Albion Online is coming to Xbox Series X|S on April 21, marking the game’s first step into the console space. This launch brings the full Albion experience to Xbox, with complete cross-platform play, shared servers, and a redesigned controller interface built for precision and ease-of-use.

In this video, Co-Creative Director Michael Schwahn introduces Albion’s Xbox launch, detailing how the game has been adapted for consoles and how you can experience it.

A True Cross-Platform MMO

The Xbox launch brings the full Albion experience to console:

• The same servers across Xbox, PC, and mobile
• The same characters, items, and progression everywhere
• The ability to switch between platforms at any time

Account access is easy for both existing and new players:

• Existing Albion Online accounts can be linked on Xbox to continue progress
• New players can start instantly on Xbox without creating an Albion Online account
• These can be converted into an Albion Online account at any time to enable full cross-platform play

Designed for Controller Play

Alongside the Xbox launch, controller support has been significantly improved, making the game easy to pick up while preserving the depth needed for high-level gameplay.

Key improvements include:

• Reworked targeting and aiming for faster, more reliable combat
• Improved visual clarity to track and switch targets more easily
• Redesigned button layouts for a more natural flow

These changes ensure that combat remains responsive and competitive, especially in large-scale fights.

New UI and Navigation Systems

To support controller gameplay, several new interface systems have been designed specifically for console use:

• A full-screen game menu for quick navigation between key systems
• Shoulder-button tabbing to move through menus and UI screens
• A reworked radial menu for fast access to actions and communication
• Improved navigation across systems like the Destiny Board and Party Management

Controller support is fully integrated across all platforms, so using a controller on PC or mobile provides the same experience.

Xbox Rewards

Players who link their Albion account with Xbox Game Pass can unlock exclusive rewards:

• Elite Green Knight vanity bundle
• 3 days Premium
• Fame boosts and Tomes of Insight
• Victory emotes

These rewards are available to both new and existing players with an active Xbox Game Pass subscription.

The Xbox launch represents more than a new platform. It is a key milestone in Albion’s evolution as a fully cross-platform MMORPG, opening the door to a wider audience while improving the experience for everyone.
