A new Kingdom Come: Deliverance leak has given an idea of what players can expect from its PlayStation 5 version. Kingdom Come: Deliverance fans have been hoping for a PS5 upgrade to happen, and this is one more indication that it's on its way.
Kingdom Come: Deliverance originally released back in 2018, and only recently received a sequel in the form of Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2 in early 2025. The original game launched for PS4, Xbox One, PC, and later on, Nintendo Switch, but still lacks a native PS5 version. Leaks have previously indicated that a PS5 version of Kingdom Come: Deliverance is in the works, though nothing has been confirmed by official channels. Given the source of this new leak, however, it's looking pretty certain that the game's PS5 version could be nearly ready for players.

Kingdom Come: Deliverance PlayStation 5 Version Leaks
A PS5 version of Kingdom Come: Deliverance has now been effectively leaked by the PlayStation store itself. Initially spotted on the Italian PlayStation Store and later on the British PlayStation store, the listing has revealed some improvements that are being included. The game is getting a visual tune-up as one might expect, which upgrades the game to 4K resolution, improves its frame rate, and adds high-resolution textures, among "many more" graphical updates. The listing notably stated "Medieval Bohemia has never been so beautiful." Additionally, there have been some small changes made to the artwork of the game, which likely indicates it will release with revised cover art. Since the initial leak, the store listings have been reverted to their original version.
However, a lot of questions remain about the upcoming PS5 version. No release date or window was included in the store listings, leaving players wondering when they will finally be able to play Kingdom Come: Deliverance with the full capabilities of the PlayStation 5. It's also unclear if owners of the existing PS4 version of Kingdom Come: Deliverance will be able to upgrade for free or at a reduced price. Rumors about this version of the game have been circulating since mid-2025, with one of the most recent hints landing just prior to The Game Awards at the end of the year. Gamers were excited when the official Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2 Twitter account reacted to players wondering if a current-gen version was on the way with a side-eye emoji. Some believed it indicated that the game would get a PS5 reveal during The Game Awards, but that didn't happen.
Fans of the games seem to be excited about the PS5 version of the game apparently getting one step closer to releasing. While many have said that Kingdom Come: Deliverance still holds up even now, the original console version has a limited frame rate, so seeing the game at 60 FPS is something a lot of fans are excited about. However, some have also expressed hope that the game will see some improvements that go beyond graphical fidelity. Some have pointed to performance issues and bugs with the game that they previously experienced on the PS4, while others have voiced hope for changes to combat and lockpicking. However, nothing has emerged from this most recent leak regarding changes to the title's inherent gameplay.
Releasing Kingdom Come: Deliverance for PS5 now will likely draw in a lot of players who have now played the sequel, but not the origin of the series. Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2 sold very well compared to its predecessor, reaching 2 million copies sold within its first month on the market. Gamers who missed out on the original and didn't want to go back to last-gen graphics may be eager to play it on the PlayStation 5. Some have also expressed hope that with its arrival on PS5, Kingdom Come: Deliverance could be getting the same treatment on Xbox Series consoles and the Nintendo Switch 2. With the PlayStation store already leaking an update, there may be little time left before players get confirmation from the developer itself.
