No Rest for the Wicked 1.0 Reaches PS5 in October, Xbox Later

No Rest for the Wicked version 1.0 is scheduled for PS5 in October 2026, while the Xbox version will not launch alongside it. The June 4 r/Games post linked VGC’s report on Moon Studios CEO Thomas Mahler, who said Series S work is making the Xbox release difficult to line up with PS5.

The practical status is simple for players. PC remains the Early Access platform. PS5 now has the October 2026 full-release window. Xbox Series X|S does not yet have the same date, because the studio still has to solve the Series S target.

The Reddit discussion split around Microsoft’s two-console requirement. Some commenters argued that Series S owners bought into the same Xbox generation and should expect support. Others treated the post as another example of the lower-spec console affecting launch timing, optimization scope, or feature decisions.

For players, this is less about platform debate and more about when each version can be bought. PS5 users can plan around the October 1.0 release. Xbox users need a separate date. PC players already have access, but the full-release build will be the comparison point for balance, performance, and content when console versions start shipping.
