Perfect World Entertainment Inc. and Cryptic Studios announced Star Trek Online: Season 13 – Escalation is now available on PlayStation®4 and Xbox One. New episodic content and features have been unlocked for console players exploring the 100% free-to-play MMORPG based on iconic Star Trek franchise.
