It Looks Like Goat Simulator Is Getting A Remaster For PS5, Xbox Series And PC

If someone asked you to name the one video game in history you’d most like to see remastered for modern hardware, out of everything else, and you said “Goat Simulator,” I have potentially good news for you. Spotted on Taiwan’s video games rating portal, Gematsu has shared evidence of what looks to be an upcoming remaster of the game for PS5, Xbox Series X|S and PC.

If real, and the rating is visible right here which suggests it probably is, it’s certainly an interesting choice. The game originally launched over 10 years ago in April 2014, and gained viral status by virtue of being intentionally janky and broken so it’s hard to imagine much benefit in remastering it other than the opportunity to sell it again. Of course, there’s every chance this could also be a brand-new title or something else entirely, given the series’ penchant for playing with naming conventions after calling the second game Goat Simulator 3.

As an added wrinkle, the company associated with the game in this filing is Mad Dog, LLC, which has previously published games together with Saber Interactive (now known as Beacon Interactive). The original Goat Simulator, along with its sequel, was developed by Coffee Stain Studios, which remains under the care of Embracer Group. Mad Dog’s limited credits include games like Ghostbusters: The Video Game – Remastered, NBA Playgrounds and its most recent credit, World War Z: Aftermath all the way back in 2021.

We gave Goat Simulator’s sequel, Goat Simulator 3, a very solid 8/10 in our review back in 2022, with James saying, “Goat Simulator 3 is a remarkable improvement on the original in practically every way, with a great variety of gear to wreak havoc with. While the attempt to introduce a story mode is satisfactory at best, the dedication to offering fun and robust multiplayer modes easily elevates Goat Simulator 3 to be greater than the sum of its parts.”
