WithBattleBit Remasterednow a month into release, a developer named TheLiquidHorse decided to hold an AMA and shared answers regarding the game’s future. One of those questions was whetherBattleBit Remasteredwould be ported to consoles. The response said that, right now, there are no plans to portBattleBit Remasteredto consoles. The reason why is that the team doesn’t believe it can currently “deliver the same experience” ofBattleBit Remasteredon PC.
That doesn’t mean thatBattleBit Remasteredwill never be ported to PlayStation or Xbox, however. A follow-up question asks ifBattleBit Remasteredwill ever be released on consoles. The developer responds that it is absolutely possible. It just will take “a while still.” The implication is that the developers are still 100% focused on bringingBattleBit Remasteredto its full launch on PC. A console port will have to wait until afterward.

The developer says that most of the money being made will be put back into future development. As for whyBattleBit Remasteredis such an astonishing success, the developers aren’t entirely sure why that is.
