UBOAT, the critically acclaimed submarine survival simulator, is finally setting sail on PlayStation 5. Launching on 17 September 2025, the game brings its immersive World War II experience to console players for the first time.

What makes UBOAT unique

UBOAT Surfaces on PlayStation 5 This September 1

Unlike many World War II games that focus on fast-paced combat, UBOAT is more of a survival sandbox and simulation. Players must manage every aspect of life on board: from the morale and wellbeing of the crew to the maintenance of the submarine itself. Every decision has consequences, whether it’s rationing supplies, repairing critical systems mid-battle, or making moral choices that affect the story’s outcome. The game offers a dynamic open world where no two patrols feel the same.

Improved graphics, faster load times, and haptic feedback through the DualSense controller promise a deeper level of immersion. Console players will also enjoy the benefit of updated controls tailored for gamepad use, making the complex submarine systems accessible without sacrificing depth. The developers have confirmed that all post-launch updates from the PC version will be included, ensuring PlayStation fans experience the definitive edition of the game.
