- Towerborne will be available as a premium game for $24.99 for the Standard Edition and $29.99 for the Deluxe Edition.
First and foremost, we at Stoic want to take a moment and salute our amazing community who joined us in the Towerborne early access journey. Itâs no exaggeration to say that the game would not be what it is without our community. Thank you to every Ace for your valuable feedback, passion, ideas and dedication which shaped Towerborne into our full game release.
Thatâs right, weâre excited to announce that we will be exiting early access and Xbox Game Preview and launching our full game on February 26, 2026, on Xbox, PC, Steam and PlayStation 5. This is all tied to a major 1.0 update to the game, and a shift in how you play and access. For those who have been with us from the start, there is a lot of new content and updates for you. And for those who will experience Towerborne for the first time, welcome! Letâs jump in.
A Reimagined Launch Experience
With this full game update, Towerborne shifts from its original vision as a free-to-play, always online title into a buy once, offline game â you will own the complete experience permanently, with offline play and online co-op.
This change required deep structural rebuilding over the past year, transforming systems originally designed around constant connectivity. The result is a stronger, more accessible, and more player-friendly version of Towerborne â one weâre incredibly proud to bring to launch.

Whatâs Coming in the Full Game Update on February 26, 2026
- A complete story & final showdown: We have an updated and complete story, a full narrative arc featuring a major antagonist, new side quests, and an overhauled Bounty Board.
- Whoâs the boss?: weâve added two new bosses, including the big bad boss (that would be the antagonist we mentioned), lieutenants, and umbra enemies.
- Fully reworked difficulty system: weâve added an entirely new difficulty system, a complete rebalance of the game, and a new âBrutalâ difficulty for those who enjoy breaking controllers and swearing at their screens.
- Map it out: weâve reworked and reimagined the World Map and added a new coastal biome.
- New Encounters & Combat Challenges: weâve added new gear and player abilities, a new Forge system with the ability to modify, upgrade, and re-roll stats
- Is there more? Yes, thereâs more! We have new music from the man/myth/maestro Austin Wintory, a bunch of quality of life and bug fixes, no more cosmetic purchasing â you can acquire all cosmetics free through gameplay, we added a TON of new cosmetics, and weâve included multiple save slots and the ability to import your current character and associated loot.
Thatâs just a high-level look at what you can expect with the full game release of Towerborne. This major update represents a huge shift for the game and the community, and we have worked hard to incorporate as much of your feedback as we could. We could not have done this without your participation and contributions, and again, we want to thank each and every one of you.
