Is WoW Forever coming to console?

By George In The Meta · 9 Nov 2026

Short answer: not yet, but Blizzard is hinting at it. WoW Forever is PC and Mac only, and there's no console version announced. If it does come, I'm sure it would bring in new players, 100%. I won't be playing it on a controller, though. I'm keyboard and mouse forever.

Is WoW Forever on console?

No. WoW Forever launched on 4 November on PC and Mac, and Blizzard hasn't announced a console version or a date for one.

What it has added is controller support. Blizzard confirmed native gamepad support for WoW Forever at BlizzCon in September, so you can already play it on a PC with a controller.

Has Blizzard hinted at WoW Forever on console?

Yes. Holly Longdale, who leads Warcraft at Blizzard, told GamesRadar in late October that the team wants people playing it "wherever you want, and at some point on whatever you want."

That's a hint, not a promise. She didn't name a console or a date, and Blizzard hasn't committed to a console release.

Would a console version bring in new players?

Sure, 100%. There are so many people out there who are console only. They don't have a PC rig that can play any games, and they just live their life on the console. WoW has never been somewhere they could go.

A console version would open WoW Forever up to all of them. If you don't have a gaming PC and want to play now, it's worth checking whether your laptop will run it: I've already looked at whether you can play WoW Forever on a laptop.

Would I play WoW Forever on a controller?

Nope. I am PC master race, and I'll be keyboard and mouse forever. I also really suck with a controller, which is one of the issues I'm going to face with GTA 6.

So even if WoW Forever comes to console, it's not for me. I'll be on my PC with a keyboard and mouse.
