- No Rest For The Wicked is currently in early access on the PC.
- The game has received a positive reception from the fandom, and many are eagerly awaiting its release on the console.
- However, the title may not arrive at Xbox Series S|X as the developer might only focus on PS5 and Switch 2.
PlayStation has left Xbox quite behind in competition, but it still considers the latter as its competitor. Microsoft has a chance to turn the tables if it manages to release the next-gen Xbox before the release of GTA 6.
However, the current state of Xbox isn’t ideal, as more and more developers are leaning toward PlayStation 5 and PC exclusivity. The developer of No Rest For The Wicked has also hinted at skipping the Xbox release, fearing the console may not attract many sales, making it a total waste of time.
Why it matters: Previously, some developers skipped the Xbox as a platform for their games due to the Series S, finding it challenging to optimize their games for this console. However, they are now entirely skipping the platform.
Delmontyb on Twitter posted a screenshot of Thomas Mahler’s statement. He said that, for the time being, they are only considering the release on PlayStation and potentially on Switch 2. Due to market conditions, the game may not be released on Xbox Series S|X.
Btw, given current market conditions, we might only release on PS5 and potentially Switch 2 for the time being – we’ll have to discuss things with MS to see what makes sense for Xbox.

The game is already available to play on PC via early access, and it will now also be released on the PlayStation 5. The release date has not been confirmed yet, but you can expect updates from the developer soon.
It should be noted that the Switch 2 port has not been confirmed, either, as Mahler has only stated a possibility. The same goes for the game not releasing on the Xbox Series S|X. That said, the game is unlikely to arrive on Xbox because sales have not been great, and Game Pass has been stagnant for a while now.
