Planet Coaster: Console Edition, Out Now on Xbox Series X|S and Xbox One

Hayo, coaster fans! Lloyd Morgan-Moore here, Producer at Frontier Developments, and this is a monumental moment. That’s because, right now, you can play Planet Coaster: Console Edition across next-gen and current-gen Xbox platforms. We could not be happier to bring the fun and thrills of coaster park management to Xbox Series X|S, and Xbox One. What’s more I’m incredibly excited to say that Planet Coaster: Console Edition is also available with Xbox Game Pass starting today, just in time for launch!

So let me talk a bit about what makes Planet Coaster: Console Edition so special. For starters, there are a variety of ways to play. This includes an engaging career mode, beginning with a fully voiced tutorial in which a friendly cast of characters help get you up to speed, before joining you on your journey through a number of varied scenarios from Island Paradises to Festive Funlands. If you’re looking for a challenge you can test your mettle in four different difficulty settings providing the perfect skill test, or flex your creative muscles in an expansive sandbox mode allowing you to create the coaster park of your dreams. No matter your age or experience level, Planet Coaster: Console Edition is made for you.

Next, there are the optimised controls. We’ve gone back and looked at how to utilise the Xbox’s intuitive gamepad to make building and managing epic coaster parks wonderfully satisfying. With a brand new radial menu, putting the most frequently used shortcuts at your fingertips, an always active panel granting you the ability to make quick changes on the fly without disrupting your flow and much more, it’s never been easier to quickly craft the ultimate coaster park.

New blueprints also feature in Planet Coaster: Console Edition. Expanding upon an already extensive collection of construction materials, Planet Coaster: Console Edition adds hundreds of beautifully crafted blueprints from enchanting shopfronts to captivating coasters. Blueprints are a perfect way for you to jump straight into the action. There’s also extensive piece-by-piece construction giving you limitless creative options to assemble anything your mind can fathom. Between piece-by-piece construction and hundreds of new blueprints, you’ll have all the tools to build it your way.

If you’re looking to take your creations further there’s the Frontier Workshop. The Workshop is a fantastic global where players can show off anything they create and take inspiration from each other. Here you can find an endless source of incredible content at your fingertips to help you personalise every aspect of your park, or upload your own for players around the world to enjoy. What’s really exciting, is the Workshop works across console generations, enabling you to carry your creations and parks from Xbox One to Xbox Series X|S making it even easier to join our globe-spanning community of awesome creators.

Additionally, Planet Coaster: Console Edition supports Smart Delivery, so those who purchase on Xbox One will get a free upgrade on their Xbox Series X or Xbox Series S at no additional charge. In addition, achievements and game saves carry over, so you can pick up where you left off on the Xbox console of your choice. 

Speaking of choice, you’ve also got the option of expanding upon the rich assortment of rides and coasters available by purchasing Planet Coaster: Deluxe Edition. As well as the base game, you will also get access to both the Magnificent Rides Collection and the Classic Rides Collection, offering up a total of 18 new rides and coasters, inspired by some of the most iconic attractions from fairgrounds and theme parks around the world.

We cannot wait for you to play Planet Coaster: Console Edition and discover an irresistible world of magic on Xbox. With added enhancements, stunning optimisation, and a multitude of ways to play, we think you’re going to love it. As a bonus, the pre-order incentive has been extended until 24 November, so there’s still time for players who purchase the game to earn the fantastically whimsical coaster, Oswald’s Magnificent Machine. Now if you’ll excuse me I’m off to put the finishing touches on my latest park, Calamity Canyon.
