Sword of the Sea, the atmospheric adventure game developed by Giant Squid, has appeared on Microsoft’s Xbox Store with an official listing identifying Xbox Series X|S support. The discovery suggests that the previously released PlayStation and PC title is heading to Microsoft’s consoles, although a specific Xbox release date has not been established.
The Xbox Store page lists Sword of the Sea as optimized for Xbox Series X|S, with Fictions named as publisher and Giant Squid as developer. The listing also includes the game’s official description, artwork and platform-specific capabilities, providing stronger evidence of a planned Xbox version than an unverified leak or retailer placeholder.
According to the store information, the Xbox version supports 4K Ultra HD, frame rates of 60 fps or higher, Xbox achievements, cloud saves and Xbox presence functionality. These are listed capabilities rather than independently verified performance measurements, and the page does not establish how consistently the game will achieve its advertised frame-rate target.
The listing does not specify a release date or establish whether the Xbox version is immediately available to purchase. Neither Giant Squid nor Fictions has been confirmed to have made a formal announcement detailing the Xbox launch schedule.
Sword of the Sea originally launched for PlayStation 5 and PC in August 2025. Created by Giant Squid, the studio behind ABZÛ and The Pathless, the game combines exploration with a distinctive movement system built around the Hoversword, a magical board inspired by surfing, skateboarding and snowboarding.
Players control the Wraith, a mysterious figure resurrected in a desolate world, who travels across shifting sand dunes, ancient ruins and other environments while attempting to restore a lost ocean. The Hoversword allows players to build momentum, perform tricks and navigate landscapes designed around fluid movement.
The game features artistic direction from Matt Nava and music by Austin Wintory, whose previous collaborations include Journey and ABZÛ. Its focus on environmental storytelling, exploration and movement distinguishes it from conventional combat-focused action adventures.
The Xbox listing is particularly significant because Sword of the Sea was previously associated with PlayStation and PC availability. Its appearance on Microsoft’s storefront points toward an expansion to another major console platform.
For now, the verified Xbox Store information establishes that Sword of the Sea has a dedicated Xbox Series X|S product page with platform-specific features. An official release date, pricing details and any potential Xbox Game Pass availability remain unconfirmed.
