Kingmakers is one of the most wishlisted games on Steam right now, and for good reason. The combination of modern combat in a medieval setting is a hilarious premise, and every bit of footage shown so far suggests it could be one of the most fun games of 2025.

Is Kingmakers Coming to Xbox Game Pass?

No, Kingmakers will not be available on any tier of Xbox Game Pass at launch.

Kingmakers Confirmed Launch Platforms

Kingmakers is an early access title and is currently launching only on PC via Steam. It will not be available on any console at launch. The developers have expressed a desire to release it on consoles eventually, which is the case for most early access releases once they hit 1.0.

The game is developed on Unreal Engine 5, which worries me a bit when it comes to performance. I’m hoping that the early access launch delivers on its ridiculous premise and it’s actually fun to play as well.
