When did The Zibbo Show come out on Xbox?
The Zibbo Show launched on Xbox Series X|S and Xbox on PC on 29 October 2026. Read our launch story.
Is The Zibbo Show on Game Pass?
No. It isn’t included with any Game Pass tier, so it’s a straight purchase. We’ll update this page if that changes.
How much is The Zibbo Show?
It’s £17.99 / $19.99 on the Microsoft Store. It’s an Xbox Play Anywhere game, so one purchase covers Xbox Series X|S and Xbox on PC.
How does The Zibbo Show play?
Each match is a dice duel. You and your opponent both have a 3×3 board and nine dice, and you take turns placing one die at a time. Matching values in a column multiply your score, and placing the right dice opposite an enemy column destroys their dice. You bet before every match: win and the stake doubles, lose and it’s gone.
Between matches, the shop sells cards, dice upgrades and chips. Cards shape how your build scores, dice faces can be upgraded with new effects, and single-use chips let you sabotage your rival directly. There are 48 cards to unlock and collect across runs.
How long is a run?
A run is 12 rounds against increasingly dangerous opponents, finishing with a grand finale against Zibbo himself. If you lose, a Spin of Luck ticket gives you another shot at the same opponent and a chance to revisit the shop first.
Who makes The Zibbo Show?
Tessera Studios is a Madrid-based studio founded in 2017. It has worked on games for major licences including Star Trek and Transformers, and The Zibbo Show is the first game it has published itself.
