Update: We've now got a date for this one! Teardown hits Xbox Series X|S on November 15th, 2023.
Pre-orders are officially now live on the Xbox Store, with Standard, Deluxe and Ultimate versions available. The cheapest of these costs just £24.99 / $29.99 and includes a bunch of pre-order bonuses as well.
Original story (Thu 25th May, 2023): Yesterday's PlayStation Showcase delivered lots of third-party announcements that interested us Xbox fans, with huge titles like Assassin's Creed Mirage and Metal Gear Solid Delta: Snake Eater unveiled at the Sony show. However, there were also some 'smaller' multi-platform titles shown off, including the highly-rated Teardown.
Since yesterday's livestream wrapped up, this has been getting some serious attention - and for good reason! The open world sandbox title has more than 65k Steam reviews amounting to an 'Overwhelmingly Positive' rating at the time of writing, and a console version is now on course for a 2023 launch.
The game looks like a fair old mashup of different titles and genres. The art style has shades of Minecraft, with the gameplay almost looking like 'GTA-Creative Mode' looking at all the footage out there.
Anyway, here's some more info on Teardown, straight from the dev team:
"With your company pressured by increasing debt, you start accepting work from some more or less shady individuals. Soon you are knee-deep in a murky soup of revenge, betrayal, and insurance fraud.
Beginning with some more or less legitimate assignments, you soon find yourself stealing cars, demolishing buildings, blowing up safes, avoiding trigger-happy robots and more. Upgrade your expanding arsenal of tools by searching for hidden valuables scattered around the environments."
Is this something you'd give a go? Let us know if you'd like to cause havoc and tear sh*t down on Xbox in 2023.

I was just lamenting the other day this wasn’t on console and now it is I have to find time to play it!
So happy this is coming out finally. I've had some great times playing this on PC but just so much easier on Xbox. Seems like an ideal gameness title too - wouldn't be surprised if that's where it ends up releasing
I will most likely enjoy this game but I wish it just took what Red Faction Guerrilla did so well and move forward with realistic graphics
Anyone else noticed how the whole "voxel" thing is reminiscent of the various "bit progression" of early games?
They started out look like 3d versions of 8-bit sprites, then 16-bit sprites, now it looks like we are at voxel versions of 3d models from the PlayStation age.
I've been playing this on PC. Good game.
Didn't know this was open world
@GamingFan4Lyf it’s like you were developing a Lego game and got your licensing pulled … still looks fun though
This game has some of the best tech of any game on the market. Everything is destructible and it's the one of the best uses of ray tracing I've seen, so it's really cool it's coming to consoles. I just really hope it's well optimized.
Damn fine game!
Definitely excited for this one, hope it comes to game pass
Think I'll have to get this on PS Plus if it's not coming to gamepass
Not to hate on this game, but isn't the review system on Steam completely broken? I remember the stuff with Skullgirls which everyone was review-bombing it as protest but the game never stopped being 'Overwhelmingly Positive'.
@Lup the review system is flawed everywhere I am afraid. So many protest reviews, click bait scores, comparisons between apples and oranges and lower scores as it was exclusive to one system. But if you said it was good - I’m buying…
Coming to ps plus so I will try it there
