Originally a PlayStation 5 console exclusive, Sifu is officially coming to Xbox and Steam in March of 2023. The release of Sifu on two new platforms will also coincide with the new arenas mode, which was revealed by IGN earlier today in a new teaser trailer.There are still numerous details yet to be revealed by Sloclap, such as the exact release date for the new mode and platforms, and whether or not Sifu will be available on both Xbox One and Xbox Series X|S. PC players do have the ability to wishlist Sifu on Steam, but an Xbox store page is yet to go live.Sloclap did launch Sifu for PC alongside the PlayStation 4 and 5 versions back in February, but the beat 'em up game was only available on the platform when purchased via the Epic Games Store. From March of next year, players wanting to jump into Sifu on PC will have the option to do so via both the Epic Games Store and Steam.Sifu is also available on the Nintendo Switch, but was only released on the handheld console last month. Our review of Sifu's Switch version praised the ability to play Sifu in the palm of your hand, calling it a "powerful experience that shouldn't be ignored if you have not played Sifu before." However, the Switch version does lack some of the added beauty found in the PlayStation and PC versions.
As for the new Arenas mode, which will release for all platforms in March of 2023, Sloclap states that "Successfully completing the arenas will progressively unlock a massive new modifiers batch, which doubles the current game's amount and notably brings alternative moves to the Kung Fu palette of our main character." The description also states that completing new arenas challenges will unlock new cheats and exclusive new outfits.
Sloclap states that more news on the Xbox and Steam release, as well as the upcoming arenas mode, will be shared soon.
