Towerborne was down as one of the next upcoming Xbox exclusives for 2024, but Gamescom's Opening Night Live has detailed how the Towerborne release date has been pushed back to 2025 with a "phased" release plan including Early Access. It has also been confirmed as a free-to-play game when it launches in full. Towerborne to have "phased" release plan"Towerborne will have a phased release starting with Steam Early Access, Xbox Game Preview following, and a full free-to-play launch planned for 2025," the Xbox announcement explains. That Steam Early Access release date is September 10, but we don't yet have an Xbox Game Preview release date. "With Early Access, the studio can continue that tradition of building a game with consistent input from players invested in Towerborne‘s journey from the start. As a result, Xbox, PC, and Xbox Game Pass players will immediately feel the benefit of the refinement Towerborne will undergo during the Early Access period and beyond. When Towerborne enters Xbox Game Preview, it will open the floodgates to even more players across these platforms, allowing their feedback to further shape the game’s development."The gorgeous Towerborne looks well worth the wait.
