Wild Arms 4 will soon be available on both PS4 and PS5, giving fans a chance to play the 2005 PS2 classic again. Sony says the game will be added to the PlayStation Plus Premium Game Catalog in April 2026, with subscribers able to start playing on April 21. According to Siliconera, the game will work on both consoles, but the PlayStation Blog has not said if it will also be sold separately on the PlayStation Store.
With Wild Arms 4 now arriving, all four main games in the Wild Arms JRPG series can be played on current PlayStation consoles. The first three games are already available: Wild Arms 3 costs $14.99 on PS4, and the first and second games are each $9.99 on both PS4 and PS5. Wild Arms 4 will be added to the PlayStation Plus Premium catalog, and a separate store release is expected on the same day.
What to expect from Wild Arms 4 on PS4 and PS5
Wild Arms 4 follows Jude, whose hometown is attacked by a group called the Congressional Knights. In the chaos, Jude rescues a captive girl named Yulie and sees his friend Arnaud being mistreated. He fights back, frees Yulie, and tries to protect his family. After the area falls to the surface of the planet Filgaia, Jude, Yulie, and Arnaud set out to uncover the truth and face their enemies. Sony has also announced that the PS4 and PS5 versions of Wild Arms 4 will include several modern quality-of-life improvements.
- Quick save functionality: Save your progress at any moment without needing to find a save point.
- Rewind feature: Reverse time to correct mistakes or retry difficult sections.
- Upscaling: Improved visual presentation for modern displays.
Sony has not said if the crashing and freezing problems from the original PS2 release have been fixed in this version. Players who want a bug-free experience might have to wait for updates or feedback after launch.
Wild Arms 4 is coming to PlayStation Plus Premium, which costs $17.99 a month. You’ll also be able to buy it separately on the PlayStation Store when it launches. The game first came out on PlayStation 2 in 2005 and hasn’t been easy to play on newer consoles until now.
In conclusion, Wild Arms 4 will be released for PS4 and PS5 on April 21, 2026. This classic PS2 JRPG comes to modern consoles with quick saves, rewind, and upscaling. However, players should watch out for possible performance issues from the original version.
