FragPunk will launch on Xbox in 2025. It will be available on Xbox Series X|S and not on older generation consoles. Given it was first unveiled at the 2024 Xbox Summer Showcase in June, it’ll likely stay as an Xbox-exclusive title for some time.

So, if you own a Nintendo Switch or PlayStation, FragPunk won’t be on these consoles for some time after, depending on the exclusivity period. Typically, this period lasts one year. However, if this title becomes popular, it may actually stay an Xbox-exclusive game.

FragPunk will, however, be available on PC via Steam and, according to the official FragPunk Steam page, this title has full controller support for Xbox controllers. This means if you prefer playing your shooters on the sticks but only own a PC, you can still enjoy the controller experience. If you use another controller, you’ll likely have to remap the layout to ensure you get a smooth gameplay experience.

The devs have yet to reveal an official release date, but it can be wishlisted on Steam and Xbox and you can register interest in future playtests on Steam.
