Is Blue Prince on Xbox Game Pass?

As a researcher delving into the vibrant world of gaming, I must say that this year has been nothing short of spectacular. From highly anticipated single-player RPGs like Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2, Assassin’s Creed Shadows, and Avowed, to exhilarating multiplayer escapades such as Split Fiction and Monster Hunter Wilds, the gaming landscape is abuzz with excitement.

However, there is one game that might have slipped under your radar – Blue Prince, a clever play on words for “blueprints”. This under-the-radar exploration game, developed by Dogubomb and published by Raw Fury, could potentially be the industry’s next Balatro-style sleeper hit.

My favorite new (and free) game just got a big update, and now it’s better than ever

The primary modification in this update is combining the content from the 2023 demo and the 2024 playtest into a single demo version, which explains why you can no longer run the playtest on Steam. As a result, you now have access to the Abyss mode from the original demo – an engaging roguelike adventure set in an eternal, misty underworld filled with chests of random loot and enemies wielding various weapons, as well as the free play option from the playtest that includes duels and group fights.
