Until Dawn 2 Launches January 28 on PS5 at £45 in the UK

Sony has announced that Until Dawn 2 will launch on PS5 on January 28, as stated in the PlayStation.Blog announcement. According to Push Square, the game will be priced at £45 in the UK, which is lower than expected.

This date aligns with the timeline Sony provided earlier. The sequel was revealed on June 3, 2026, with a projected launch window in 2027. So, January 28, 2027, gives the game about eight months from its announcement to its release.

The £45 price tag is the biggest surprise here. Push Square pointed out that it undercuts expectations, which is noteworthy since many major PS5 titles have been priced higher. We don’t have information on US or other regional pricing yet, leaving the overall picture incomplete.

Game News Plus has shared a roundup that includes details about the release date, editions, price, and preorders. However, the information we have doesn’t specify what each edition includes or any preorder bonuses. We’ll wait for Sony to confirm those details.

The original Until Dawn serves as a good benchmark for this franchise’s performance on another platform. Its PC version launched on October 4, 2024, and is priced at $59.99 on Steam. The game has received an 82% positive rating based on 3,013 reviews, which is solid, though the player count is relatively low at 255 concurrent players as of now.

None of the sources mentioned a PC version for the sequel. The announcement only covers PS5, leaving any potential PC plans unconfirmed for now.

Community Pulse

Feedback on the original PC release has been mostly negative, largely due to technical issues. One reviewer on Steam mentioned: “Soft locked on Chapter 6. An NPC is standing blocking a hallway needed to progress the chapter. He won’t move, follow, let me push through him, or reset when I reload.” This complaint reflects several of the 10 sentiment signals we tracked, so consider it as one data point rather than a broader trend. Still, bugs that halt progress during a first playthrough will definitely make players cautious before they preorder the sequel.

What To Watch

• Edition and preorder details: Sony hasn’t confirmed what distinguishes the editions or what bonuses come with a preorder.
• Global pricing: The £45 figure for the UK is the only price we have. We need US and European prices to see if the discount applies elsewhere.
• Platform plans and launch stability: Keep an eye out for any PC announcements and whether the sequel can avoid the progression bugs seen in the original’s PC port.
