- Future roadmap for the game, in order to add more content and recover from the rough start according players.
- Breakdown of future roadmap updates and what they aim at fixing.
Developer Liquid Swords has just confirmed that the console versions of Samson are currently slated for a Fall 2026 release. While the exact platforms are unconfirmed at this time, it’s very likely that Samson‘s console ports will include PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X/S versions at the very least.
Samson Comes to Consoles This Fall
But despite the negative reception, Samson‘s developers aren’t giving up just yet. In a recent Steam community post, Liquid Swords posted a new, updated 2026 roadmap for Samson. Coming right at the end of that current roadmap is console launch, which is currently slated for Fall 2026. Though this is a positive update for Samson‘s console ports, it’s currently unconfirmed exactly which consoles Samson will be coming to, or when exactly they’ll be arriving in the Fall.
Whatever happens, its anticipated that there will be some significant interest when the game arrives on consoles later in 2026, and its potential to succeed on Xbox & PS5 (and maybe Switch 2) depends entirely on how it evolves over the coming months.
Samson’s 2026 Roadmap Explained
Before Samson‘s console launch this Fall, this game is set to receive a plethora of updates. Samson has already received two sizable post-launch patches, both of which brought sweeping changes to the game that range from general stability improvements to combat refinements and even the inclusion of new tutorials that better explain specific melee and driving mechanics.
According to this recent Steam community update, Samson will receive its third post-launch update on April 22. Along with an assortment of bug squashes and general fixes, Samson‘s April 22 update is said to bring more combat improvements, new car variants, vehicle tuning updates for keyboard, time trial refinements, and more performance optimization, among other additions and tweaks. Samson‘s fourth update will then arrive a week later, on April 29, and will focus on specific issues highlighted by community feedback on top of general performance and gameplay improvements. Developer Liquid Swords plans to continue this weekly rollout of Samson updates for the foreseeable future, with a May 9 update already listed in the most recent roadmap.
Two major content updates are also planned to release over the next few months, with a “mid May” update said to bring new combat-focused content to Samson, and a “mid June” update said to add new vehicle-focused content. In theory, by the time Samson releases on consoles this Fall, it should have received at least 10 post-launch patches and at least two content updates. The third update coming on April 22nd brings major quality of life improvements across the board. Combat refinements lead the charge, with new car variants expanding vehicle options and keyboard vehicle tuning updates making car handling more accessible.
The update also introduces a “Damage Taken” system affecting players, NPCs, and vehicles, alongside a walk button for keyboard users and time trial refinement. Performance optimization and bug fixes round out the patch. Vehicle tuning has been one of the most common complaints about the game’s launch in early access. There are a lot of missions that want players to do time trials, alongside ramming people with their car. Some of the chase scenes online show how bad the tuning can be, with cars drifting into lights, walls, and other obstacles, thanks to how hard it is to steer and control your car.
Wrapping Up
Given that GTA 6 release date is in the fall on consoles, its up against some serious competition. Wishing them the best convincing them a game described as GTA-like to get sales around November, if that’s when they do launch. September or very early October seems like the best release window if fall is indeed the studio aim.
