Console players can rejoice, because after a long wait, TFP has announced that the game will finally be available in its current state on consoles in the summer of 2024.
7 DAYS TO DIE Update Coming Soon! Scum Rated For Ps5 Xbox! Dayz Next Update! Return To Moria Steam/Xbox
There are currently no release dates set, but the developers plan to release it a few weeks after 7 Days to Die 1.0 officially launches on PC. While I play PC, I know a lot of people who have been waiting for the game to be live on console, so hopefully there won’t be any major delays.
7DYD did have a previous Legacy version for console. However, that version hasn't been updated in years and instead TFP decided to work on a new version due to hardware differences. While the game will now be so much better and up to date with the PC version (which will get all future updates possible on console), it's a shame that anyone who owns the Legacy version will now have to repurchase 7 Days to Die.
There seems to be a discount in the works, so hopefully that will ease the transition to the new console edition. Also, if you already own the Legacy version, you can still play that, but it will be removed from stores once the new version launches.
