This Side-Scrolling RPG Brawler Is Launching On Game Pass For Its Console Debut

Towerborne's console version will include new features like couch co-op and cross-play

As detailed in an Xbox Wire post, all versions of the game, including the Steam version, will additionally be receiving the free Class Mastery update on April 29 that retools major parts of the game by adding a new class progression system and a revamped world map and main quest. Class Mastery will introduce skill points players can use to customize their class and introduce new skills and mechanics that will change how each class is played. Skill points can be swapped freely between missions, allowing players to experiment and find the perfect build for their playstyle.

The Class Mastery update will also add new enemies, items, and Umbra spirit companions alongside the ability to remap controls, improvements to the game's group finder, and a new health flask item that will change how dying and reviving works.

Those playing on Xbox but who aren't members of Game Pass can still check out Towerborne via the Xbox Game Preview program, where it will require the purchase of a Founder's pack that comes with additional cosmetics and monthly rewards. Game Pass members will also score some in-game extras in the form of an exclusive set of Game Pass Perks for Towerborne (though what exactly those perks will be have not been revealed). How much Towerborne's Founder's Pack will cost on Xbox hasn't been announced, but a silver Founder's Pack on Steam is $25, while a gold version with more in-game content is $45.

In an early hands-on preview from shortly before the game's early access release, we said Towerborne's MMO-like progression systems and deep combat held promise and served as smart updates to the side-scrolling beat-'em-up genre.
