Plague Tale Legacy Metacritic Score Status by Platform
The Metacritic product page for Resonance: A Plague Tale Legacy is published and tracks a single combined score alongside per-platform tabs for PC (Windows), PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X|S. As of 2026-09-03 the per-platform critic tally is PC 85 from ~36 critic reviews, PlayStation 5 80 from ~50 critic reviews, and Xbox Series X|S 84 from ~8 critic reviews. The per-platform tabs separate PC (Windows), PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X|S, with the PlayStation 5 tab carrying the deepest critic pool and the Xbox tab carrying the thinnest. The PC tab sits highest at 85 thanks to the high-end cluster reviews (PlayStation Universe 95, TheSixthAxis 9/10, Pure Xbox 9/10, Game Informer 8.5/10) landing on PC, while the PS5 tab at 80 reflects the same cluster averaged against the IGN 6/10, Eurogamer 60 and Game Rant 7/10 mixed-cluster outlets. The Xbox Series X|S tab at 84 sits in the high-end cluster thanks to Pure Xbox 9/10 leading the platform, even though the review count is still thin.
PC Critic Score: 85 from ~36 reviews
The PC critic score sits at 85 from approximately 36 critic reviews. PC carries the high-end cluster (PlayStation Universe 95, TheSixthAxis 9/10, Pure Xbox 9/10, Game Informer 8.5/10) alongside the mixed cluster (IGN 6/10, Eurogamer 60, Game Rant 7/10), and the higher critic pool means the high-end scores pull the per-platform tally into the mid-80s. The PC tab is the most representative single-platform tally for a player deciding whether to buy the title on PC rather than console.
PS5 Critic Score: 80 from ~50 reviews
The PlayStation 5 critic score sits at 80 from approximately 50 critic reviews, the deepest critic pool on the per-platform tabs. The PS5 tab carries both the high-end cluster and the mixed cluster, plus PlayStation-specific outlets that broaden the distribution. The lower per-platform number reflects the same split the OpenCritic chart tracks: a recommended majority on the high end and a not-recommended minority tied to the IGN 6/10, Eurogamer 60 and Game Rant 7/10 cluster.
Xbox Series X|S Critic Score: 84 from ~8 reviews
The Xbox Series X|S critic score sits at 84 from approximately 8 critic reviews, the thinnest critic pool on the per-platform tabs. Pure Xbox 9/10 leads the platform with the only top-tier Xbox-side launch review, and the per-platform number is sensitive to additional Xbox-side submissions within the first two weeks of release. The 84 should be treated as a directional number rather than a final tally until more Xbox-side critic reviews are indexed.
OpenCritic Aggregate and Recommended Share
The OpenCritic chart for Resonance: A Plague Tale Legacy tracks the per-outlet critic-score distribution plus a recommended / not-recommended share. The aggregate stance at launch sits in the high-70s to low-80s on the recommended-share side, with a minority of not-recommended entries corresponding to the IGN 6/10, Eurogamer 60 and Game Rant 7/10 cluster. OpenCritic does not weight the per-outlet scores; readers should treat the chart as a distribution rather than a weighted average and cross-check any headline number against the underlying outlets.
Critic and User Score Tracking
Critic scores on Metacritic come from the submitted outlets that publish a numeric review. For Resonance: A Plague Tale Legacy, the launch outlets with day-one coverage date their pieces between 2026-08-26 and 2026-08-28 and use a mix of numeric and qualitative scales. Rock Paper Shotgun does not use a numeric review scale, so any aggregator number attributed to RPS should be treated as a paraphrase rather than a numeric entry on the Metacritic page. User scores on Metacritic require a minimum number of verified user ratings before the aggregator displays a stable score. At launch, the user rating count is too low for the page to settle, so the displayed user score should not be quoted as final. Recheck the Metacritic product page after the first week of release for a more representative tally.
Where to Verify the Aggregator Number
The authoritative Metacritic page for Resonance: A Plague Tale Legacy is the single product page on the Metacritic domain, with per-platform tabs for PC, PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X|S. The aggregator page also surfaces a "critic reviews" tab and a "user reviews" tab that show the underlying sources for the score, which is the right place to confirm any number that is paraphrased elsewhere. Until the aggregator tab stabilizes, rely on the outlet reviews linked below rather than the headline number.
FAQ
What is the Resonance: A Plague Tale Legacy Metacritic score right now?
A stable Metacritic critic or user score for Resonance: A Plague Tale Legacy has not been published as of 2026-08-28 because the title launched on August 27, 2026 and the aggregator tab is still settling.

Does Metacritic track Resonance: A Plague Tale Legacy by platform?
Yes. The Metacritic product page separates critic and user scores by platform tabs for PC (Windows), PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X|S. The per-platform tabs were thin at launch and will populate further as more critic reviews are submitted and as more user ratings are logged.
How long does Metacritic take to stabilize a launch score?

User scores require a minimum number of verified user ratings before the aggregator publishes a stable score, so the user tab usually takes longer to settle than the critic tab.
Is the Rock Paper Shotgun review counted in the Metacritic score?
