Resonance: A Plague Tale Legacy released on August 27, 2026 on PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X|S, and PC (via Steam and the Epic Games Store). It's available day one on Xbox Game Pass and supports Xbox Play Anywhere. ## The Release Date

The game launched August 27, 2026, developed by Asobo Studio and published by Focus Entertainment. It's a prequel set 15 years before A Plague Tale: Requiem, following a young plunderer named Sophia to Minotaur Island.

Pre-orders opened before launch across all platforms, with a free Heritage Pack DLC offered as a pre-order bonus. Physical copies were also available through retailers including Amazon.

Where It Launched

Resonance launched across three platform families:

  • PlayStation 5, via the PlayStation Store and physical retail.
  • Xbox Series X|S, via the Xbox store, with Game Pass day one and Play Anywhere.
  • PC, via Steam and the Epic Games Store.

There is no PlayStation 4 or Xbox One version, it's current-gen only, matching the game's 75GB install size and visual fidelity.

Game Pass Day One

One of the biggest launch details: Resonance is available day one on Xbox Game Pass. Subscribers on Xbox Series X|S and PC (Game Pass PC) can play at no extra cost from launch day. It also supports Xbox Play Anywhere, so a single purchase covers both Xbox and Windows PC with shared saves.
