Hell Let Loose: Vietnam PS5 Review: Should You Buy It?
Hell Let Loose: Vietnam on PS5: the PlayStation Store player rating, what's in the console version, DualSense support, and whether it's worth buying at $39.99.
Is Hell Let Loose: Vietnam good on PS5?
The PS5 player rating sits at a lukewarm 3.15 out of 5 stars from about 4.1K ratings on the PlayStation Store — not a disaster, but a clear sign the launch has friction. The console version shipped on August 13, 2026 alongside PC and Xbox, and early threads on r/HellLetLooseVietnam are still debating whether it is worth buying on PS5.
What the PS5 version includes
- $39.99 standard edition on the PlayStation Store (Deluxe Edition $59.99); in-game purchases are optional.
- Full feature set: 50 vs 50 battles, 6 large-scale maps, 17 roles across infantry, recon, armour, mortar and helicopter units, plus Warfare and Offensive modes.
- PS Plus required for online play, with support for up to 99 online players.
- DualSense support for vibration and trigger effects; PS Portal cloud streaming is available with a Premium subscription.
- Rated M for Blood and Gore, Violence.
Because the game is fully cross-platform, PS5 squads share servers with PC and Xbox players — see our crossplay explainer.
What early PS5 players report
The split mirrors the wider reception: when squads communicate — using helicopter transport, garrisons and tunnels — the game is immersive in a way few console shooters match, and many players say the mechanics simply take time to learn. Others report dying to enemies they never saw, and community feedback generally expects visual bugs to be patched over time. PC launch coverage (gameranx) also documented crashes and server issues, so temper expectations for the first few weeks — details in our review roundup.
