Frontier have released the first gameplay for Planet Zoo: Console Edition, showing how the game will play with a controller, after its years on PC, check it out.

This is the second game in the Planet series that has made the jump to consoles, with Planet Coaster getting a console edition a few years ago now.

Aspiring zookeepers can hone their skills across four compelling game modes (Career, Franchise, Challenge, and Sandbox) as they maintain animal welfare, keep guests happy, and organise staff to maximise success.

For those looking to get creative, players can create the zoo of their dreams using a wide range of scenery inspired by zoos in regions across the globe, from the misty mountains of East Asia to the vibrance of African plains. Powerful tools provide countless ways to shape the terrain into stunning environments – dig lakes and rivers, raise hills and mountains, and carve paths and caves to create magnificent landscapes.

And of course, the animals take centre-stage, with over 70 detailed species arriving with the base-game at launch, each brought to life in authentic detail with unique animations and social behaviours. From tigers to tarantulas, the in-game Zoopedia provides a wealth of fascinating facts on every animal, helping players cater to their specific needs so they can truly thrive.

The game is out now for PC, but those wanting to play on a controller, can do so on March 26th when the game hits PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X|S.
