The game was later remastered and re-released for the PlayStation 4 in 2015, and was also made available for Microsoft Windows in 2019. It is directed and written by David Cage, the founder of Quantic Dream, and features performances by actors Elliot Page and Willem Dafoe.

The game received mixed reviews upon release.

Development
The game was announced at Sony's press conference during the Electronic Entertainment Expo 2012 by David Cage. At that conference, Page was confirmed to star in the game. The game's soundtrack was composed by Normand Corbeil, who died of pancreatic cancer on 25 January 2013 before the game's release. The soundtrack was later completed by Lorne Balfe.

Reception
Beyond: Two Souls received mixed reviews upon release. Critics praised Page's performance, with IGN's Colin Moriarty writing "Beyond: Two Souls is compelling enough, principally thanks to a remarkable performance from [Elliot] Page. But never before have I felt like such a passive participant in a video game, my choices and actions merely icing on a dense, multi-layered cake."https://www.ign.com/articles/2013/10/08/beyond-two-souls-review Similarly, Eurogamer's Tom Bramwell stating that "Beyond is [...] poorly served by the limited interactivity and stodgy controls of Quantic's interactive drama formula."https://www.eurogamer.net/beyond-two-souls-review

Remaster
Along with Heavy Rain, which was also made by Quantic Dream, Beyond: Two Souls received a remaster on PlayStation 4, which released on 24 November 2015.
