A new woodland survival game, where your ability to knit a warm sweater is just as important as your ability to find food, has just burrowed its way onto consoles, Game Pass and PC in Winter Burrow.
A charming new adventure from Pine Creek Games and Noodlecake is now available on Xbox One, Xbox Series X|S, PC, and Nintendo Switch.
Winter Burrow is a survival game you can play at your own pace, where you’ll explore a frozen wilderness, craft tools, and solve the mystery of your missing Aunt, all while trying to stay cozy.
A Cozy Survivor We’ve Been Waiting For
The anticipation for this charming adventure has been building for a while. It was way back in 2024 that we first got wind of this title, when we reported that the cozy woodland survivor, Winter Burrow, was coming to Xbox and PC.
Now, that day has finally arrived, and it’s time to brave the elements.
Home Sweet (Ruined) Home
The story of Winter Burrow begins as you, a small mouse, return from the big city to find your childhood home in complete ruins. To make matters worse, your Aunt, who was supposed to be looking after it, has gone missing. It’s up to you to restore the broken-down burrow to its former glory so you can finally relax in front of the fireplace.

A Cozy Approach to Survival
This isn’t a punishing, hardcore survival game. Winter Burrow is a game you play at your own pace, where the focus is on charm and discovery.
You’ll need to brave the elements and journey out into the frozen wilderness to collect vital resources for both yourself and your new home. You’ll need to beware of the insect wildlife, but you’ll also meet new friends who can help you on your way.
As you gather resources, you’ll expand your survival handbook and be able to craft new tools. But this is a cozy survival game, so you’ll also be able to knit warm sweaters to stay toasty and bake delicious pies to keep your energy up. You can also customize your character and fully decorate your burrow to make it your own.
Your Journey, Anywhere & On Game Pass
Winter Burrow is a full Xbox Play Anywhere title. This fantastic feature means your cozy adventure can continue, no matter which device you’re on. A single digital purchase on the Microsoft Store unlocks the game for you on both your Xbox console and your Windows PC. All of your burrow decorations and story progress are synced via the cloud, so you can seamlessly switch between platforms.
Best of all though, Winter Burrow is available as part of your Game Pass subscription. You’ve no reason to not play it, eh?!
