The Medium (PS5)

Discover a dark mystery only a medium can solve. Explore the real world and the spirit world at the same time. Use your psychic abilities to solve puzzles spanning both worlds, uncover alarming secrets, and survive encounters with The Maw – a monster born from an unspeakable tragedy.

The Medium is a third-person psychological horror game featuring innovative dual-reality gameplay and an original soundtrack by Arkadiusz Reikowski and Akira Yamaoka. Get even more immersed in its uncanny atmosphere thanks to the extensive support for the unique features of your DualSense controller.

BECOME A MEDIUM
Wield unique psychic abilities reserved for those with the gift. Travel between the realities or explore them both at the very same time. Use the Out of Body experience to investigate places your real-world self can’t go. Create energy shields and deliver powerful spirit blasts to survive the spirit world and its otherworldly dangers.

SEE WHAT’S HIDDEN
Delve deep into a mature and morally ambiguous story, where nothing is what it seems and everything has another side. As a medium you see, hear, and experience more than others, and with every new perspective, you will change your perception of what happened at the Niwa resort.

PLAY IN TWO WORLDS AT THE SAME TIME
Never-seen-before gameplay that plays out across two worlds displayed at the same time. Explore the physical world and the spirit world simultaneously, and use the interactions between them to solve dual-reality puzzles, unlock new paths, and awaken memories of past events.

ENTER A DARK REALITY INSPIRED BY BEKSIŃSKI
The Medium’s spirit world is a dark mirror reflection of our reality, a grim and unsettling place where our unpunished deeds, evil urges, and vile secrets manifest themselves and can take on a form. This world was invented and designed under the inspiration of Zdzisław Beksiński’s paintings, a Polish dystopian surrealist internationally recognized for his distinctive and strikingly ominous style.

MUSIC BY YAMAOKA & REIKOWSKI
Immerse yourself in the disturbing and oppressive atmosphere of the game thanks to the original ‘dual’ soundtrack co-created by Akira Yamaoka and Arkadiusz Reikowski. Yamaoka-san is a legendary Japanese composer best known for his work on the Silent Hill series; Reikowski is a Hollywood Music in Media Awards nominee who worked on such acclaimed horror games as Blair Witch, Layers of Fear, and Observer. Now they join their creative forces for the music and songs of The Medium.
