The Backrooms are opening up onto the consoles further, with a release date set down for Backrooms Level X
It was known that it was coming, but now the PS5, Xbox Series X|S, and Switch gamers will have a chance to wander about in Backrooms Level X. That is, it appears that Firenut Games has been able to get things together for this one and has a release date set for the console version of the game. It only took a bit of time, and it was announced it was coming this way, but on February 19th those wanting to experience Backrooms Level X on the consoles will have their chance. I hope you were able to avoid all the spoilers and other gameplay footage from streamers up to now, so you can experience it all for yourself.
As it all looks, Backrooms Level X will be landing on the consoles with all of the updates and changes that have gone into the PC version to make it as successful as it has been up to now. Along with that, there will be a few more quality-of-life and console-specific updates to land with the game, though those are not fully defined. It is easy to assume that there will be things that will take advantage of some of the hardware certain consoles use. All so we can explore the fifteen new levels in the Backrooms, experience the weird physics that will go down, and see if we can make it back out with all of the answers we clipped into the realm to find. Given the weird beings we are going to be running from, that is not going to be an easy task, but one that we will need to brave out. Have a look and see what you will experience in a little under a month, if not already.
Backrooms Level X — Console Release Date
Following a successful and terrifying PC launch, indie publisher Firenut Games and solo developer José Manuel Conesa Hernández announce that the chilling survival horror experience Backrooms Level X will arrive on PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X|S, and Nintendo Switch on 19 February 2026.
