Yes. Paradox lists PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X|S versions alongside PC, macOS and Linux (Steam, Epic Games Store and GOG), all releasing on September 29, 2026. There is no PS4 or Xbox One version in the official platform list.

Mods are not PC-only. The official FAQ says the game supports mods on all platforms through its integrated mod browser, backed by mod.io rather than a console store. Urban Games' highlights blog also mentions mouse and keyboard support on consoles.
