Co-op games remain a major draw for console players, especially titles built around repeatable missions, shared progression, and chaotic team coordination. PS5 owners will soon have another option in that space: Keepsake Games has confirmed that Jump Space is scheduled to arrive on PlayStation 5 during the first quarter of 2027.
A PC Early Access Game Heads to PlayStation
Jump Space, previously known as Jump Ship, has been available through Steam since 2025 as an early access release. The game has received roughly 86% positive user reviews on the platform at the time of the announcement. Keepsake Games is now planning to bring the title to PS5 before its full 1.0 launch, a change from its earlier expectation that the console version would arrive only once early access had concluded.
What Players Do in Jump Space
The game is a mission-based sci-fi PvE shooter for one to four players. Crews pilot a spaceship across different areas, searching for loot while dealing with both space combat and first-person encounters on foot. Progression includes obtaining larger ships, improving equipment, and upgrading ship systems. Teamwork is central to the experience: players may need to repair critical components or extinguish cockpit fires while under pressure from hostile alien machines.
Crossplay Will Not Be Ready on Day One
Keepsake Games said the PS5 version is expected within four months of its announcement stream and also outlined a major update planned for December 2026. However, crossplay will not be included when the PlayStation version launches. The studio has indicated that cross-platform support remains on its development checklist, but it has not confirmed a date for that feature. Players can already add Jump Space to their PlayStation Store wishlist.
Key points
- Jump Space is planned for PS5 in Q1 2027.
- The game supports solo play and co-op for up to four players.
- It has been in Steam early access since 2025.
- Crossplay is planned for later, not at the PS5 launch.

Expert View
Launching on PS5 before version 1.0 signals that Keepsake Games sees value in building its console community while development continues. The lack of crossplay at release may limit the combined player pool initially, particularly for a game designed around crew roles, but a later crossplay rollout could make matchmaking and long-term co-op groups more sustainable across platforms.
