Is Wild West Pioneers on PS5 or PS4?

No, on either console. Wild West Pioneers came out in Early Access as a Windows game, and Toplitz Productions has not announced a PlayStation version. The video is the lead developer’s own tour of the PC game, the only version there is to look at.

PlatformStatusWhy
PC (Windows) on SteamYesOn sale now in Early Access. It is Windows only; on a Linux desktop the publisher expects crashes for now.
PlayStation 5 and PS4Not announcedNot announced for PS5 or PS4, and not on the PlayStation Store.

Does the PlayStation Store list it?

No. The PlayStation Store has no product page for it, no wishlist button, nothing to pre-order. PS4 and PS5 games share that one store, so that answers for both machines at once. PlayStation Plus is off the table for the same reason: a game has to be on the store before it can join the subscription catalogue.

What would a PlayStation version look like when it comes?

One of two things would appear first. A product or concept page on the PlayStation Store, or a post from Toplitz Productions, which publishes the game. The game’s Steam news page carries its official announcements, so that is the place to watch. A YouTube video or a store-aggregator listing on its own does not count.

Can I use a DualSense on the PC version instead?

Not in any supported way yet. Native controller support is not in the game; when a player asked for it, Toplitz replied that it is not there now but could come later. So a PC copy means playing with mouse and keyboard, whatever pad you have lying around. Steam’s own controller settings can map buttons to mouse movement, but that is a workaround you build yourself, not support from the game.

If you are thinking of getting it on PC

Check your machine against the system requirements first, then pick a store on Steam, GOG or Epic. It is an Early Access release, so read what Early Access includes and what the roadmap adds before you pay.
