Jump Space to Launch on PS5 in Q1 2027
Keepsake Games' co-op space shooter, formerly Jump Ship, will arrive on PlayStation 5 without crossplay at launch.
Updated on Nov. 9, 2026 in Gaming
Keepsake Games has confirmed that Jump Space will launch on PlayStation 5 in Q1 2027, during a special announcement stream. The PS5 version will not support crossplay at launch, though the developers have said crossplay is on their checklist.
Why it matters
The PS5 release extends a title that has been available on PC via Steam since 2025 to a new console audience. The absence of crossplay at launch means players on different platforms will not be able to play together initially.
Jump Space is a mission-based co-op PvE space shooter for 1-4 players that supports solo play, with around 86% positive player reviews on Steam. The exact PS5 launch date within Q1 2027 and the timing of any crossplay support have not been announced.
The players
Keepsake Games
Keepsake Games is the independent studio developing Jump Space, a co-op PvE space shooter formerly known as Jump Ship.
The details
Players explore regions in search of loot through spaceship dogfights and on-foot encounters. Keepsake Games had previously said the console port would launch alongside the 1.0 release, and the game remains in early access on PC.
Timeline
December 2026: A major update is planned for Jump Space.
Q1 2027: Jump Space is set to launch on PlayStation 5.
2025: Jump Space became available on PC via Steam.
All of 2027: Early access and content updates are expected to continue.
Platform Expansion
Jump Space follows the path of games that build audiences through Steam early access before moving to consoles. Its PS5 launch will test whether the title's PC-era player base carries over to a platform where crossplay is not yet available.
PlayStation 5 owners will be able to play Jump Space in Q1 2027, but at launch they will not be able to team up with PC players. Players who want to play with friends across platforms should wait for crossplay support, which the developers have said is on their checklist.
The takeaway
Console players should plan around a Q1 2027 launch window and note that crossplay is not available at release. Following the developer's December 2026 update will help track when multiplayer options may expand.
What happens next
Keepsake Games plans a major update in December 2026, ahead of the expected Q1 2027 PS5 launch.
