PS5 owners looking for a fun game to go with exclusives like Demon’s Souls or Spider-Man: Miles Morales may want to take a look at Ripstone’s recently-released Poker Club. Poker Club is a Texas Hold’em simulation game. It aims to offer an authentic high-stakes poker experience, featuring a variety of tournaments and private table styles of games. However, Poker Club isn’t content to be just another poker game. It’s aiming to offer the definitive next-gen poker experience on PS5.
Ripstone described what it calls “true immersion” on the PS5 with Poker Club in a post on the official PlayStation Blog yesterday. It does this by enhancing the player’s senses with several key features built around sight, touch, and sound. These features come together to represent a proper high-stakes poker experience, and Ripstone says that this is just part of its next-gen support, with further features and improvements in the works.
Sight is the most easily understandable sense tied to a video game, poker or otherwise. Ripstone says it’s keying into this sense by offering visual “fidelity [dialed up] to 11” through 4K resolution with 60fps on PS5, as well as “true to life” reflections and shadows. Ray tracing isn’t mentioned, but Ripstone says the visuals are especially notable in first-person mode, where the player’s hand, cards, the tabletop, and even other players stand out.
Touch is a less tangible sense in video games, but the PS5’s DualSense controller changes that, to a degree. Ripstone describes using the DualSense to create genuine feeling in Poker Club. Triggers can be used to bend cards, to peek at the player’s hand, and the DualSense offers genuine tension to these cards. Haptic feedback is also said to have been used, specifically to give weight to poker chips.
Finally, Ripstone describes using the PS5’s 3D audio technology to better represent table chatter and noise while playing poker in first-person. The sounds of chips and cards being dealt are key to creating an accurate simulation of poker, and Ripstone believes Poker Club has “drastically” improved players’ feeling of presence at the table.
For those who want to see how Poker Club plays on PS5, the game is available now. In addition to its PS5 features, Poker Club also offers a range of social features, including 200-player tournaments, bespoke tournaments leaderboards, and cross-generation play. PC, Switch, and Xbox versions of the game will also feature cross-platform compatibility.
Poker Club is available now on PC, PS4, PS5, Switch, Xbox One, and Xbox Series X/S.
