Crusader Kings 3’s Royal Court DLC Comes to Consoles in May

Crusader Kings 3’s critically acclaimed Royal Court DLC is coming to PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X and S on May 17.

Royal Court is a major expansion to Crusader Kings 3, adding several elements including the Throne Room, Grandeur, an Inventory System, and more.

The Throne Room is available to king and emperor characters as a visual representation of the player’s royal court that reflects their success. The royal court can also be improved with the Grandeur feature that lets players bling up their residence to attract better guests and impress rivals.

Similarly, Inspired People such as talented artists, craftspeople, and thinkers can work on new projects, adding further treasures and artifacts.

The Royal Court update also adds hybrid creatures, cultural divergence, and more that resulted in the expansion being praised by critics. In our review of the PC version, IGN said it’s “the best kind of strategy expansion, weaving in new features that make running a kingdom a more complete and cohesive experience.”

And this comes on top of the already critically acclaimed base game. In our 10/10 review, IGN said: “Crusader King 3 takes the throne as the new king of historical strategy by expanding on and deepening the best parts of what made its predecessor memorable and unique.”
