Publisher Spiral Up Games and developer Metal Head Games have announced an Xbox port for Back to the Dawn alongside its big full release this month.
Back to the Dawn is coming to Xbox Series X|S alongside its 1.0 release for Windows PC (via Steam) this week, on July 18th. The game has been in early access since 2023 and has thousands of positive reviews on Steam.
The Xbox version of the game will be $19.99 with a limited 15% discount for its first week.
Here’s a rundown on the game, plus a new trailer:
Players will step into the paw-prints of Thomas the Fox, an investigative journalist framed for uncovering government secrets and thrown into the brutal confines of Boulderton Prison. With the clock ticking and trust hard-earned, survival means more than just staying alive—it means uncovering allies, making plans, and escaping before it’s too late.
Launching on Xbox alongside the game’s 1.0 release on PC, Back to the Dawn’s full release features the Black Panther Arc—a brand-new storyline featuring Bob the Panther, an undercover cop with secrets of his own. This substantial content update introduces new areas, quests, and morally complex choices that deepen the already rich narrative tapestry of prison life.
With a distinctive visual style, nuanced character interactions, and a reactive world where every decision matters, Back to the Dawn challenges players to adapt, investigate, and survive. The game has earned a 92% positive rating on Steam, and now console players will get to see why.
Key features include full optimisation for Xbox Series X|S controls, the chance to play as Thomas the Fox, complex investigative gameplay, a web of choices and consequences, and the new Black Panther Arc content.
