You might have missed the game, which has been living in the temple that is Steam Early Access up until now, and so news of Phantom Abyss coming to Game Pass for Xbox Series X|S is truly expansive and exciting. The Aussie-developed "temple plundering asynchronous multiplayer" game is one of the most enjoyable whip-swingin' experiences you'll find and it comes to the Xbox platform with updates and new content.

Beginning on October 20th, intrepid Xbox players will join the hunt for glory, dodging scores of hidden traps, leaping treacherous chasms, and fleeing relentless guardians through branching paths until one of the relics are claimed or the devices of death overwhelm them.

But be warned, only one adventurer can claim each temple’s prize, and every soul brave enough to try gets just one chance before it’s lost forever…

Asynchronous Multiplayer
Explore the perilous halls of each temple alongside the phantoms of fallen players. Use their successes and failures to your advantage to reach the precious artefacts that eluded them.

Three Modes of Play

• Adventure mode: Conquer temples to claim powerful relics and earn explorer reputation.
  
  
• Classic mode: A classic rogue-like experience. Delve into a large and progressively difficult temple.
  
  
• Daily mode: The same temple is available to all players for 24 hours. Unlike other modes, players can retry this temple as many times as they like.

Unique Tools
Unlock new whips to choose from before venturing into your next temple. Each whip carries a powerful blessing but also a curse that may complicate your attempt at riches and glory.

Phantom Abyss will also continue in Steam Early Access and Xbox Game Preview as Team WIBY continues to refine its desire to kill you, crush your spirit and add your dust to its layers upon layers within its unrelenting temples.

Really do go and check it out, it's a remarkably fun experience.
