Samobor, Croatia – 26 May, 2026 – Escape Simulator, the hit first-person puzzle game with over 3.25 million units sold via Steam, has launched today on XBOX via XBOX Game Pass, Windows PC Store and PC Game Pass. Playable solo or in online co-op with up to 8 people, players must search rooms for clues to solve intricate puzzles, and uncover hidden secrets using a wide range of interactive objects and tools.

With over 30 original escape rooms included in the XBOX base game, players can try to escape ancient tombs, steampunk airships, sci-fi labs, space stations and more. XBOX players can also check out a wide range of community-created rooms, alongside full cross-platform multiplayer support.

The XBOX launch also includes room editor support (via PC), as creating rooms requires a mouse and keyboard. Build your room, share it with friends or the community and see if they can escape.

Additional DLC packs and collaboration rooms are available separately and are not included with XBOX Game Pass.
