In a thrilling twist for subscribers, it will also be available on Game Pass for both Xbox and PC.
Originally launched for Windows PC through platforms like Steam and itch.io back in April 2024, Buckshot Roulette quickly gripped the hearts of gamers with its unique and suspenseful gameplay. Players are transported into a gritty underworld nightclub, where they face off against the cunning Dealer or their friends. The stakes couldn’t be higher as you use strategic items to tip the odds in your favor, all while bracing yourself to pull the trigger on a 12-gauge shotgun. This high-risk game leaves no room for second place.
Buckshot Roulette has been met with both critical and popular acclaim, boasting an impressive 85 on Metacritic. The game has not only gained esteemed nominations at The Indie Game Awards and The Horror Game Awards but has also sold over four million units since its debut.
For its Xbox launch, fans can expect an enhanced experience featuring multiplayer options for two to four players, a feature that was introduced through a free update for PC players last year. This, along with the addition of powerful new items, can dramatically alter the course of a round. It’s time to press your luck and take chances with Buckshot Roulette. Will fortune smile your way?
