Conan Exiles Enhanced on PS5 and Xbox: Free Upgrade, Saves and Cross-Play

Conan Exiles Enhanced is coming to PS5 and Xbox Series X|S in early 2027, with a free upgrade for existing PlayStation and Xbox owners. Funcom’s October 27 announcement puts full cross-play after launch. A final release date has not been announced.

Read the save-transfer cases below before converting an existing game. The upgrade’s cost and the safety of an old save are separate questions.

Console upgrade: the key facts

The free offer concerns owners upgrading their existing game. Funcom has not announced that Conan Exiles is becoming free-to-play. On PlayStation, Funcom confirms that buying either the PS4 or PS5 version also grants the other. Its console FAQ describes Enhanced as a separate game from Legacy, with either version granting both within the relevant console platform.

Funcom’s migration FAQ distinguishes three cases:

Back up only where your console permits it. Detailed preparation instructions for players and private-server hosts are still forthcoming; no universal recovery method has been confirmed.

Purchases, Crom Coins and staying on Legacy

Crom Coins, Bazaar items, DLC and Twitch Drops carry into Enhanced. Purchases made there do not transfer backward to Legacy.

Legacy keeps single-player/private-server play and critical bug fixes, but loses official servers, the Bazaar and major new content. Coins cease working in Legacy; Funcom advises players staying there to spend existing currency before transition. Players moving to Enhanced retain it.

What does Enhanced change?

The publisher’s console release describes improved environments, characters, lighting and effects, a redesigned interface and performance and quality-of-life changes. It combines the Exiled Lands and Siptah into a more connected experience, while keeping the expansion separately sold. These are announced improvements, rather than results from our own console testing.

The PlayStation announcement also confirms Legacy of the Giant-Kings content at console launch. Separately, Funcom dates Part Three for November 10, 2026. That story update is not the 2027 console release date.

Enhanced already launched on Steam on May 5, 2026. The October press release’s reference to May 2025 conflicts with that contemporaneous launch post and the console FAQ; May 2026 is the supported PC date.
