Microsoft is increasingly moving away from hard exclusivity. The latest example is Towerborne – a production from Stoic studio, which has been associated with the Xbox brand for years. Today, the game debuts not only on Xbox Game Pass but also on PlayStation 5.
Project "xboxowy" that is no longer exclusive
Towerborne has long functioned as a title associated with the Xbox ecosystem. It was promoted at Microsoft events and announced mainly with the Xbox Series X|S and PC in mind. Ultimately, however, the developers decided to expand the distribution, and from the day of its release, the game is also available on PS5. For Xbox players, the most important information is different: Towerborne is immediately available on Game Pass Ultimate, Game Pass Premium, and PC Game Pass. This means that subscribers can start playing without any additional fees.
Full version, not a test
The premiere version of Towerborne is not an experiment or an expanded Preview version. Stoic Studio has completed the testing phase and prepared a complete production with new narrative content, additional areas, fresh enemies, and a revamped progression system. The developers have improved the difficulty balance, added the ability to play offline, and enhanced the online co-op mode. Cosmetic rewards are now earned naturally during gameplay, without the need for additional systems.
Towerborne is yet another sign that Microsoft is changing its strategy and is increasingly bold in releasing supported projects outside its own ecosystem. For Game Pass subscribers, this is a strong launch "to start with," and for PS5 owners – it's an opportunity to play a title that just recently seemed typically Xbox.
