Buckshot Roulette Hits Xbox and Microsoft Store at $2.99 as 4 Million Sales Fuel Debut

Q: Why are PlayStation and Switch players still waiting for the viral horror hit Buckshot Roulette?

PlayStation and Switch players are still waiting because *Buckshot Roulette* has only launched on Xbox and PC so far, and the PlayStation and Nintendo Switch versions are reportedly still in development. The game made its console debut on July 8, 2026, on Xbox Series X|S, Xbox One, cloud, and Xbox on PC, with immediate availability through Game Pass and Xbox Play Anywhere. That rollout does not include Sony or Nintendo platforms, and no release date for those versions has been announced. Reporting tied to the launch indicates the delay is linked to technical difficulties affecting the PlayStation and Switch ports. Beyond that, neither developer Mike Klubnika nor publisher CRITICAL REFLEX has publicly provided a detailed explanation or timeline. That means the wait is not because the game skipped consoles entirely; it has now reached consoles through Xbox first. But for PlayStation and Switch owners, the practical issue is simple: those ports are not finished or dated yet. Until the developer or publisher confirms launch plans, those players remain in limbo despite the game’s viral success on Itch.io, Steam, and now Xbox.

$2.99 horror hit Buckshot Roulette is now live on Xbox Series, Xbox One and PC via the Microsoft Store, with the release also included in Game Pass.
The Xbox debut brings the two-to-four-player multiplayer mode added on Steam last year, plus new items that can quickly swing a round.
CRITICAL REFLEX said the game has sold more than 4 million copies since its 2024 Steam release, where it earned an 85 Metacritic score and awards nominations.
That expansion pushes the viral indie beyond Steam and itch.io into Microsoft's ecosystem, extending a breakout title built on a shotgun-twisted Russian roulette premise.
