For those lucky enough to have already obtained a PS5, you can now play Temtem Early Access on this new console!

Since the release, (imo) there has been quite an underwhelming amount of games that have been made specifically for this new gaming mega-giant. For most PS5 owners, it comes down to playing old PlayStation 4 & 3 games that have either had minor adjustments for the game itself, or just a basic port of the original game. Very few games have been optimized to meet the standards of the PlayStation 5. Surprisingly enough, the developers of Temtem have decided to bring their game to the next gen machine, fully upgraded and ready to go today!

A bit about Temtem

For those that missed the major hype, Temtem is a creature collection game much in the style of the Pokemon series. However, one thing that Temtem boasts over Pokemon is a fully functioning online multiplayer mode. This was the feature that put Temtem at the top of gaming headlines for some time. By using a feature that should have been in the Pokemon series from the start, Temtem carved itself a spot in the heart of many creature collection fans.

The only thing that stopped Temtem from being the next big thing was the developers inability to keep the game up to gamers standards, i.e. bug fixes, server issues and content updates. These days the player base struggles to stay above 1,000 players, which may have a bit to do with their porting to the PS5. Given how promising the game truly is, this may just be the thing that finally puts Temtem where it could have been all along, in the hall of fame for creature collection games.
