The Wolf Among Us Remastered on PS5

The Wolf Among Us Remastered is available on PS5. It launched on October 29, 2026 at $24.99, discounted to $19.99 during the launch promotion, and it is sold as a digital download on the PlayStation Store. There is no PS5 disc yet; the physical release is promised for later in the holiday season.

Sony's store lists the PS5 and PS4 versions as separate products rather than a single cross-generation entitlement. That matters more than usual here, because Telltale has not announced a free upgrade path between them. If you buy the PS4 version expecting a PS5 licence, check the product page's wording before paying.

PS5 vs PS4: what is different

The resolution and frame-rate rows are the reason to care. The remaster rebuilds models and lighting, and those assets only pay off at higher resolutions; on PS4 the game is essentially the 2013 presentation with cleaner textures. On PS5 it reads as a current-generation release, with the noir lighting doing most of the heavy lifting.

Load times are the second real difference. The Wolf Among Us cuts between scenes constantly — apartment to office to bar — and those transitions were the original's worst technical habit. Running from an SSD removes most of the waiting.

Does the PS5 version have a platinum trophy?

Yes. The remaster ships with a full trophy list including a platinum, following the original's structure: one platinum for finishing all five episodes, gold trophies for episode completions, and silver and bronze trophies for specific choices and actions. The list is separate from the PS4 version, so the two stacks can be earned independently if you own both.

Trophy hunters should know that the choice-based trophies are missable in a single run — several require picking a specific option in a scene you cannot replay without restarting the episode. The trophy guide maps the missable ones and the chapter select points.

Is there a PS5 upgrade from PS4?

No free upgrade has been announced. The two versions are sold separately, and owning one does not currently discount the other. That is different from the owner discount for the 2013 original, which is a separate offer tied to your PSN account's ownership history.

If you already own the 2013 PS3 or PS4 release, check the PS5 store page while signed in. The owner offer can appear as a reduced price rather than a coupon, and it may stack with the launch promotion. The price page explains how the offer works on each platform.

How it runs on PS5

The remaster targets 60 FPS on PS5 and hits it for most of the runtime. The exceptions are the usual ones for Telltale games: quick-time action sequences with heavy particle effects, and the transition into a new scene, where the frame rate can dip briefly before settling.

There is no performance/quality toggle. The game picks its settings automatically, and the only display option is Noir Mode. HDR is supported on compatible displays, and the black-and-white mode benefits from it more than the colour version does.

The DualSense is used for standard rumble. There are no adaptive trigger sequences and no haptic-specific collectibles, so do not buy the PS5 version expecting Astro's Playroom-style feedback.

PS5 vs PC

Both versions cost the same at launch and include identical content. The differences are practical:

• Mods: the PC version has a modding scene for save editing and cosmetic tweaks. The PS5 version has none.
• Storefront: PC players can choose Steam or Epic. PS5 players are locked to PSN, which also means PSN's regional pricing.
• Portability: neither is portable, but the PS5 version works with Remote Play, which is a reasonable way to play an episodic game on a laptop.
• Trophies vs achievements: the PS5 trophy list is generally the more satisfying completion, because the platinum gives the season a clean finish.

If you own both a PS5 and a capable PC, the PC version is the safer long-term buy thanks to sales, mods and the ability to toggle Noir Mode with a key. If your PC is old, PS5 is the smoother experience.

Buying the right version

Three things to check before checkout:

1. Platform label. The PlayStation Store page must say PS5, not PS4. Buying the PS4 version by mistake is the most common error this week.
2. Edition. There is one digital edition. No deluxe version, no season pass, no pre-order bonus that changes content.
3. Owner discount. If you own the 2013 game on the same PSN account, the price may already be reduced. Do not stack a gift card on top until you see the final total.

The physical edition, when it arrives, will likely be a PS5 disc with the same content. Telltale has not confirmed whether it includes a download code for the bonus material or ships everything on the disc.

FAQ

Is The Wolf Among Us Remastered on PS5?

Yes. It released digitally on October 29, 2026, and runs at higher resolution and a steadier frame rate than the PS4 version.

How much does it cost on PS5?

$24.99 at list price, or $19.99 during the launch promotion. Owners of the 2013 release may see a further discount.

Bottom line

The PS5 version is the best console way to play the remaster: 60 FPS, fast loads, a full trophy list and the same $19.99 launch price as everywhere else. Buy it if you want the story on a television; buy the PC version if you want mods and cheaper sales later. Either way, start with the release date page for unlock timing and the walkthrough when you are ready to open the case.
