Plants vs. Zombies Garden Warfare hitting PS4, PS3 in August

As everyone most likely assumed, the formerly Xbox One and Xbox 360 exclusive action-oriented Plants vs Zombies spinoff, Plants vs. Zombies Garden Warfare, is also headed to the PS4 and PS3.

The PlayStation versions are scheduled for an August 19th release date and it sounds like the PS4 version will include a couple of extra perks. Split screen co-op, an option missing on the Xbox One version, has been confirmed along with both pieces of DLC and compatibility with the PlayStation App. PvZ Garden Warfare will also run at a native 1080p at 60fps on the PS4, topping the Xbox One’s 900p resolution a bit.

Read on for the announcement from the PS Blog and check out the first few pieces of media, including a PlayStation developer diary. Amazon already has it available to pre-order for $39.99 too. Those who pre-order will get two digital card packs and PlayStation exclusive Ratchet & Clank, Sly Cooper and Fat Princess Hat Packs.
