Previously having led a PC-exclusive life, HandyGames have unboxed their cooperative cardboard platformer Pile Up! Box by Box to Xbox, PlayStation and Switch.
Available to purchase and download right now on Xbox One, Xbox Series X|S, PS4, PS5 and Nintendo Switch, Pile Up! Box by Box is a family-friendly cardboard platformer that will see you exploring a wonderfully creative world, as you go about solving puzzles, completing quests and meeting up with the friendly folk who call this world home.
It’s priced at £12.49, but Pile Up! Box by Box isn’t just that solo adventurer you may think it is. Instead, should you be able to coerce friends or family members in, you’ll have the chance to take in the sun-baked islands, the amber forests and the vibrant caves as a team, working together in your own unique way in order to find success.
And if you then need more, a whole host of fun little mini-games will enhance the overall Pile Up! Box by Box experience, bringing forth games of Boxball, Pile of Dunk, Tic Pile Toe and more. Its this which should bring about a hilariously chaotic time.
However you go about playing Pile Up! Box by Box, expect the key features to kick around as follows…
- GO ON AN ADVENTURE – Explore colorful cardboard worlds in this cute 3D platformer. Find your way through open-ended levels, uncover mysteries and bring joy to the cardboard inhabitants of these places.

We’ll have a full review of how Pile Up! Box by Box plays on Xbox for you real soon but with HandyGames just recently behind the launch of the rather neat Skydrift Infinity, we’ve got some high hopes for this one.
If you’re sold and fancy a fun frolic with your mates, these cardboard capers can be picked up from the store of your choosing – the Xbox Store for Xbox One and Xbox Series X|S, the PlayStation Store for PS4 and PS5, or the Nintendo eShop for those preferring Nintendo Switch. It’s also available on PC through Steam. The question is, can you stick together, play together and, well, pile up!?
