Plants vs Zombies: Garden Warfare Dev Explains Lack of PS4 Support

The Garden Warfare team just wasn’t big enough to launch on every console under the sun.

Plants vs Zombies: Garden Warfare producer Brian Lindley understands that his team can’t do it all. PopCap Games isn’t exactly staffed to launch massive console games on a handful of platforms, so when it came down to which machines Garden Warfare was going to launch on, Microsoft’s options just made the most sense.

"We're kind of a small team,” he admitted to OXM. “We're not really staffed to launch on five or six platforms at the same time, so we really needed to focus on just a couple of platforms to start with, and the relationship with Microsoft has made those choices easier for us.

"We have a lot of experience with the Xbox platforms. Our primary development platforms at first were the Xbox 360 and PC. And I think as EA's relationship with Microsoft has grown and improved, it was just a natural migration for us to go from PC and Xbox 360 to Xbox One."

The game’s been delayed by a week, but it looks as if Garden Warfare is shaping up to be a unique, competitive take on an otherwise casual title.
