Global publisher Fireshine Games and developer Pugstorm have announced that Core Keeper will also launch day one on Xbox Game Pass when the game fully releases in August.
The award-winning sandbox mining adventure is set to exit Early Access with a version 1.0 update in August for consoles and PC. During the PC Early Access period over 2 millions units have been sold for the 1-8 player base building, exploration, and adventure where choices impact the gameplay.
Collect resources, harvest relics, craft advanced tools, and discover a dynamic evolving world. Check out mysterious biomes, level up skills, and defeat legendary Titans to fully relieze the power of the Core.
Players can go at their own pace. Grow a garden, fish in strange waters, master recipes, hatch pets, drive vehicles, or go off exploring alone or with friends to see what it out in the world. The choice is entirely up to players on how they want to craft their own adventure.
We’re so excited to bring Core Keeper to Xbox Game Pass players on day one, and let them jump into the game’s enchanting subterranean world as a solo explorer or online with friends. Core Keeper is a compelling mining adventure that blends base building, fishing and farming with crafting, boss battling and much, much more, and we can’t wait for so many more players to discover the game at launch with Xbox Game Pass.
