Sherlock Holmes Chapter One will now release on PlayStation 4 and Xbox One in Q1 2022, developer Frogwares has announced.

The news come as Sherlock Holmes Chapter One becomes the fastest selling game based on The Great Detective since Frogwares began releasing them, back in 2002. This is made even more impressive when you consider that the game has only released on PC, PS5, and Xbox Series X|S so far, with the PS4 and Xbox One releases delayed earlier this year. Chapter One is also up there as one of the best reviewed games in the series, alongside 2014's Sherlock Holmes: Crimes & Punishments - you can check out our review of the game here.

“We’re extremely proud that Sherlock Holmes Chapter One is the fastest-selling Sherlock Holmes title compared to our previous entries, even though at the time being it is only available on PC, PS5, and Xbox Series platforms," said Frogwares CEO Wael Amr. “As Frogwares publishing, the team accomplished some incredible results on its own and while we’ve been around for 20+ years making games, this is a massive step for us and hopefully the first of many.”

“We did of course have to make the tough decision to delay our PS4 and Xbox One versions - we need to take our time to polish and test the game on the older hardware to ensure satisfactory performance. The team is making good progress here, and at the moment, we are looking at a Q1 release on PS4 and Xbox One.”

Sherlock Holmes Chapter One will now be launching on PlayStation 4 and Xbox One in the first quarter of 2022.
