Recently, a product page for Giant Squid's "Sword of the Sea" appeared on the Xbox Store, inadvertently revealing the existence of an Xbox Series X|S port.
Store pages typically go live when a product is nearing release, so this version may not be far off. However, neither the developer nor the platform holders have officially announced the port or provided a specific release date, and there is no information available for PS4 or Nintendo Switch versions either.
"Sword of the Sea" was released in 2025 for the PS5 and PC, launching day-one on PlayStation Plus. The game holds a Metacritic score of 88, received nominations for Original Music Achievement at the 29th D.I.C.E. Awards and Game of the Year at the 15th New York Game Awards, and won the Best Score Soundtrack for Video Games and Other Interactive Media at the 68th Grammy Awards. The core experience revolves around high-speed gliding on a hoverboard-like sword, blending light puzzle-solving and exploration with a strong emphasis on music, art, and atmosphere.
Reports estimate the main story takes about 3 to 4 hours, while full completion requires around 10 hours. If the Xbox version is not included in Game Pass, its price might be $30, but neither the subscription arrangement nor the pricing has been officially confirmed.
