It’s been some four years since GRIS rocked up onto Switch and Steam, providing players with a chance to take in a super serene, extremely evocative gaming experience. Now it’s time to also release that game on Xbox and PlayStation, making the most of the power of Xbox Series X|S and PS5.
Available to purchase and download right now on Xbox Series X|S and PS5, as well as on PC through Steam and Nintendo Switch should you prefer, GRIS is a gaming experience that plays out with pretty much no text, as the player is pushed along by simple visual prompts and universal icons.
This means that no matter where you are in the world, and no matter what your native tongue, GRIS can be enjoyed by all. This is amplified by the fact that it is totally free of any danger, runs low on the frustration stakes and ensures you cannot die.
Drop into GRIS and you’ll find 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 come to the fore, revealing themselves as more of Gris’s world becomes accessible.
It’s a game that already looks beautiful, but with GRIS releasing on Xbox Series X|S and PS5, it should do so even more. See, the Xbox Series S version will run at 2K 120fps, whilst those on Xbox Series X will find that bumped to 4k-60fps if they so wish. PS5 players meanwhile will discover 4K and 120fps goodness in the house, along with DualSense features for good measure.
We’d advise you to give the trailer below a watch, taking in what GRIS developer Nomada has put together. From there, the Xbox Store will sort you out with an Xbox Series X|S download for £14.24 (you can play on Xbox One too), whilst the PlayStation Store will do similar for PS5 players.
Remember, GRIS is still on Steam and Switch too.
