controller, and the upcoming Steam version of Aion 2 also supports controller control. However, it has been read that there was some criticism in the home market regarding the implementation, as the buttons on the controller cannot be easily reassigned.
What about the mobile version? In Korea and Taiwan, Aion 2 has been released not only on PC but also for mobile devices. In the West, however, NCSoft wants to focus on the PC community and not release the MMORPG for mobile.
Aion 2: Cross-Play and Cross-Progression
Are cross-play or cross-progression planned? We will probably find out only when there are official details about the console versions of Aion 2. However, the chances are good that NCSoft will support both. In Korea and Taiwan, the PC and mobile versions of Aion 2 support both cross-play and cross-progression.
- What is cross-play again? You can play with your friends even if you are on different platforms.
- What is cross-progression? Your progress is linked to your account and you can switch between different platforms at any time.
What kind of MMORPG is Aion 2? Aion 2 is a new theme park MMORPG from NCSoft that will be released with a free-to-play model at the end of September or the beginning of October in the West. It offers primarily a wide range of PvE content but also comes with some optional PvP challenges.
