Remnant: From the Ashes is already available for Xbox Series X|S, Xbox One, PS5, PS4, Xbox Game Pass for consoles, PC, and Xbox Cloud Gaming through Xbox Game Pass Ultimate. However, Remnant: From the Ashes is also joining the Microsoft Store and Xbox app on Windows 10, and is now available through Xbox Game Pass for PC. Even better, Remnant: From the Ashes is adding full cross-play support between Xbox and Windows 10 versions.

There really has never been a better time to play Remnant: From the Ashes. If you love the game and want to get the most out of it, you can also check out the Remnant: From the Ashes - Swamps of Corsus expansion which adds a ton of new content on top of the base game.
