Horror PC game with high acclaim set for release on Xbox at an affordable price, similar to the cost of a cup of coffee, and boasting a 'Very Positive' rating on Steam
After a successful launch on Steam last year, the acclaimed short-and-sweet horror title, The Cabin Factory, is set to make its way to Xbox consoles on August 5, 2025 [4].
The game, developed by International Cat Studios and published by Future Friends Games, has received a "Very Positive" score on Steam, with 93% of recent reviews and 91% of all reviews giving it a positive rating [1]. This positive reception on PC helped prompt the console port.
Although specific details about the Xbox release are yet to be revealed, leaks earlier suggested that an Xbox port was in development [1][2]. However, the official August 5 date aligns with recent reports listing new Xbox games releasing that week [4].
Gameplay and Features
The Cabin Factory is more of a psychological and atmospheric horror experience, with influences from games like KOTAKE CREATE's The Exit 8, Tensori's POOLS, and Kojima Productions' P.T. [1]. The game's premise involves investigating prefabricated cabins for signs of supernatural activity.
Movement of objects within the cabins classifies them as haunted, and if observed, the player must exit and send a "DANGER" signal. If no movement is detected, the cabin is considered safe, and the player can press the "CLEAR" button [1].
Availability and Pricing
The Xbox listing for The Cabin Factory on the Microsoft Store is currently inactive, suggesting an upcoming release. However, it's unclear whether the game will be available on PS5, PS4, or Switch at the time of its release. It's possible that it could be released on these platforms at some point [1].
As for the price, it is likely to be the same as the Steam price ($2.99) [1].
Xbox Game Pass and Other New Releases
Subscribing to Xbox Game Pass Ultimate allows you to play day one Xbox games whichever way you'd like, on Xbox consoles, PC, or through the Cloud on a wide range of devices. However, The Cabin Factory does not appear to be playable through Xbox Game Pass at the moment.
Other new Xbox games hitting Microsoft's consoles this week include Grounded 2, Obsidian's highly anticipated sequel to the original survival game, and NINJA GAIDEN: Ragebound, a new action platformer releasing ahead of October's Ninja Gaiden 4.
Meanwhile, Xbox Game Pass Ultimate was previously priced at $19.99, but is now available for $10.19 at CDKeys [3]. This makes it an affordable option for those looking to expand their gaming library.
