Since its early access release, players of Media Molecule’s PS4 gameDreamshave whipped up a number of impressive creations, ranging from intricate video game demakes and recreationsto incredibly photorealistic breakfasts in-game.However, now that the game has exited early access and received an official release, both players and developers alike are looking to the future.
With the PlayStation 5 looming on the horizon, people have asked whetherDreamswill receive a PS5 port,or whether the game will be available on other existing platforms. In an interview with Eurogamer, developer Alex Evans assured players that there was still a large amount of post-launch content to come, and that VR support was the closest to completion.

When asked aboutDreams’next steps, Evans specifically said that PlayStation VR Support was “in the pipeline” and almost done. While talking about potentially adding multiplayer next, Evans said that Media Molecule would be providing game owners with “juicy” free updates. However, when asked about whether the VR support and multiplayer updates themselves would be free, Evans said that he wasn’t sure how the updates themselves would be “packaged.”
However, concernedDreamscreators shouldn’t be too troubled. Media Molecule is clearly not as worried about monetary gain as other developers. Evans himself stated that a “key point” surrounding the game was that creation did not have to be about “fame” or “recognition.” Rather,Dreamswas about making cool creationsand empowering its players, and the developer has clearly backed up its statements by taking seven years to perfect their game and making sure everything was “right.” It should be safe to believe Media Molecule and its potential plans to release free and paid post-launch content in equal measures.
Whether or notDreamsis a hit, no one can deny the incredible creativity behind its players. Projects like theDreamsrecreation ofStardew Valley’s Pelican Townshow clear care and enthusiasm. With more powerful hardware like VR and the PS5, creators should be able to look forward to more fascinating and intricate creation opportunities. Hopefully, the positive impact the game leaves behind will allow its community to continue flourishing, and enable Media Molecule to fulfill its ambitious post-launch content plan.
