Devolver Digital has announced today that the award-winning GRIS is finally coming to Xbox consoles, four years after it first debuted for PC and Nintendo Switch in 2018. It's an Xbox Series X and Xbox Series S release (no sign of Xbox One here), and it'll be arriving next week on Tuesday, December 13th.
If you've never heard of it, our friends at Nintendo Life described GRIS as being "one of the most emotional pieces of interactive art you’ll ever play" in their 9/10 review, even going as far as calling it "a masterpiece".
Here's the official description from Devolver Digital:
"Gris is a hopeful young girl lost in her own world, dealing with a painful experience in her life. Her journey through sorrow is manifested in her dress, which grants new abilities to better navigate her faded reality. As the story unfolds, Gris will grow emotionally and see her world in a different way, revealing new paths to explore using her new abilities.
GRIS is a serene and evocative experience, free of danger, frustration or death. Players will explore a meticulously designed world brought to life with delicate art, detailed animation, and an elegant original score. Through the game light puzzles, platforming sequences, and optional skill-based challenges will reveal themselves as more of Gris’s world becomes accessible."
GRIS has been jumping around various platforms over the past few years, arriving for iOS and PlayStation 4 in 2019 before heading to Android in 2020, but we've never seen it crop up on Xbox until now. It's about time!
Better yet, the Xbox Series X version runs at 4K/60FPS or 2K/120FPS (it's up to you), while the Xbox Series S version also boasts the same 2K resolution with support for 120 frames per-second!
You can check out the new trailer for GRIS above, along with some Steam screenshots below.

It’s actually been out on mobile all that time as well. I played it on iOS and it is a great game. Glad to see it finally hitting consoles!
@awp69 It's been on consoles for a while. Well Switch and PS4.
Seems to always be Xbox that gets games years after every other platform.
@GamingFan4Lyf Oh, yeah. I knew about Switch but didn’t realize it was on PS4. Had seen the headline on Push Square that it was coming to PS5 misinterpreted it.
Played it on switch and it’s a beautiful game , hope it will come to game pass so many Xbox gamers will try this gem.
Played this on Switch. I loved it that much, I bought a physical version of it. If it comes to Gamepass, I'll definitely play it again. Gamepass would be perfect for a game such as this!
At this point who hasn’t played the game that wanted to?
GRIS should be on gamepass if they want people to play it on xbox. it has been on every other platform for years now
Removed - unconstructive
@Savage_Joe oh damn I thought it was since it was on pc gamepass when they first added it to the service.
@Reptilio for what it's worth I don't think a male lead would've been very serviceable in this game, besides iirc she doesn't even talk.
It's coming to Xbox One btw, the PS5 version is also running at 4K@120fps, but the Series X version is only either 4K or 120fps
@Reptilio What do you have against female leads?
You've never played Tomb Raider, Horizon: Zero Dawn or Mirror's Edge?
Never watched the Alien movies, Arrival, Kill Bill, Star Wars: Rogue One, Buffy the Vampire Slayer, True Blood, Jessica Jones?
