Albion Online is a free-to-play medieval style sandbox MMO, offering players an extensive character customization system with no class restrictions, a completely player-driven economy and dynamic PvP battles.

Albion Online is set in a fantasy medieval world where players can forge their own path by exploring the vast landscapes, crafting everything from basic tools and clothes to armor and powerful weapons, facing enemies or other adventurers, and carving out their own pieces of Albion by forming guilds, claiming land and making it their own.

Albion Online has players explore an open game world and stake their claim on it by sieging, claiming and defending territories.

The game offers an extensive player-driven economy, challenging guild-versus-guild activities, the ability to develop and customize real estate, a unique classless customization system, and much, much more - all in a fully connected, truly cross-platform persistent game world.

Developer Sandbox Interactive announced that the step into console spaces will open up the door to new players while giving long-time fans a new way to play on their existing account.

The game has been fully optimised for Xbox Series S|X with a brand-new UI navigation flow, a dedicated controller scheme and specifically adapted key screens, like the Marketplace and player inventory. Combat has also been overhauled to work smoothly with controllers, and new accessibility features have been developed with console players in mind.

Players that have already spent time in Albion on PC or mobile, will be able to use the same account for Xbox Series S|X without losing any progress, allowing seamless cross-play no matter which platform they choose.

Albion Online will also receive a full visual upgrade when the Radiant Wilds update launches on 13 April, which will bring the graphics up-to-date for modern systems along with performance improvements, controller support, and a new PvP mode which will benefit Xbox players as well.

Key Features:

  • Console Optimisation: When Albion Online launches for Xbox Series S|X it will include a brand-new UI navigation flow, overhauled combat and accessibility features all designed to work smoothly for console players.
  • Cross Platform Play: Albion Online is a true cross-platform MMO experience available on Windows, Mac, Linux, Android and iOS. One account lets you play on all platforms.
  • Player Driven Economy: Nearly every item in the game is crafted by players which can be sold, bought and traded at local marketplaces all across Albion.
  • Classless Combat System: In Albion, weapons and armour define a player's skills meaning that switching playstyles is as easy as switching gear.
  • Face Deadly foes: From solo to small-group to large-scale battles there’s an array of enemies to take on, including small scouting bands to massive bosses, to dungeons and full-blown faction bases.
  • Put Down Roots: Players can claim land to make their own and use for growing crops to make into food and raising livestock and mounts. Houses can be kitted out with plenty of custom furniture.
  • Explore A Vast World: With five vivid biomes, each with its own challenges, there’s plenty to discover as players seek out resources, dungeons, or the mystical Roads of Avalon.
