Overview

  • The game launched on Xbox Series X|S, Xbox One and PC via the Microsoft Store and arrived on Xbox Game Pass on Wednesday, July 8, 2026, with availability across Ultimate, Premium and PC tiers.
  • Microsoft lists Buckshot Roulette at $2.99 on the Xbox Store with regional pricing, and it is an Xbox Play Anywhere title that grants a free PC copy with a console purchase.
  • The Xbox version includes the 2–4 player multiplayer mode added earlier as a free Steam update and introduces powerful new in-game items that can change the outcome of a round.
  • Buckshot Roulette plays as a tense simulation of Russian roulette using a 12-gauge shotgun where players face an in-game character called The Dealer or compete against friends in bluffing and probability-based rounds.
  • The console debut follows strong PC success since 2024—about an 85 Metacritic score, award nominations, and publisher-stated sales above four million units—which Game Pass placement could rapidly expand to new players.
