Popular $3 Steam Horror Game Confirms Console Release for 2026

by

Lots of independent (indie) games first appear on platforms like Steam and itch.io before becoming available on consoles. Bringing a game to systems like the Nintendo Switch or PlayStation can be expensive, and smaller studios usually want to see if a game is successful before investing in a console version. This means players without a powerful gaming computer, or those who simply prefer playing on consoles, sometimes have to wait to try new games. However, fans of scary games will be happy to know that the popular title Buckshot Roulette will soon be available on consoles, so they won’t have to miss out much longer.

Buckshot Roulette, a thrilling horror game inspired by Russian roulette, launched on Steam in April 2024 and quickly gained a large following. Players must use strategy and luck to survive. Developer Mike Klubnika recently announced the game has reached over 8 million players! To mark this milestone, they’ve also revealed that Buckshot Roulette is coming to consoles.

Originally launched on itch.io, Buckshot Roulette became available on Steam in 2024 and has been growing in popularity ever since. It began as a single-player horror puzzle game, but multiplayer was added in October, quickly becoming a hit with players who enjoy the terrifying twist on Russian roulette with friends. This addition significantly extended the game’s playtime, transforming it from a brief experience into a much longer one. Looking ahead, Buckshot Roulette is set to reach an even wider audience with a release on new platforms in 2026.

The developer of Buckshot Roulette recently announced on Steam that the game will be available on consoles in 2026. While they originally aimed for a 2025 release, technical issues caused delays. Fortunately, development is back on track, and players can expect the console version next year.
