Mistfall Hunter on Xbox

Last updated: August 5, 2026

Mistfall Hunter is available now on Xbox Series X|S. The dark fantasy PvPvE extraction ARPG from developer Bellring Games and publisher Skystone Games launched on Xbox alongside PC and PS5 on July 29, 2026 at 6:00 PM PT, and it arrived as a Day One addition to Xbox Game Pass. Microsoft’s Xbox Wire marked the occasion with an official post confirming the game “officially launched yesterday, July 29, at 6:00 PM PT across Xbox Series X|S and Xbox on PC, arriving as a Day One release with Xbox Game Pass.” The Xbox Store lists the game for Xbox Series X|S, PC, and Xbox Cloud Gaming — there is no Xbox One version.

Quick Answer

  • Can you play Mistfall Hunter on Xbox? Yes. It launched on Xbox Series X|S on July 29, 2026, with no Xbox One version. You can also stream it through Xbox Cloud Gaming.
  • How do you buy it? It is included at no extra cost with Xbox Game Pass Ultimate and PC Game Pass (Standard Edition), or you can buy the Standard Edition for $24.99 (Deluxe $39.99) from the Xbox Store — both with a 10% launch discount until August 12, 2026.
  • Does Game Pass cover online play? The game itself is free on Game Pass, but online multiplayer on console still requires a Game Pass Core or Ultimate subscription, even if you bought the game.
  • Is it crossplay? Yes — Xbox players share one player pool with Steam and PS5, and Xbox Play Anywhere carries progress between console and PC.

How to Get It on Xbox

There are two ways to play:

  • Xbox Game Pass — included day one with the top tier (Ultimate, called Premium in some coverage) and PC Game Pass, across Xbox Series X|S, Xbox on PC, and Cloud. Subscribers pay nothing extra to install and play. TheXboxHub confirmed the Day One deal covers the Standard Edition on Game Pass Ultimate and PC Game Pass (article dated July 30, 2026). See Is Mistfall Hunter on Xbox Game Pass? for the full breakdown.
  • Xbox Store purchase — if you prefer to own it, the Standard Edition is $24.99 and the Deluxe Edition is $39.99, per the Xbox Store and Game8’s review (July 30, 2026). Both carried a 10% launch discount ($22.49 / $35.99, £22.49 / £35.75 in the UK per TheXboxHub) until August 12, 2026. The Deluxe Edition adds the Forsaken Skeleton outfit, exclusive cosmetics (Shipwreck Coast background, Web of Fate earrings, Justice pose, Pip’s Daily Life emotes, Dew avatar and frame), and 2,500 Fate Coins. See Mistfall Hunter price for every edition and regional pricing.

Xbox Series S Performance

The Xbox Store’s feature list covers the whole Series X|S family — 60 fps+, 4K Ultra HD, HDR10, Variable Refresh Rate, and Ray Tracing — but Microsoft and Bellring Games have not published Series S-specific resolution or frame-rate figures. What is known as of early August 2026:

  • Bellring Games confirmed in a GamingBolt interview that consoles get separate Quality and Performance modes, so Series S players can pick a higher-fidelity or higher-frame-rate preset like everyone else.
  • Series S gameplay and FPS test videos from launch week (July 30, 2026) are circulating on YouTube, showing the game running on the console, though none are official numbers.
  • The Game8 review (published July 30, 2026, updated August 4, 2026) praised the visuals but noted the PC version’s frame rate “occasionally dropping into the 30s or even the 20s” in demanding scenes — a launch-window performance caveat to keep in mind across platforms.
  • There is no Xbox One version, so Series S is the cheapest way into the game on Xbox, with cloud streaming as the zero-download option.

Xbox Series X|S Features

The Xbox Store listing advertises a strong feature set on Series X|S hardware:

  • Optimized for Xbox Series X|S, with 60 fps+, 4K Ultra HD, HDR10, Variable Refresh Rate, and Ray Tracing.
  • Spatial Sound, Dolby Atmos, and DTS:X audio support.
  • Xbox achievements.
  • Online co-op (2-3 players) and online multiplayer (2-15 players).
  • Xbox cross-platform multiplayer and co-op — Xbox players share the same lobbies as Steam and PS5 players.

Xbox Play Anywhere

Mistfall Hunter is an Xbox Play Anywhere title — buy once (or claim via Game Pass) and play on both Xbox console and Windows PC, with progress, saves, and achievements carrying over between the two. TheXboxHub listed “Xbox Play Anywhere” among the game’s platforms in its July 30, 2026 launch coverage. Bellring Games has stated that platforms outside the Xbox ecosystem (Steam, PS5) do not support cross-progression, so Play Anywhere is the only cross-save path in the game.

Game Pass on Xbox

The standout detail for Xbox owners: Mistfall Hunter is a Day One Game Pass release, first announced during the Spring ID@Xbox Showcase in April 2026. Because of Game Pass and full crossplay, Xbox players were part of a single shared player pool with PC and PS5 from the first day — an important factor for an extraction game where matchmaking population shapes the experience.

One practical requirement: online multiplayer on console requires an Xbox Game Pass Core or Ultimate subscription, sold separately, as noted on the Xbox Store listing. That applies even if you buy the game outright.

Cloud streaming is covered too. The Xbox Store listing (checked August 2026) shows the game as “Cloud playable” — included with Game Pass Ultimate, while Essential or Premium subscribers can stream if they purchase the game. That makes Mistfall Hunter playable on phones, tablets, and low-end PCs through Xbox Cloud Gaming without an Xbox console at all.

Community Reception on Xbox

Early reception has been mixed-to-positive. On Steam (which shares the same crossplay population), the game sits at a “Mixed” rating — 68% of about 1,800 user reviews positive as of late July 2026, per the Steam store page, after fluctuating in the 57-61% range in the first days. Pure Xbox’s Game Pass launch roundup quoted Steam reviews both ways: one praised it as “a good extraction game” with stable performance, another called the loop “unrewarding” with little item variety after five hours. On Reddit’s r/XboxGamePass, a thread on the game drew hundreds of votes with reactions split between “it costs you nothing to try it” on Game Pass and skepticism about the extraction format. As with most launch-window extraction games, server stability and balance are the factors players are watching most closely in the first weeks.
