- Towerborne debuts on Steam Early Access with "Very Positive" reviews from fans.

- Xbox Game Studios will publish Towerborne as a console exclusive in 2025.
The upcoming Xbox console exclusive game Towerborne has debuted on Steam Early Access and already has "Very Positive" reviews. Developed by The Banner Saga studio Stoic, Towerborne will be published by Xbox Game Studios. A side-scrolling beat 'em with RPG and action-adventure elements, not to mention co-op support, Towerborne has been hotly anticipated by fans ever since it was first revealed at the 2023 Xbox Games Showcase.
Towerborne's debut trailer was impressive, with many fans excited to have a fresh co-op beat 'em up to play. It being a live-service game has left some fans anxious about the final product, but Stoic is a proven developer and what's been shown of Towerborne so far has left many excited about the game. And now that Towerborne has been released in early access, it seems the optimism for the game has been well-placed, as early players have been singing its praises.

Towerborne currently has "Very Positive" reviews on Steam, with praise for its art style, combat, classes, and weapons. There are complaints that the game currently only offers online co-op, but it's already been confirmed that Towerborne will have local co-op support when it launches next year. Future updates should improve the game and ensure that it's even better come its 1.0 launch. When Towerborne does launch, it will be doing so as an Xbox console exclusive, so console gamers unwilling to game on PC will need to play on Xbox if they want to play it. It will also be free-to-play at launch, though anyone wanting early access will have to pay $24.99.
Towerborne Has 'Very Positive' Reviews on Steam
With Towerborne being an Xbox console exclusive, Xbox gamers may be wondering exactly when they will get to play it. The Xbox Game Preview program is the platform's equivalent to Steam Early Access, and it's possible that Towerborne will eventually make its way there through Xbox Game Pass. Towerborne has been confirmed for Xbox Game Pass, after all. Otherwise, Xbox fans will have to wait until 2025 for Towerborne's free-to-play 1.0 release.
Towerborne is one of many upcoming Xbox console exclusives for fans to be excited about. In the more immediate future, STALKER 2 is dropping in November, while the timed exclusive Indiana Jones and the Great Circle is releasing in December. 2025 has plenty more first-party, console exclusive Xbox games on the way, like the Fable reboot, South of Midnight, and more. All these games will be available through Game Pass (at least through the Ultimate tier), which is an added benefit for Xbox fans as well.
