King of Meat Enters Early Access on PS5, Xbox and PC Ahead of Oct. 7 Launch

The $29 Amazon Games brawler leans on a robust dungeon creator to power online co-op replayability.

Overview

  • Developed by UK studio Glowmade, founded by former Lionhead members, and published by Amazon Games, the comedy action platformer centers on co-op dungeon runs.
  • Early access begins today on PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X/S and PC via Steam, with the full release set for October 7.
  • Standard pricing is $29.99/£24, with a $49.99 Deluxe Edition offering five days of early access and cosmetic extras, and reports note no microtransactions at launch.
  • Hands-on coverage highlights responsive movement, varied weapons and abilities, and combat that offers some depth beyond simple button-mashing.
  • A built-in dungeon editor enables community-made levels, reviews point to an online-first design with full cross-play, and there is no local couch co-op.
