Classic Xbox 360 title, Darwinia+, is now available to play on Xbox One and Xbox Series X|S - and to celebrate, this week it’s 50% off!

In 2006, after virtually sweeping the board at the interactive global “Oscars” of the time, we set out to make what became “The Director’s Cut” version of Darwinia.

We call it Darwinia+. What did the “+” mean? Well, we spent three years adding a whole new multiplayer game (Multiwinia), re-worked and harmonised the control and User Interface systems, crafted new tutorials and added cool Xbox features like Avatar Awards.

In short, we reviewed the entire game and tweaked and tuned the systems and components until it became as good as it could possibly be. The fact we almost killed the company doing it, is an added bonus feature.

The Critics really liked it:

"This is one of the richest, most complex experiences available on Microsoft's downloadable game platform". 8.9 out of 10 IGN Review

"Stylishly retro, the Darwinia format has lost none of its appeal for having been translated over to console. If you're looking for one of the best multiplayer experiences on XBLA, look no further." 8.7 out of 10 Now Gamer Review

"The attraction of Darwinia+ cannot be ignored, shouldn't be underestimated and will never be forgotten". 9 out of 10 Gaming Liberty Review

Until recently, however, it was only playable on X360 - but Darwinia+ has now been revamped to work on all Microsoft Consoles - and to celebrate that, we’re making it 50% off for the next week.

We are as proud of Darwinia+ as we are of our better known, mega-hit title Prison Architect - so if you’ve got an XBox and are curious to see what we did before that came along, give it a try. Did we mention it’s 50% off this week?!
