Icarus will soon be released on PC on December 4. It will be coming to Steam, and players can opt into the beta by pre-purchasing it now. In addition, there is a ten percent discount currently being offered that will be available until December 13. This is fantastic news for PC players, but those on the console may be wondering if they can play Icarus as well.
At the moment, developer Rocketwerkz has confirmed that the PvE survival game will only be released on Steam. They have also stated that they are open to porting Icarus to console later on but have said nothing else about what this means.

Dean Hall is the creator behind Icarus, as well as the popular zombie survival game, DayZ. DayZ originally launched on PC but came to consoles at a later date. Though Icarus is a different game being developed by a different team, so this doesn't necessarily mean anything for the hopes of console players.
At this time, there is no definitive answer about Icarus coming to consoles, except there are no current plans. Those interested in playing Icarus should plan to purchase it on PC, which has been confirmed to be available through Steam.
