Towerborne Exits Early Access Feb. 26 as Premium, Offline 1.0 on Xbox, PC, and PS5

Stoic cites player feedback for abandoning live-service monetization to prioritize a complete, owned experience.

Overview

  • The Standard Edition is priced at $24.99 and the Deluxe Edition at $29.99, with the game also available via Xbox Game Pass.
  • The release shifts from the original free-to-play, always-online plan to a buy-once game with offline play and optional online co-op after deep structural rebuilding.
  • Version 1.0 delivers a complete story with a final showdown, adds two new bosses, and introduces a fully reworked difficulty system including a Brutal setting.
  • The update reimagines the world map with a new coastal biome, adds a Forge for modifying and rerolling gear, includes new abilities and QoL features like multiple save slots and character import, and features new music by Austin Wintory.
  • Cosmetic purchasing is retired as all cosmetics become earnable in-game, Belfry Bucks convert to Stepstones at one per 500, Founders Packs sales end, and previously purchased items remain available.
