The MechWarrior series (and BattleTech) games are a Microsoft Franchise. Naturally, this means that the titles are exclusive to Windows PCs and Xbox Consoles. However, this wasn't always the case. There was a time when PlayStation owners could enjoy these games.
To give you an idea, the last time when you could play anything related to BattleTech on a PlayStation console was back in 1997 with Activision's MechWarrior 2: Arcade Combat Edition on the original PlayStation. Since then, the series has spawned numerous sequels and none have been available on a PlayStation console - until now.
More than two decades later, BattleTech fans can finally play a new game on the PlayStation 4 and PlayStation 5 consoles.
