The trend changed with Europa Universalis IV, which hit the Microsoft Store on Xbox on April 12, 2019. The grand strategy game is recognized for its large scale and intricate mechanics, where players have to go through various menus, tabs, and layers of data. The combination of these styles of gameplay can be handled easily on a mouse-and-keyboard setup. However, the official EU5 Steam page and in-game menu don't mention any controller support.

Stellaris is another grand strategy game by Paradox Interactive, which is available on PS5 and PS4 consoles. This opens up a slight possibility that Europa Universalis 5 could come to PS5. Doing so would be a developmental challenge for the makers of the game, but it could help them expand beyond their PC-only audience.

Players might see Europa 5 coming to consoles like PS5 in the near future, considering that Paradox titles tend to have a long life cycle. The Europa games have a long list of DLC and expansions, which would give the developers enough time to optimize the PC version and potentially develop a console port for PS5. That said, readers should note that this is merely speculation on our part at this point.
