They have to release the game first, get it out of Early Access before they would even consider it for console. Right now, they are developing milestone 2 from their loose roadmap, which is creating content for the Mistlands biome. They have a long list of things to do before it gets to v1.0. So once v1.0 is released, they would most likely look into porting the game into other platforms.

IronGate is already getting a lot of headache from their PC/Linux players. Imagine having it on console before getting it out of EA. They would be drowning in complaints. ;)

I didn't realize they were having such issues. Risk of Rain 2 had a console version during EA a year or so before it finally released so I didn't figure it would be a requirement to be out of EA. With the popularity of the game I figure it would be a ton of additional money/playerbase to have it on consoles.
