Overview
- The PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series editions went live on May 28, 2026, and are priced at $12.99 with publisher and developer announcements confirming console availability.
- Publishers and developers say the console builds include the Steam edition’s content and support full cross-platform play so PC and console players can join the same matches.
- The game is a one-to-four player cooperative horror experience with proximity voice chat, more than 30 lore-based levels, multiple hostile entities, a permadeath Nightmare Mode, and new cosmetic items.
- Several outlets reported that Escape the Backrooms was added to Xbox Game Pass across Premium, Ultimate, and PC tiers but that placement was reported by third parties and not uniformly confirmed by all primary publishers.
- Escape the Backrooms began on Steam in Early Access in August 2022 and reached full PC release in October 2025, and the console launch is expected to widen exposure as a Backrooms film opens in theaters.
