Feisty Bullet-Hell Roguelite ‘Rightfully, Beary Arms' Enters 1.0 for PC, Xbox on Jan. 27

Go claws and blasters out with new story beats, bosses, weapons, and more

BOSTON — Oct. 15, 2025 — As revealed at IGN Fan Fest: Fall EditionRightfully, Beary Arms, the pawsome bullet-hell roguelite from developer Daylight Basement Studio, will pounce onto PC via Steam and Epic Games Store, and Xbox Series X|S with its 1.0 launch on Tuesday, Jan. 27, 2026.

Step back into the cuddly and extremely deadly shoes of Beary, blasting into 1.0 with a slew of fresh tricks up his sleeves. Experiment with new weapons and modifiers, sink his claws (well, bullets) into an intimidating final boss, and freshen up his style with an abundance of freshly-sewn fits. New story beats, mid-run saves, and achievements, among other improvements, round out a host of pawtastic additions.

Set out on an intergalactic mission to obliterate nasty Fun Guys and shocking Battery Boys in increasingly difficult roguelite runs. Transform weapons such as the Crop Duster and the Fish Sword into vessels of clawstruction with powerful augments. Between levels, select randomly generated bonuses that won’t just benefit Beary, but his foes as well, for an added sprinkling of risk and reward.

Explore the pixelated map as a lovingly stylish menace with a closet full of unbearably adorable outfits. Tear through pesky fiends and formidable bosses to the beat of a delightful chip-tune soundtrack. Live, die, and repeat it all over again to earn the title of the galaxy’s most fearsome teddy. 

“Who says a cute bear can’t learn new tricks?” said Chris Bischke, Co-Founder of Daylight Basement Studio. “After releasing in Steam Early Access over two years ago, we’ve poured countless hours into making Beary’s adventures more adorably chaotic than ever. We can’t wait to see what shenanigans fans will get him into with our 1.0 launch next year.“ 

Rightfully, Beary Arms paws out of Early Access and into 1.0 on PC via Steam and Epic Games Store, and Xbox Series X|S on Tuesday, Jan. 27, 2026.
