Sifu is a beat ’em up action-adventure game that will be available for Microsoft Windows and PS4/5 that has been developed by Sloclap. The developers are responsible for the well-known action role-playing game, Absolver. Sifu shares a similar flowing combat style, with an emphasis on kung fu, and features a wide-variety of unique attacks that can be chained together.
Update 2
It looks like a fix has been put in place, but not everyone is having luck with it currently. If you are among this group of players, you can try one of the solutions that was posted by the developers at Slocap on Reddit:
Update: For people who are still having troubles, we got communicated 2 potential fixes:
1/ Go to settings > Users and Accounts > Other > Restore Licences
2/ Get any other games or DLC available through your PS+ Account, start downloading it, then try downloading Sifu again.
The PlayStation teams have told us the early access issue is now resolved, and the game can now be downloaded! Again, we’re very sorry to all players who were hoping to play earlier today, we’ll have an exclusive gift for all Deluxe edition holders to share with you soon !
We have been trying to figure out what was the issue as soon as it appeared. The early access setup has been done quite a while ago on the PlayStation store, and everything looked ready for today’s release on our end. We’re very sorry for the inconvenience to all PlayStation players!
Update
The SifuGame Twitter has released another statement, which says that the issue should be resolved shortly. It also alludes to their being some kind of restitution, but we’ll have to wait and see what it is! Hold tight everyone!
The game has gotten some pretty good reviews and some recent hype, but unfortunately PlayStation players are not able to play the game due to an issue on the console. While it hasn’t been formerly diagnosed yet, we do know that Sloclap and Sony are working together to fix the issue:
Players who pre-purchased the deluxe edition of Sifu were supposed to receive it two days early. While people who purchase it on PC are able to play, PlayStation users are unfortunately experiencing an issue where they can’t download the game. There’s currently no ETA on when this situation will be resolved unfortunately, but at the very least we know it’s being worked on currently.
We know if you’re a PlayStation customer that you are upset right now, but remember that no one likes these delays and it should hopefully be fixed soon. Please try to be patient!
I just paid for the game so I can play it earlier. Is there a way we are compensated. I paid extra so I can play early.
They mentioned in one of the tweets that they will “make it up to you”, but it’s unclear what that means yet.
All you wanting a refund…go into your PlayStation store on website and request the refund. It’s that easy.
The refund would be nice however the real issue is this is a PS exclusive. The let down is as of now the exclusivity perk of early access is only for PC and not the PS owners wow comes to mind. For that reason alone I feel an adjustment should be made. Come on PS do better.
How does this make up for the ppl who unfortunately like myself paid PS Plus to get the discount then after taxes still managed to come out $50 on the game so I feel I sort of didn’t get a discount. On top of that. What’s intriguing is PC user’s have access to Sifu and XBOX user’s had a early demo and all PS4/PS5 user’s who paid for 2 day early access gets rewarded with denied access to download, a disappointing discount promo that in no way seemed to really save PS consumer’s $$ and the frustration of no real update on when it will be accessible. I feel I should’ve paid for the Standard Edition because I gotten the Deluxe Edition just for the 2 day early access all other features included aren’t really useful to me. Nice to have but not useful. So my concern is how do we get compensated for currency used for early access which is now late and delayed !!!??
Yo I honestly just want my money back.
Unreliable game company.
I feel exactly the same bro. Unfortunately I been waiting on a game like this 2B made since they had a game sort of like this when they had Jet Li’s Rise to Honor for the PS2 back then. This was definitely disappointing 😞
I mean honestly yes no one likes delays, but you guys are a respectable business who should have your GAME together. Pun intended. If the game isn’t delievered by the 7th and you all have collected tons of money without delivering, I believe a refund or bare minimum as significant discount should be applied. This game was delayed twice if I’m not mistaken and here we are after paying for early access and all. NO GAME. Yea, somebody at SLOCLAP or PS needs to start dishing out some refunds. This is truly unacceptable.
Facts
BIG FACTS
Well done. Appluase!
Now lets see what they do to make it right because if they didn’t make us choose to spend more to play early we wouldn’t be here IM JUST SAYING
True dat.
Yes, REUND REFUND REFUND Baby. Honor and commitment is everything. If you don’t or can’t honor YOUR committment then you are thoroughly responsible and must pay back what is owed. It can’t be as simple as, “OK SLOCLAPPERS the game is up for download, enjoy!” Nah, you made us pay early and extra, now you have to return because they couldn’t uphold their end of the bargain. Literally.
Amen brother.
Ngl very skeptic so as it was saying lunchtime 6th February would be the release date, but to see that it hasn’t been downloaded and other gamers who have paid money to get early access who have also suffered the same fate is disappointing. Someone needs to take accountability for this error, i was really looking forward to playing this game… just disappointing
