One of the most acclaimed games that has been released on Steam this year should finally be coming to PlayStation, Xbox, and Nintendo Switch platforms. By all accounts, 2024 has been a strong year for those on PC as releases like Helldivers 2, Palworld, Manor Lords, and Hades II have given Steam users more than enough to keep themselves busy. Fortunately, for those who play exclusively on consoles, it now looks like one of the biggest hits of the year on Steam should soon be getting a series of new ports. 

Spotted by Gematsu, the 2D indie action game Nine Sols has recently been rated for PS5, PS4, Xbox Series X/S, Xbox One, and Nintendo Switch in Taiwan. Released back in May, Nine Sols comes from developer Red Candle Games and is inspired heavily by FromSoftware's Sekiro: Shadows Die Twice. Currently, Nine Sols is exclusive to Steam, but this listing indicates that such exclusivity won't last much longer. 

While it might not be the most well-known game on Steam, Nine Sols has been extremely well-received by everyone who has played it. Currently, the action title boasts an impressive "Overwhelmingly Positive" rating on Steam, which is the highest such rating that the PC platform can designate to a game. On Metacritic, Nine Sols also boasts a strong 83/100 aggregate review score, which further proves that this action game is worth paying attention to. 

For now, it's not known exactly when Nine Sols will be coming to consoles as Red Candle Games hasn't made any official announcements. Still, ratings leaks of this nature are almost always accurate, which means that a reveal for new platforms should come about eventually. Until that time, if you're unfamiliar with Nine Sols and would like to learn more, you can get a look at the game's official trailer and synopsis below.
