Recognize the game you are looking for
Escape from Playtime is the cooperative survival game in which you play as a Smiling Critter inside the Playtime Co. factory. It is a separate product from the Poppy Playtime chapter games and from Project: Playtime. Another title in the same universe appearing on a console does not make this game available there.
Controller support applies to the PC version
A controller option concerns how you control the Steam game. It does not provide a PlayStation download, a PS5 release schedule, or PlayStation-to-PC crossplay.
For a group planning to play together, check that each person can access the Windows version. Do not organize the session around a console player joining until an actual console release and its multiplayer compatibility are established.
What a future console announcement would need to confirm
A useful PS5 announcement would name Escape from Playtime itself, identify PlayStation as a supported platform, and provide release or availability details. None of those details should be inferred from a general Poppy Playtime promotion.
Other platforms may be explored later, but there is no confirmed PS5 date to count down toward. Waiting for a named platform announcement is the practical option if you want to play on your console rather than a Windows PC.
