Holstin Targets 2027 Release With Day One Xbox Game Pass Launch

Team17 announced during the XBOX @ gamescom Broadcast 2026 on August 28 that Holstin, a psychological survival horror game developed by Polish studio Sonka, is planned for release on PC and consoles in 2027. The game will be available on Xbox Game Pass from day one of launch. Set in a rural town in eastern Poland in November 1992, the story follows protagonist Tomasz Wolanski as he searches for a missing friend and becomes caught up in an unidentified disaster. Players gather weapons and supplies, fight enemies, and extract information from residents to uncover the town's secrets. A notable feature is Sonka's proprietary "2XD Rendering" technology, which fuses pixel art with 3D camera expression. The viewpoint shifts seamlessly between isometric movement, over-the-shoulder combat, first-person driving, top-down, and side-scrolling perspectives depending on the situation. The gamescom 2026 trailer shows exploration and combat in a town covered in slime, along with the camera perspective switches. Holstin is scheduled to support Japanese display, and a demo is available on Steam. The game is slated for PC (Steam, GOG, Microsoft Store), PS5, Xbox Series X|S, and Nintendo Switch.

Publisher Team17 announced on August 28 that Bossa Games is developing 'What Goes Up', a physics-based cooperative building game. It is scheduled for release later this year on PC, PS5, and Xbox Series X|S, and will also be available on PC and Xbox Game Pass. The trailer premiered during the 'XBOX @ gamescom Broadcast 2026' Day 2 stream on August 27. Players work as employees of the waste disposal company 'Galactic Refuse', dispatched to planets littered with garbage from Earth.

The game supports solo play and online co-op for up to four players. Hazards include lava rivers, high voltage, meteor showers, and incompetent colleagues, but fallen workers can be revived via a 3D printer.
