What is Pigeon Simulator?

It’s a comedy action game in which you play as a pigeon working for P.E.K., a top-secret government unit. Anomalies have begun terrorising New Squawk City, and your job is to locate, identify, neutralise and extract them for research, all while keeping the pigeons’ role in the government a secret. Your daily earnings pay for better abilities and tools, and you need to hit your quotas.

Who makes it, and when did it come out on Xbox?

tinyBuild Riga develops it, and tinyBuild publishes it. It came out on Xbox on 11 November 2025, and it’s on Xbox Series X|S. You’ll find it on the Xbox Store.

Is Pigeon Simulator leaving Game Pass?

Yes. Pigeon Simulator leaves Xbox Game Pass on Sunday 15 November 2026. It’s in the Leaving soon section of Game Pass in the Xbox app, and the Game Pass data on its Xbox Store listing ends its access on the morning of 16 November (UK time), so 15 November is the last full day to play. Until then it’s included with Game Pass Ultimate, Game Pass Premium and PC Game Pass. Xbox hadn’t announced this batch on Xbox Wire when we checked on 2 November 2026; TrueAchievements reports the same date.

For the full list, see our story: GoldenEye 007 and 13 More Games Are Leaving Xbox Game Pass. Once it leaves, you’ll need to buy Pigeon Simulator to keep playing, but any achievements you’ve unlocked stay on your profile.

Is it on Xbox Cloud Gaming and Xbox Play Anywhere?

You can stream it with Xbox Cloud Gaming while it’s in Game Pass. It’s also an Xbox Play Anywhere game, so one purchase covers Xbox consoles and PC through the Xbox PC app, with shared progress. The Store lists Xbox cloud saves.

How many achievements does Pigeon Simulator have?

Pigeon Simulator has 10 achievements worth 1,000 Gamerscore, according to TrueAchievements. The TrueAchievements walkthrough estimates 1 to 2 hours for the full list. None are missable.

Everything we’ve written about the game is in one place on our Pigeon Simulator hub, and we’ll keep this page updated if anything changes.
