THQ Nordic has released a pair of new videos showing players how Jagged Alliance 3 will work on PlayStation and Xbox consoles. Jagged Alliance 3 launched for PC back in July and is making its way to PlayStation 4 and 5 as well as Xbox Series X|S on November 16. Since it is a turn-based strategy game, a genre largely associated with keyboard and mouse on PC, some may be wondering how that experience will translate over to using a controller on consoles. While porting PC games that primarily use keyboard and mouse controls is nothing new it can present challenges for those unaccustomed to using console-type controllers with them.
Per THQ Nordic (via official page):
“Our strategy game of the year, Jagged Alliance 3, is arriving on consoles this November 16th. We understand that some players may wonder: how does a turn-based strategy game translate to a console experience? Is it as enjoyable with a controller, or does it feel cumbersome?”
To address these questions, we’ve put together an insightful video, offering a comprehensive look at Jagged Alliance 3’s gameplay and demonstrating precisely how it fares with a controller instead of a typical PC mouse and keyboard setup. Join us for an exciting journey into the world of tactical gaming on consoles!“
THQ Nordic is extending its 20% discount for Jagged Alliance 3 which started with the PC release. The discount brings the $59.99 MSRP down to $47.99 for PlayStation and Xbox pre-orders. PC owners interested in checking the game out can also try a free demo via Steam and can purchase there or at GOG for $44.99.
Tactical Box
Folks who missed out on getting the limited Tactical Edition now have a chance to snag its tactical box via THQ Nordic’s Vienna website for €79.99. There are only 550 of the tactical boxes available and it does not include a copy of the game.

“We have retained a few units of the highly acclaimed Jagged Alliance Tactical Edition (which sold out within a few days) for the upcoming Console release. Once again, these are being offered in a strictly limited quantity of 550 pieces. Make sure to secure yours by pre-ordering the Jagged Alliance Tactical Box.“
