Craftopia Will Exit Early Access in 2027 and Drop Xbox One Support

Pocketpair says the 1.0 update will focus on technical fixes, polish, and stability to repair years of performance problems and poor communication.

Overview

  • Pocketpair announced on September 4, 2026 that Craftopia will reach version 1.0 in 2027 for PC via Steam and the Microsoft Store and for Xbox Series X|S.
  • The studio said it cannot achieve acceptable performance and stability on Xbox One and has discontinued development of the game for that platform.
  • Pocketpair frames 1.0 as a cleanup release that prioritizes bug fixes, performance improvements, and overall polish over large new-content expansions, though some new content will arrive.
  • Developers said the company invested extra engineering resources after growing since Craftopia's 2020 Early Access launch and apologized for past poor communication and perceived neglect.
  • The move aims to repair Craftopia's reputation after six years in Early Access and a 'Mostly Negative' Steam rating by solving longstanding technical issues, while Xbox One players face losing official support.
