Microsoft's indie developer program for the Xbox One announced the release date of two popular indie titles hitting the console at the end of the week. Limbo and Threes! will be available for Xbox One owners starting Friday, December 5.
Sony Honors Original PlayStation With Limited Edition PS4
Limbo, the macabre side-scroller from developer Playdead, actually already hit the Xbox One as a present for those who had purchased the console during its launch weekend. Come Friday, the title will be available for all Xbox One owners. Gamespot has confirmed that the port grants Limbo all of the benefits of running on a next-gen console, as the game now runs at 60fps and 1080p. It'll be available for $9.99 for anyone who wants to try out one of indie gaming's greatest hits.
Threes! is a mobile game that has racked up hundreds of thousands of installs over Google Play and Apple's App Store. The game was met with pretty impressive critical praise for a puzzle game built around number tiles on a four-by-four grid. Many people, however, might know it best as the spiritual predecessor to the 2048 craze that took over early this year. Either way, the critically acclaimed mobile game is moving on up to the world of console gaming. It'll be available this Friday for $6.99.
