TheXboxHub reports availability on Xbox Series X|S and PC. For Windows players, the most useful part of that announcement is Play Anywhere—not simply another storefront appearance, but the ability to carry a qualifying digital purchase and progress between Microsoft’s console and PC platforms. Microsoft’s documentation explains exactly where those benefits begin and end.
What Play Anywhere means for your crew
Microsoft says Xbox Play Anywhere applies to supported digital games bought through the Xbox or Windows Store, including qualifying digital codes. Sign in with the same Microsoft account, and the game becomes available on compatible devices without another purchase. Saves, achievements and supported add-ons travel with you. Those ownership benefits do not extend to a separate Steam purchase.
For someone switching between a living-room Xbox and a Windows gaming PC, the practical routine is straightforward:
- Use the Microsoft account that owns the qualifying digital version.
- On console, find the game under My Games and Apps.
- On Windows, open the Xbox app and look in My Library.
- Finish your session before moving devices: Microsoft says the same game cannot be signed into simultaneously across those devices.
Cross-buy is not the same question as crossplay. TheXboxHub reports PC crossplay, but neither the inspected Xbox Wire entry nor Steam’s listing establishes which PC storefront versions can join Xbox sessions. A mixed Xbox-and-Steam crew should therefore confirm that specific compatibility before everyone commits to a version. Play Anywhere alone is not evidence of Steam matchmaking support.
Treasure hunting, with loose limbs and looser judgment
Xbox Wire describes online expeditions for up to four players, using elastic arms to break doors and transport treasure while surviving monsters and traps. Steam’s official description similarly emphasizes grabbing objects, hauling loot and getting someone back aboard alive. The captain apparently values delivery more than workplace safety.
TheXboxHub adds that the Xbox version includes voice-morphing, revives, progression, additional skins and detachable backside bonuses. Those are reported features rather than findings from hands-on testing; they should not be mistaken for an assessment of matchmaking reliability, performance or physics stability.
Preview status matters more than the punchline
The Steam version entered Early Access on August 18, 2026. RetroStyle Games says player feedback is helping tune difficulty, enemy behavior, physics interactions and co-op flow. Its plans include additional locations, enemies, customization and deeper progression—but those remain development intentions, not delivered Xbox features.
Microsoft’s warning is explicit in substance: the unfinished game could change, and a final release is not guaranteed. That makes the sensible buying test the current version, not the most attractive item on a future roadmap.
For Xbox and Windows users, the concrete news is a new Game Preview release with confirmed Play Anywhere support. The useful caution is just as concrete: understand the unfinished-product status, distinguish Microsoft-store ownership from Steam ownership, and settle cross-store multiplayer compatibility before assembling the crew. Treasure can wait; buying the wrong version is a less entertaining kind of pirate mishap.
Update: Report says Xbox players can join Steam crews (November 11, 2026)
Xbox players can reportedly play with friends on Steam, according to OtakuKart’s November 11 launch report. That addresses a question left open in the original article: whether multiplayer extends beyond the Microsoft-store PC version to Steam.
For a group choosing where to buy, the report suggests members do not all need to use the same storefront to play together. However, OtakuKart does not detail how players connect across platforms or identify any limitations, so groups may still want to check the current in-game joining options before purchasing.
OtakuKart also reports that RetroStyle Games is targeting a full Xbox and PC release, including Steam, in the first quarter of 2027. That is a target rather than a guaranteed release date. The outlet also says the game can be played solo, giving players an option if they do not have a crew ready.
