Xbox Console Exclusive Gets 'Very Positive' Reviews

Key Takeaways

  • Towerborne debuts on Steam Early Access with “Very Positive” reviews from fans.
  • The co-op beat ’em up game offers action-RPG and action-adventure elements.
  • Xbox Game Studios will publish Towerborne as a console exclusive in 2025.

As a seasoned gamer with over two decades of gaming under my belt, the anticipation for the upcoming Xbox console exclusive, Towerborne, has been palpable. Having grown up with the likes of Golden Axe and Streets of Rage, I’ve always had a soft spot for beat ’em ups. The Banner Saga studio Stoic has certainly piqued my interest with this new co-op adventure.

The upcoming exclusive game for Xbox consoles titled “Towerborne,” developed by the studio behind “The Banner Saga” (Stoic), has just launched on Steam Early Access and is receiving exceptionally positive feedback. Published by Xbox Game Studios, this side-scrolling beat ’em up combines RPG and action-adventure elements, offers co-op play, and has been eagerly awaited since its unveiling at the 2023 Xbox Games Showcase.

The first trailer for “Towerborne” was awe-inspiring, igniting enthusiasm among fans who are eager to dive into a new cooperative beat ’em up. However, since it’s a live-service game, some fans have expressed concern about the final product. Still, given that Stoic is a reliable developer and what we’ve seen of “Towerborne” thus far has generated much anticipation, these concerns seem to be unfounded. Now that “Towerborne” has been launched in early access, it appears the optimism surrounding the game is justified, as early players have been raving about it.

Presently, Towerborne boasts a high number of “Very Positive” reviews on Steam, with players lauding its artistic flair, combat mechanics, character classes, and weapon variety. However, some users have criticized the game for only offering online cooperative play at this time. Rest assured, local cooperative mode will be available when Towerborne officially releases next year. The developers promise ongoing updates to further enhance the gaming experience before its full 1.0 launch.

Towerborne Has ‘Very Positive’ Reviews on Steam

For Xbox gamers eagerly anticipating the release of Towerborne, they might be curious as to when they can dive into this exclusive title. Similar to Steam Early Access, the Xbox Game Preview program serves as its counterpart, and it’s plausible that Towerborne could become accessible through Xbox Game Pass in this manner. In fact, it’s been confirmed that Towerborne is part of Xbox Game Pass. If not, Xbox enthusiasts will have to be patient until 2025, when the free-to-play 1.0 version of Towerborne is officially released.

Among the numerous Xbox console exclusives to look forward to, “Towerborne” is one that has gamers eagerly anticipating. In the near future, “STALKER 2” will be released in November, while the timed exclusive “Indiana Jones and the Great Circle” is scheduled for December. The year 2025 promises even more first-party, console exclusives from Xbox, such as the reboot of “Fable”, “South of Midnight”, and many others. Notably, all these games will be accessible through the Game Pass (at least in the Ultimate tier), making it a bonus for Xbox enthusiasts.
