World War Z hits PS5 and Xbox Series X/S this month with exclusive content

World War Z: Aftermath will be released for PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X/S on January 24, Saber Interactive has announced.

PS4 and Xbox One players who already own the latest edition of the co-op zombie shooter will be offered a free upgrade to the new-gen version, which runs in 4K resolution at 60 frames per second.

The title will be released alongside a new mode that’s exclusive to PS5, Xbox Series X/S and PC.

“Horde Mode XL follows the same rules as the game’s standard Horde Mode, with a devilish twist — scattered among the normal waves of enemies will be a special XL wave bursting with over 1,000 hungry zombies,” Saber said.

World War Z: Aftermath and World War Z players on all platforms barring Nintendo Switch will also receive a free update on January 24 that adds mutators into the standard Horde Mode Z, as well as new weapons and a revamped weapon progression system.
