Beloved Survival Game Returns to Xbox Game Pass After 3 Years

Originally released as an early access game on Steam in September 2014, The Long Dark had its full launch across multiple platforms in August 2017. However, that wasn’t the end of development. Vancouver-based Hinterland Studio continued to expand the game, starting with the episodic story mode, Wintermute. The latest installment, Episode 4: Fury, Then Silence, came out in October 2021. After three delays and five years of other improvements to the game, the final episode—fittingly named The Light at the End of All Things—is set to be released tomorrow, March 31.
