Update (Wed 1st Mar, 2023): After a bit of confusion surrounding the release date, Sifu has finally now been confirmed to be arriving on Xbox One, Xbox Series X and Xbox Series S on March 28th, 2023.
Original story (Tue 20th Dec, 2022): We've got another game to add to the list of new Xbox releases early next year, as the former PlayStation 5 console exclusive Sifu has been announced as coming to the Xbox platform at some point in March 2023.
If you haven't heard of it, Sifu is a third-person brawler focused around Kung Fu combat and "cinematic martial arts action". The Xbox release will also coincide with a brand-new Arenas mode as highlighted in the trailer above.
Our sister site Push Square previously gave Sifu a "Great" 8/10 rating when it first arrived on PlayStation 5 in February 2022, praising it as an extremely rewarding game that remains "consistently challenging and demanding".
You can check out more information about Sifu below, along with a few screenshots.
Whether you choose to play as a male or a female character, in Sifu, you will ponder that question on your path for revenge, hunting down your family’s assassins. One against all, you have no allies, countless enemies, and a mysterious amulet to bring you back to life every time you die. Yet, be warned! Your secret weapon comes with a hefty price to pay: aging and its consequences.
Looking forward to Sifu on Xbox? Played it before? Let us know down in the comments below.

About Time, i've held off buying the PS version
Game Pass it Xbox
Seems like the perfect game to put onto gamepass, A high quality indie that's short and sweet.
@UltimateOtaku91 it’s not going into Gamepass
Bought it on PC a while back. Did not start playing until I got the Steam Deck in September. Strange different platforms spur you to start finally try a game.
The game is fun. You learn by dying and adjusting your tactics. Learning the offensive and especially defensive moves is key.
Been tempted to pick this up on ps5 a few times...think I will just wait untill it comes to either ps plus or gamepass
I'm pretty sure it's on PS4 too. Also on Switch I think?

We've heard that before
@mousieone I know, I meant it would be perfect for gamepass. But there's still a chance it will come to gamepass but leave the announcement for the rumoured xbox show.
Awesome news! The game is really fantastic, and I had an absolute blast playing it on my PS5. I never finished it because I was playing Horizon Forbidden West and Elden Ring, so this will give me the perfect excuse to complete it on the Series X.
@Lup Switch was a recent thing, but you're right about PS4. Totally slipped my mind.
Altered the headline slightly!
I loved Absolver so Sifu is going to be a day one for me.
If it comes to Game Pass that’d be nice but Sloclap have my money either way.
@Ape hahaha agreed!
@themightyant not saying it won’t ever be there but I don’t think it will be Day 1. They usually shout that from the sky but I guess I’d the rumored showcase is true they might say there I just think it’s further down the road.. .
@UltimateOtaku91 agreed
@mousieone I agree, but stranger things have happened. There have been a few that weren't announced, including a few like Tunic that were outright denied weeks before release, but ended up coming Day 1 anyway. Late deal perhaps? Wishful thinking?
It would be a great get for Microsoft. Perfect fit for game pass I feel, as it's a little niche and many consumers may be on the fence.
@Chaudy was thinking the same thing.
This is one I'd probably only play on GP. I heard a lot about it, but heard it's basically indie Nioh which I suck horribly at. I just bought Elden, so that's enough suffering for money for the year.
@NEStalgia Its added lower difficulty levels since initial release, so not quite the brick wall challenge you might expect.
@Titntin That's encouraging! I was intrigued, originally, then saw the reviews of the Nioh like combat, and, having bought 2 Niohs and Sekiro and played exactly the first stage or two of any of them figured it's not worth throwing money at. But with lower difficulty that definitely sounds more worthwhile.
Saw this game a lil while back. I was hoping thing this would happen. Thanksss
Great game this! Highly recommended
@NEStalgia I'm the same, try as I might, I could never get through Nioh, my poor old mans reflexes just could not cope
I'm vey keen on playing this though now that you can adjust difficulty....
I ordered this on PS5 but didn't realise it only came in a steel book so I returned it. I really hate steel books. Hopefully this will be in a standard case.
