Xbox Insider
We’re also hoping to run our first Xbox Insider playtest this weekend , which will be the first time GRAVHOUNDS has been out in the wild on Xbox with a larger group of players.
The Xbox build still needs to make it through certification before we can confirm the test, so timing there is a little less certain . For our Xbox players, please bear with us. This is our first test of any significant size on the platform, and we expect to learn a lot alongside tackling bugs.
That's it for now, go forth and enjoy the chaos and be a good worker and join our Discord to share your thoughts, bugs and anything else with us.
Stay in the loop with all things Gravhounds:
- Join the Pack on Discord!
- Follow us on X, Instagram and TikTok.
