Steam Game with ‘Overwhelmingly Positive’ Reviews is Coming to PS5

After selling almost 1.5 million copies and receiving very positive reviews on Steam, the game Contraband Police is coming to PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X|S on November 7th. In Contraband Police, you’ll experience the engaging and challenging job of a border patrol officer, where your choices really matter.

Similar to the gameplay of Papers, Please, Contraband Police is winning praise for how realistic and easy-to-understand its systems are. Players carefully check documents and vehicles at the border of a fictional communist country in the 1980s, and must solve puzzle-like challenges involving smuggling, corruption, and forged papers. Your choices in Contraband Police actually change the game world, giving your actions real consequences.

Contraband Police Console Release

To celebrate Contraband Police nearing 1.5 million downloads on Steam, Crazy Rocks and PlayWay have announced it will be available on consoles November 7th. Players and critics alike praise the game for its realistic tension, created by combining careful document checks, vehicle inspections, and occasional shooting action. You’ll manage border crossings by enforcing regulations, finding smuggled goods, engaging in police chases, and keeping your station running smoothly. The game offers tools like UV lights and defensive upgrades to help you succeed, and just like a real job, Contraband Police gives you freedom in how you handle each situation and complete every inspection.

When Contraband Police launches on consoles, a special Collector’s Edition will also be available for pre-order starting November 6th. This edition includes a hand-painted 20cm figure, a unique box designed like a smuggler’s crate, an in-game map poster, an Acaristani flag, a duty handbook, a game magnet, exclusive downloadable content, and the PC version of the game with the Crimson Fall DLC. Both the standard and Collector’s Editions on PS5 and Xbox Series X|S will include all the updates from the PC version, like Inspector Mode and Challenge Mode, plus new weapons, improvements to gameplay, and future content. If you enjoy puzzle-solving games with exciting action and a focus on realistic skills, Contraband Police is worth checking out.

Over the past few years, many small, independent games on Steam have become incredibly popular, with Contraband Police being a recent example of a title achieving huge sales and getting released on consoles. It’s still uncertain if Contraband Police will be equally successful with PlayStation and Xbox players, but its proven popularity and positive feedback suggest it has a good chance of doing well on these new platforms.
