Wizards of the Coast is planning to release its digital Magic: The Gathering game on consoles later this year. During Hasbro’s quarterly conference call, Hasbro CEO Chris Cocks announced that Magic: The Gathering Arena would likely be released on consoles sometime in 2023. A Steam version of the game is also expected to be released later this year. No other details about which consoles Magic: The Gathering Arena would come to were provided. The rather offhand announcement represents a major expansion for the digital version of Magic: The Gathering, which remains the most popular collectible card game in the world. Currently, Magic: The Gathering Arena can be downloaded directly from Wizards’ website for use on PC and Mac computers and can be downloaded via the Apple App and Google Play Store for Android and iOS devices. Assumably, the console versions will include crossplay similar to the other versions of the game, although this also wasn’t confirmed during the call.
