I then spent a lot of time in 2013’s Company of Heroes 2, playing co-op online with mates. My experiences with the Company of Heroes series go back to the launch of the original game in 2006, when the game came shipped with a new graphics card I bought at the time. The words ‘at launch’ still leaves things open for interpretation, but I am told that present plans are for a mix of free content drops, as well as premium content packs via first party stores. I saw this was a big issue for the PC version, but I am glad to see none of that in this console edition. One big thing I need to mention up front is that there is no in-game store on this console edition at launch. Graphically though, I had to settle for the lesser quality performance mode as the 4k resolution mode, while looking fantastic, just didn’t feel the same playing at 30fps which is a shame. I am pleasantly surprised at how simple and intuitive it was to use the Xbox controller, and the tactical pause feature was also a great addition.

I have been reviewing the game on Xbox Series X and I was apprehensive about how the game would play using a controller considering how intense these games can be using mouse/keyboard.

The game is coming to Xbox Series X/S and PlayStation 4/5 in the form of Company of Heroes 3 Console Edition that launches on May 30, 2023. Company of Heroes 3 is an RTS from Relic Entertainment and SEGA, and originally launched on PC on February 24, 2023.
