Well, put simply – the best free-to-play build will be informed by feedback and what players want to see.

Our “Founder” feedback has been instrumental to our game improvements so far (Founders are all of those who’ve chosen to partake in playing Towerborne during this pre-1.0-launch period).

So, we want to welcome those who want to build with us – to help us get Towerborne into the best place it can be before we widen the audience to a lot more players … which we’re excited to do, when we get there!

Towerborne is sold for a fixed price during Early Access / Game Preview. The game is technically still in development – becoming a Founder by purchasing a Founder’s pack will get you early access to play Towerborne, and with your help we will fine tune the game on its way to a full, 1.0 free-to-play release.

If you are a Game Pass member, you’ll be able to access the game at no additional cost via your membership.

As a Founder, your support helps us create an experience that will captivate and entertain for years to come – and you’ll receive an item each month (perhaps more than one item, depending on your Founder’s Pack tier) as a reward for your ongoing support and to enhance your in-game experience.

Towerborne is currently ‘Steam Deck Playable’. This means that while the game performs well, you might need to tweak a few settings or customize controls to achieve your ideal gameplay experience—so adventure-on-the-go is fully within reach, with just a little personalization.

Eventually, we’ll be ‘Steam Deck Verified‘ – which is full Steam Deck functionality. We’re still working towards official Steam Deck Verified status, but don’t yet have a date to share.

In order to enjoy cross-progression, you’ll need to link any accounts that are not on the same platform (Xbox, Windows PC, Steam). More information on how to link accounts can be found here.

Towerborne supports cross-platform progression. This means that your progress will carry over when the game launches on other platforms. This means that your progress will carry over no matter the platform, ensuring a seamless experience.

As a Founder, you’re not just here to take up the cause to protect humanity — by being a Founder, you’ve also joined the select few whose strength and choices and actions will forge the future of Towerborne. To show our appreciation, we’re offering exclusive monthly bonuses to Silver and Gold Founders. With the release of Update 4, you may now log in at any time to claim all previous Monthly Founder’s Bonuses.

To claim your monthly bonus: Once you’re logged in and on the Belfry, open your menu. If you’re on keyboard, press [ESC] … a menu will appear. Click the Store tab. Click on an item to select it. Click on Claim to add the item to your inventory.

Xbox Game Pass members will receive additional perks in Towerborne, and will be able to play Towerborne in Game Preview for free. There are other Game Pass tiers – not all of which provide free access to the game. The other options include:

• Game Pass Core – this is required to play online. Towerborne / Game Pass Bonus are not included; however, you can choose to purchase a Founder’s pack for access to the game and Founder’s perks/rewards.
• Game Pass Standard & PC Game Pass – Towerborne access (and Game Pass bonus) is included 
• Game Pass Ultimate – Towerborne access (and Game Pass bonus) is included 

There will be couch co-op on Xbox (console only for now).

• Player 1 (Host): Sign in to your Xbox account and launch Towerborne.
• Players 2–4: Before joining, each sign in on the same console with their own Xbox account—press “Join” at the title screen.

The first person signed in becomes the Host (crown icon). Everyone’s progress saves to their individual accounts. If the Host quits or disconnects, the session ends for all players.

Launching on Steam Early Access is a deliberate decision that aligns with Stoic’s development philosophy. We believe in bringing real players into the process as early as possible to gather meaningful feedback and make improvements.

In Early Access, Steam allows us to dynamically engage with a passionate and committed community of players who are excited to help shape the game as it grows—allowing us to gather feedback and iterate in a way that benefits both players and the development team. Towerborne is designed to be a living game, which means it will be continually updated and refined over time.
