Thronefall comes to Xbox Game Pass and Xbox Series X|S on 11 November 2026

• On the same date, Craaghelm, the first paid expansion for GrizzlyGames' strategy game, is also due out.
• Thronefall first launched in Steam Early Access on 2 August 2023 and received a 1.0 release on PC and Nintendo Switch on 11 October 2024.

What happened

According to the information provided, Mythwright has further outlined Thronefall's release plans. The minimalist strategy game from GrizzlyGames is due to arrive on Xbox Series X|S on 11 November 2026 and will be available on Xbox Game Pass the same day. In the broader context, that date is also tied to a PlayStation 5 version, but the confirmed details in the supplied sources focus on Xbox Series X|S, Xbox Game Pass, and the Craaghelm expansion.

The same date also applies to Craaghelm, the first expansion for Thronefall. In the reporting, the add-on is described as paid DLC, separate from the base game that will be included with Game Pass. The sources note that the expansion will be sold separately, but do not give a price for Craaghelm. The supplied information also does not specify whether the DLC will launch on all mentioned platforms at the same time, although the broader context suggests it will also arrive on Steam and Nintendo Switch on the same day.

Thronefall combines tower defense and city-building and originally launched in Steam Early Access on 2 August 2023. That was followed by a full 1.0 release for PC and Nintendo Switch on 11 October 2024. The Steam page explicitly lists both the Early Access date and the 1.0 release, fitting neatly into the game's release timeline.

Background

Thronefall is developed by German studio GrizzlyGames and is presented in the sources as a compact strategy game focused on defense and building. The game already had a PC and Switch release before the Xbox plans were announced. The combination of tower defense and city-building is a recurring description in the supplied reporting and forms the core of the game's identity.

Mythwright is named in the sources as the company that revealed the new release plans. The broader context refers to a Steam announcement stating that Thronefall will arrive on Xbox Series X|S, Game Pass, and PlayStation on 11 November. An additional summary in the broader context also mentions a press release dated 24 September 2026 repeating the same schedule. That means the date appears in multiple sources, although in this set it remains a reported announcement.

The first expansion, Craaghelm, is explicitly described in the available information as paid DLC. The sources say it will be sold separately, but do not state how much it will cost. They also do not confirm whether the expansion adds new modes, maps, or other systems; the supplied information is limited to the name, its paid status, and the shared release date.

Thronefall's timeline shows a game that first launched through Early Access, then received a full release, and is now set to expand to consoles and Game Pass in 2026. The Steam page confirms the original Early Access date of 2 August 2023 and the full release on 11 October 2024. The broader context adds the console rollout for 11 November 2026, including the mention of PlayStation 5 and the simultaneous arrival of Craaghelm.
