Queen’s Domain launched on Xbox on 30 October 2026. Our news story on the launch is Queen’s Domain is out now on Xbox Series X|S.
What is Queen’s Domain?
It’s a retro-fantasy action RPG with brutal combat and traversal-based exploration. You wash up on the shores of the Isle of Neasied searching for your missing father, and set out to uncover the dark heart of the island. In the publisher’s words, “the sleeping Queen has begun to stir”.
Future Friends Games describes it as FromSoft-inspired, and the press quotes it shared at launch compare it to King’s Field.
When did it come out, and on which Xbox platforms?
Queen’s Domain launched on 30 October 2026 on Xbox Series X|S, according to the Xbox Store listing. It’s a digital release, and the Store lists it for Xbox Series X|S only.
Is Queen’s Domain on Game Pass or Xbox Play Anywhere?
No to both. It isn’t in the Game Pass library, and no Game Pass release has been announced. It isn’t an Xbox Play Anywhere title either: the Store listing only has a console version, so it’s a straight Xbox Series X|S purchase.
How much does Queen’s Domain cost?
It’s £16.74 / $19.99 on the Xbox Store. A launch discount is running on the Store until 6 November 2026.
How does it play?
The headline trick is the Legendary Holy Sword Endu, which lets you fly from platform to platform. Upgrade it and you can fly further. The island is one interconnected, labyrinthine world full of secrets and dangers. According to Future Friends Games, you get:
- Combat: a classic stamina meter, charge attacks, weapon-specific special attacks and secondary throwing weapons
- Weapons: more than 50 melee weapons to find, equip and upgrade, plus over 20 types of throwing weapon
- Levelling: earn XP to level up, and eat food to boost your stats further
- Enemies: over 100 enemies, mini-bosses and bosses
- Length: dozens of hours of adventuring. The launch press release puts typical playtime at 40-plus hours
