SpongeBob SquarePants: The Cosmic Shake Coming To PS5 And Xbox Series X|S In October

THQ Nordic has announced that SpongeBob SquarePants: The Cosmic Shake will launch for PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X|S on October 16. Additionally, all platforms--including PC, PS4, Nintendo Switch, and Xbox One--will receive a free update that will include a bevy of new features, such as Photo Mode.

The photo mode will allow players to choose between 19 different filters and apply them to their pictures. There are new costumes as well--the King Doubloon costume can be unlocked by collecting all doubloons and the Plush Gary costume is available when unlocking all rewards.

For the PlayStation 5 version specifically, the game will support DualSense controller features. For example, there will be audio output when picking up items and adaptive triggers will activate when using reef blower and swinging hook actions.

The update will also fix some general bugs, as well as rare instances where the save function stopped working entirely and when playtime didn't pause while on the loading screen.

SpongeBob SquarePants: The Cosmic Shake was first released this year on January 31. In GameSpot's SpongeBob SquarePants: The Cosmic Shake review, we said, "If you have no reverence or appreciation for SpongeBob, whether it be the old games or the cartoon, The Cosmic Shake likely won't appeal to you. But for those of us who love SpongeBob, the Cosmic Shake is a great time with some old friends."
