Vibrant life sim Witchbrook has locked down a January 2027 release date for PC, consoles, and Xbox Game Pass. Designed for between one and four players and likely to appeal to Stardew Valley fans, it is the fourth title officially confirmed to be coming to Xbox Game Pass during the first month of 2027.
Witchbrook is part spellbinding RPG and part magical life sim, developed by former Stardew Valley publisher Chucklefish in partnership with German studio Robotality. The project has been in the works for about a decade, having first been revealed in 2017. In March 2025, Chucklefish confirmed that Witchbrook would be a day-one Xbox Game Pass title, back when it was still targeting a 2025 release. That launch window was formally pushed to 2026 seven months later, with the publisher only now confirming a further delay into 2027.
The Xbox Game Pass catalog is in for another large downsizing wave on October 31, when it is confirmed to be losing at least 8 titles.
What is different this time around is that Witchbrook finally has a release date: January 28, 2027. Chucklefish confirmed as much in a brand-new trailer that premiered during Nintendo's latest Indie World presentation in late October 2026. Witchbrook will be a day-one release for PC and the latest two generations of Xbox consoles, as well as Xbox Game Pass. Outside of Microsoft's ecosystem, it will also launch on the PS4, PS5, and both Switch generations.
Release date aside, the new trailer also offered a closer look at several aspects of the game that Chucklefish had yet to show in much detail.
