Physical preorders for PS5 and Xbox Series X went live earlier this month at Amazon for $50, but now the price has dropped to $40, which matches the list price for the PC version. Amazon, Best Buy, and GameStop are all selling System Shock preorders for $40.
You can preorder the atmospheric first-person shooter for $50 on PS5 and Xbox Series X at Amazon right now.
System Shock remake console preorders

Developed by Nightdive Studios, this remake of System Shock is a fascinating blend of the old-school gameplay of the ’90s filtered through a modern design lens. It has the same aesthetics as the original, but developer Looking Glass Studios had access to Unreal Engine software. Anyone who played the original System Shock will be at home with this remake, as this version of the game will awaken some nostalgic muscle memory with its emphasis on stealth, inventory management, and keeping a low profile when dealing with homicidal cyborgs guided by a malevolent AI.
