Albion Online: The Long-Running MMORPG Comes to Xbox Series X|S Today

Summary

Xbox Game Pass subscribers can link their account to claim an exclusive in-game benefit bundle.
Albion Online offers seamless cross-platform play across Xbox Series X|S, Xbox on PC, other PC storefronts, and mobile.

After a long ride through dense forests, icy mountains, and humid swamps, a city emerges ahead of you, teeming with life. You look around at the people here. Some ride oxen laden with valuable resources. Some carry gleaming weapons etched with the scars of battle. Some barter at the marketplace, next to strange beasts that you’ve never laid eyes on before. And some seem to be going on a fishing trip.

This is the world of Albion Online, a renowned MMORPG that’s available on Xbox Series X|S for the first time today.

For those who aren’t familiar, Albion Online is a massive open-world MMORPG set in a medieval fantasy world. Developed by German studio Sandbox Interactive, it’s been around since 2017 – and arrived for Xbox on PC last year – gradually building up a following of devoted players across the globe. With three servers (Americas, Europe, and Asia), fifteen supported languages, and full cross-platform playability across PC and mobile, it’s a genuinely thriving world. Now, Xbox Series X|S is being added to the mix.

So what can players expect when they start playing Albion Online? A massive open world to explore. A player-driven economy where almost every item is crafted by players from resources gathered and traded on the game’s network of marketplaces. Classless combat, where your abilities are determined by the gear you choose. Massive, coordinated battles between powerful guilds. Islands, where you can farm your crops in peace before selling them at the marketplace… the list goes on.

Albion Online’s world is truly vast, offering PvP (both full-loot and more forgiving varieties), PvE, economics, exploration, gathering, and a whole lot more.

The console release is an extension of Albion Online’s cross-platform offering. No corners have been cut, and the whole game is playable in all its glory from the comfort of your sofa, with the same servers shared across platforms. New players can jump straight in with their Xbox account, while existing players can just hop over to their console and continue their journey without losing any of their character’s progress. And Albion Online’s cross-platform playability means that you can jump from Xbox, to PC, to phone as you please without skipping a beat.

The team have worked hard on developing controller for this release to make it a smooth, seamless experience. Key UIs have been redesigned for console play, new accessibility options and radial menus have been added, and combat has received particular attention to make sure console players are competitive on the battlefield. And if you prefer to use a keyboard and mouse, that’s supported for console, too – just plug them in and away you go.

If you link your Xbox Game Pass account, there are even some exclusive rewards on offer to give your journey a boost. The ancient, imposing Elite Green Knight vanity bundle is only available for Xbox Game Pass players, along with three days Premium to get you started, and Fame books to develop your skills.

For MMO fans, Albion Online brings the real deal to Xbox. And if you’re just looking for something new to jump into, it offers a huge, thriving free-to-play world where you can write your own story. There’s no reason not to try it out, so set sail for Albion and see what legends await!
