When is the next Update for the Console Edition? 

Our aim is to catch up the Company of Heroes 3 Console Edition to Steel Shepherd by the Spring of 2024. Certain PC specific features and pieces of content will not be coming to the Console Edition, and we will have details on what is, and is not, included in early 2024. What this means is that the Company of Heroes Console Edition should receive the Emerald Bear, Umber Wasp, and Steel Shepherd updates all at once by the Spring of 2024.
