Bugsnax Arrives To Xbox Game Pass Later On April 28th With New ‘The Isle Of Bigsnax’ Update

Giving PlayStation 5 some identity, the launch for the platform stands to be a defining factor for the newest system from Sony Interactive Entertainment. But rather than first-party titles such as the latest Gran Turismo 7 or even Returnal, many fans can remember the significance of one title: Bugsnax. The game originally launched for the new consoles as a free PlayStation Plus game over the span of the holiday season.

Ahead of the game’s release, developer Young Horses revealed that the coming food-oriented monster safari title would be a spiritual successor to the remembered Ape Escape series. Additionally, the game studio recently spared plans for the coming expansion for the game, ‘The Isle of Bigsnax’. The free install would introduce new creatures and a new region for players to explore and uncover new sights to behold.

This week, Young Horses announces that Bugsnax will be breaking its PlayStation exclusivity with the game’s addition to Xbox Game Pass at the end of April. The team also reveals Nintendo Switch & Steam is also receiving respected versions of Bugsnax as well. You can watch the latest trailer in the video below:

“If you’re not familiar, Bugsnax is a first-person adventure game where you collect kinda-bug, kinda-snak creatures and feed them to your friends. You play as a journalist following the trail of lost explorer Elizabert Megafig to Snaktooth Island, where she discovered Bugsnax before mysteriously disappearing.” Young Horses Creative Director Kevin Zuhn describes Bugsnax.

“The only way to track her down is to catch tons of Bugsnax and feed them to Lizbert’s scattered band of misfit grumpuses. However, anybody who consumes a Bugsnak rapidly mutates into what they’ve eaten!” More excitingly the Bugsnax free update ‘The Isle of Bigsnax’ is also set to release the same day as the new versions on Xbox, Nintendo Switch, and PC – April 28th.
