Mage Arena has quickly gained steam among PC players, which has left many console players wondering what lies ahead for them.
It's not uncommon that many video games are typically released on PC (and especially when they're out on early access). This is more common for indie games, and Mage Arena falls into that category. However, many games also get a console port later down the line.
Let's find out what information we have for this game's potential console launch in the future.

Is Mage Arena available on Xbox or PS5?
As of writing on Aug. 2, the popular indie title is exclusively available on PC. In simpler words, the game is neither present on Xbox nor on PlayStation. This includes both generations of consoles for the respective brands, and the only way to play Mage Arena is by buying and downloading it on Steam.
Incidentally, the game is also unavailable for the Nintendo Switch, and there are no plans for a Switch 2 port anytime soon. The same also applies to the game's current availability on mobile devices. If you find any mobile game with a similar/identical name, it's better to avoid them as they're fake.
Will Mage Arena release on consoles?
As of writing, there's no official statement about Mage Arena never coming to consoles. Hence, there's always a possibility for a console port later down the line, but the chances are low. 2025 has certainly been a year of indie hits. We got Schedule 1 in the spring, followed by PEAK in the summer.
Both these games have done remarkably well in terms of sales. They have been viral hits among the PC community and sold over a million copies each. However, developing a console port is an expensive affair, and more so if different platforms are the target. Mage Arena, like the two other games mentioned here, is priced low, and it's unlikely that there is a budget in place for their console release.
Additionally, the targeting system used in the game will be slightly difficult to adapt for consoles (but that's quite possible). Ultimately, it will be down to the financial numbers rather than the technical aspects if we are to get a console port for the game.
