Sudoku Relax arrives on Xbox One, Xbox Series X|S and PC with full Xbox Play Anywhere support, priced at a very tidy £3.29.
Developed and published by RucKyGAMES, this latest grid-based brain teaser doesn’t attempt to reinvent sudoku. Instead, it dives into what makes the classic so enduring, adding a gentle twist designed to help you unwind while you work the numbers.
Three hundred puzzles. Three difficulty tiers. A handful of unlockables. Sometimes, the simplest formula still adds up.

300 Puzzles, No Guesswork Required
Sudoku Relax includes a total of 300 puzzles split across EASY, NORMAL and HARD difficulties. Whether you’re filling in obvious early squares or staring at a grid wondering where that final 7 is hiding, there’s enough here to keep your brain comfortably occupied.
Importantly, you can save progress mid-puzzle. That makes it ideal for quick sessions – solve a few rows, step away, come back later and pick up right where you left off. No need to do the mental math on whether you’ve got time to finish.
It’s sudoku, pure and simple. But that purity is part of the appeal.
A Calmer Take On A Classic
The “Relax” in the title seemingly isn’t just marketing fluff. Completing puzzles unlocks background effects and additional BGM tracks. They’re subtle additions, but they should be able to add a layer of atmosphere that makes longer sessions feel less clinical and more soothing.
Compared to other recent sudoku titles we’ve reviewed, the fundamentals are what matter most. In our 3/5 review of Puzzle by Nikoli W Sudoku, we noted that excitement isn’t really the point – “the basics are all present” and that’s what counts.
Likewise, with Word Sudoku by POWGI, we described it as exactly what it says on the tin – sudoku on your TV, nothing more and nothing less. Sudoku Relax follows that tradition. No flashy gimmicks. No unnecessary twists. Just grids and logic.
Simple, Affordable, Portable
At £3.29, Sudoku Relax sits comfortably below many comparable digital puzzle offerings. With Xbox Play Anywhere support, you can solve puzzles on console or PC, or even your ROG Ally X and keep your progress synced.
Sudoku Relax is available now through the Xbox Store, playable on Xbox One, Xbox Series X|S and PC. It won’t blow your mind or rewrite the rulebook, but it does exactly what it promises – deliver a steady stream of puzzles wrapped in a calm presentation.
If you enjoy sudoku, the equation here is simple. 300 puzzles + £3.29 = solid value. No need to overthink it.
