PlayStation 4 gamers won’t miss out on the DLC; a ‘launch edition’ of Golf With Your Friends will be available to purchase from the PlayStation Store for a limited time of two weeks from launch, which will include the content.

‘Beanie’ propeller hat

Today’s announcement follows last month’s Steam Early Access release of a new 18-hole course set in a volcanic world. Featuring new hazards to overcome from the tee off, the course will be available for all console versions from launch.
Key features:
Friendly competition: Players can ‘putt’ their skills to the test against 11 people in online multiplayer.
Golf, with a view: Normal golf greens are so last year, Golf With Your Friends offers more than 10 unique courses, each with their own theme and location, including one based on the iconic Team17 franchise, Worms.
Super-powered golf: Players can hinder their friends progress with powerups available in custom game modes. Throw down honey, turn their ball into a square, or freeze them on the spot to take the lead and drive a wedge between friends.
Multiple game modes: Sometimes golf is just golf, and sometimes it’s golf with a basketball hoop or a hockey goal – both game modes are available alongside the classic mini golf mode.
Fabulous golf: Rock the fairway in style, with unlockable skins, hats and trails for the golf balls.
Golf With Your Friends will be available digitally on Xbox One, PlayStation 4, Nintendo Switch, and Steam for £14.99/$19.99/€19.99.
