If you love factory-building games, chances are you’ve heard of Satisfactory. Developed by Coffee Stain Studios, it’s an open-world, first-person factory-building game that’s had players hooked since its early access release in 2020.
Satisfactory is one of those dangerously addictive games where you tell yourself, “Just one more conveyor belt,” and suddenly it’s 3 AM. Trust me, I’ve been there. You start off on an alien planet with nothing but few basic tools, and before you know it, you’re building conveyor belts, machines, and a never-ending urge to optimize everything.
The whole point? Build the most efficient factory possible—turning raw materials into massive production lines that run like clockwork. And let me tell you, watching everything work perfectly is ridiculously satisfying… until you realize you’ve somehow created a tangled mess and have to tear half of it down. If you love problem-solving, exploring, and making things run smoother than a fresh jar of peanut butter, this game will absolutely hook you.
Now that Satisfactory has officially launched its 1.0 version for PC as of September 10, 2024, the big question is: When is it coming to Xbox?
Is Satisfactory Coming to Xbox Series X/S?
Yes, but not just yet. Alongside the 1.0 release, Coffee Stain Studios confirmed that Satisfactory is coming to consoles, including Xbox Series X/S and PlayStation 5. They haven’t given us a specific release date, but they’ve said the console versions are planned for sometime in 2025.
The good news? The console release is expected before the rollout of Satisfactory’s next major update, Version 1.1. So if you’re on Xbox, you won’t be left behind when new features drop!
Will Satisfactory Have Cross-Play on Xbox?
A big question for console players is whether Satisfactory will support cross-platform play between PC and Xbox. Right now, the devs haven’t confirmed anything. However, one thing we do know is that official controller support is coming for both PC and console versions, meaning the game will feel more natural to play on a controller.
What’s Next for Satisfactory?
Once the game lands on Xbox, Coffee Stain Studios has big plans. The team is already working on Version 1.1, which will bring new features and improvements. They haven’t shared exact details yet, but the community is eagerly waiting for what’s next.
Should You Wait for Satisfactory on Xbox?
If you’re an Xbox player, you’ve got a bit of a wait ahead. But at least we know it’s officially happening—which is more than we could say a few months ago! If you can’t wait, the game is already out on PC (Steam & Epic Games Store). Otherwise, keep an eye out for updates.
No matter what, one thing’s for sure: Satisfactory is expanding, and Xbox players will finally get their chance to build massive, crazy factories in an alien world.