Got this on release on Playstation. I def recommend. Even if you never liked beat em ups. There’s a lot to mastering it. You have to literally become good at karate with the pad. Solid 9/10 for me as far as beat em ups go. Very technical.
I didn't wait and bought this last year on PC (Epic store). Great game. Very challenging. You have to buckle down and learn how to play.
I can't believe this came to Switch before Xbox haha wth
@KaijuKaiser
I get that you still live off your parents and have no real perspective of bills and money management. We were all there once. But if you are old enough to feel like commenting on articles on an Xbox -centric website, PURE XBOX, when you are obviously a PlayStation fan.
The only people who talk ***** about other people getting the most out of their money are PlayStation fans. Why? Because Sony is not even subtle when it comes to them taking full advantage over their user-base and their wallets. So, they feel necessary to justify their blatant disregard for their own spending habits and stupidity, by calling people who actually think about getting the most bang for their buck, by calling them "brokies".
LoL That is by far the most immature and pathetic way of putting someone else down. When in reality, wasting your money on ***** that other people are getting for a better price, does not make you better in anyway. It makes you ignorant, and flat out stupid if you feel like spending more for the same product makes you superior in anyway haha.
Get a life.
As someone who has a career and makes plenty of money to buy any video game or video game related product on the market, and I have way more than I need (Series X, PS5, Switch, Gaming computer with a VR set up). But if bought all of that at full price or on sale, it doesn't matter to anyone else. Just my own personal bank account.
So you valuing that you spend more than others on video games... I am sorry to inform ya son, and I get living in your parents' extra bedroom makes it not really even matter for your adolescent ass. But some day, you will realize that girls are not going to like you more because you have a PS5 LoL.
So instead of calling other people "Brokies" go get a job, work towards something real. Better yourself instead of comparing yourself to others. Cause this just in, no matter who you are, you aren't ***** compared to someone else who wipes their ass with more money than you have ever had in your life.
Perspective is everything.
@Stoned_Patrol To be fair Xbox players do tend to have this mentally of "wait for Gamepass" or "will only play if its on Gamepass". Its not a bad thing and the other guy was out of line with his insult but the image of Xbox players only caring about a game if its on Gamepass is sadly becoming a thing.
@KaijuKaiser you say it was a joke, but in your previous comment to the same guy you doubled down 🤣 not the best look pal.
@KaijuKaiser good you should feel bad. Just because he won’t pay full price for games doesn’t mean he’s poor.
@Fenbops Kaiju is a perfect example of a miserable troll, just put them on ignore and stop giving them the attention they crave.
@JayJ nah I really don’t mind the banter I don’t really put anyone on ignore. Only 1 person has that privilege, our PlayStation friend Otaku or whatever. I know I’m on ignore by a few people though, most comments sections I can only see one side of a conversation 🤣🤣
@WallyWest
"Xbox players only caring about a game if it is on Game Pass"
Yeah that simply is a narrative completely made up by your own thoughts or media. I have 18 people online right now on my friends list.... and 3 of them are playing Game Pass games. ! on Grounded, 1 on Madden 23, and 1 on Sea of Thieves. I am currently playing Dead Space as well. Their are A LOT of good games out right now. The majority of people on my friends list are playing Hogwarts still.
So yes I have been "burned" by buying a game that came to Game Pass weeks later (It Takes 2), and I was a tad bit reserved on buying games when that happened. But at the same time, When Game Pass is hitting and I feel like I am getting a lot of great games for "free", I end up going big on one of the what feels like non stop sales going on in the game store. I have bought 5 games in the last 2 weeks. A lot of them older games but still l really do disagree with the narrative that people dont buy games and just wait for them to come to game pass on Xbox.
If it is an EA game, well then yeah, you know it will come eventually. Other than EA games and ones that are announced way ahead of time, I personally do not count on them to come to Game Pass.
If I buy them and they do, well then I will have more friends to play it with is my take on it now. I bought it cause I really wanted to play it.
@theduckofdeath has some fantastic mods too. Love this game.
