Jurassic World Evolution 3

Build your own Jurassic World

According to Frontier Developments, the third entry launched on 21 October 2025 on PC (Steam, Epic Games Store, Microsoft Store), PS5 and Xbox Series X|S, in collaboration with Universal. It brings juvenile dinosaurs and a full breeding system to the series for the first time: more than 85 species, 75 of which can breed across generations, with male, female and juvenile variants. It adds freer terraforming, modular building, an island generator and cross-platform sharing of creations through the Frontier Workshop. The campaign spans locations around the world, from the Montana Badlands to Japan, and brings back Dr Ian Malcolm.

What critics say

All three reviews used here were played on PS5. Push Square (8/10) says the game is exactly what it needs to be, with lots of dinosaurs, simple mechanics, an enjoyable campaign and great baby dinosaurs, despite some minor control quirks. Metro (8/10) calls it the best and most versatile entry yet, with a much improved campaign, more varied locations and better park customisation than ever, but finds it very iterative; the babies add little to the gameplay and quality-of-life additions can trivialise the difficulty. TheSixthAxis (9/10) praises much broader customisation tools, the needs of juveniles and a conservation-themed campaign, while noting performance dips on console as parks grow and rough-looking generated islands at first.
