If you and your favourite gaming partner have been searching for your next couch co-op obsession, the wait is officially over. Independent developer Hit Start Studios has officially launched its acclaimed two-player co-op platformer, Brave Escape, on PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X|S!

Priced at an accessible $19.99 / €20.99 / £15.99, Brave Escape is a game built from the ground up around teamwork, crisp communication, and those inevitably chaotic, laugh-out-loud moments when a plan completely falls apart.

What is Brave Escape All About?

In Brave Escape, players take control of an unlikely duo—Colin and his trusty robot companion Floyd. Together, you must navigate through hazard-filled environments, dangerous traps, and intricate platforming challenges where coordination is everything.

Every jump, climb, and gadget use requires tight synchronisation between both players:

• Unique Abilities: Master Colin’s climbing rope to scale walls or utilise Floyd’s boost mechanism to propel each other across massive gaps.
• Specialised Gadgets: As you explore distinct, themed worlds—ranging from Glacial Falls to Serpent’s Hollow—Floyd gets equipped with clever gadgets like the Wind Gun, Grapple Hook, Flashlight, and Freeze Gun to help solve puzzles.
• Play at Your Pace: Whether you’re a hardcore platformer enthusiast or just playing casually with a friend, Brave Escape caters to all skill levels. Choose Standard Mode for more forgiving timings and gentle obstacles, or jump into Brave Mode for the ultimate precision platforming test.

What’s New for the Console Launch?

Console players aren’t just getting a port—they are getting the ultimate version of the game. Launching with all post-launch PC updates included, the PS5 and Xbox Series X|S releases feature:

• Cross-Platform Play: Seamlessly team up with friends across PC, PlayStation 5, and Xbox Series X|S right from day one.
• 45 Additional Levels: Added since the original PC release, bringing even more content to explore.
• 70 Bonus Levels: Scattered across all 7 worlds for maximum replayability.
• Enhanced Visuals & Performance: Supporting high frame rates, improved lighting, and enhanced environmental effects.
• Accessibility Features: Includes customizable character outlines, overlap transparency, and flexible control settings.

Ready to Escape?

Whether you prefer sitting side-by-side in local screen co-op or linking up online, Brave Escape delivers a fresh, hilarious, and deeply satisfying cooperative adventure that rewards clear communication (and tests even the best of friendships).

Brave Escape is available to download right now on the PlayStation Store and Microsoft Store for $19.99 / €20.99 / £15.99.
