What was announced for PS5?
World’s Edge announced the two PS5 releases on February 4, 2025. The original announcement gave a firm date for Age of Mythology: Retold and a seasonal release window for Age of Empires II: Definitive Edition. Read the official PlayStation 5 announcement.
| Game | PS5 timing announced | Accompanying content noted |
|---|---|---|
| Age of Mythology: Retold | March 4, 2025 | Immortal Pillars, an expansion introducing the Chinese pantheon, new maps, myth units, and gameplay features. |
| Age of Empires II: Definitive Edition | Spring 2025 | The announcement previewed contemporaneous DLC, including new content and civilizations for Ranked play, but did not name the later expansion in its PS5 debut section. |
How do the two PS5 releases differ?
Age of Mythology: Retold
This is the mythology-focused entry in the pair. Its PS5 announcement was tied to Immortal Pillars, which adds the Chinese pantheon alongside maps, myth units, and gameplay features. The publisher said the PS5 version would have the same content available on Xbox and PC at the time of the announcement.
Age of Empires II: Definitive Edition
This is the historical real-time strategy entry. Its PS5 announcement described a spring 2025 debut and previewed DLC with new content and civilizations for Ranked play. The announcement did not specify the DLC expansion’s name in the section about the PS5 debut.

What did the announcement say about cross-play and updates?
World’s Edge said the games would support cross-play and that players on the platforms could play together. It also said updates from March 4, 2025 onward would go to Steam, Windows Store, Xbox, and PlayStation 5 simultaneously. These are statements from the February 2025 announcement; they should not be read as fresh confirmation of every feature or platform detail today.
Were both games released on PS5?
Yes. In an official update published December 9, 2025, Age of Empires reported that both Age of Empires II: Definitive Edition and Age of Mythology: Retold had been released on PS5. The update also cited more than 70 million players across the Age franchise worldwide; that is a franchise-wide figure, not sales or player counts for either PS5 release.
