Buckshot Roulette joins Game Pass: availability and cost breakdown

Buckshot Roulette is now available on Xbox Series X|S, Xbox One, and PC through the Microsoft Store, and is included with Xbox Game Pass for console and PC subscribers. The title, which released on Steam in 2024 and has sold over four million units, is priced at $2.99 for non-subscribers across Xbox and PC storefronts.

Availability and Cost Structure

Game Pass members can download and play at no additional charge. Non-subscribers can purchase the game for $2.99 on Xbox Series X|S, Xbox One, or PC via the Microsoft Store. The Steam version, released last year, holds an “Overwhelmingly Positive” user rating across more than 100,000 reviews and shares the same price point.

Single-Player and Multiplayer Setup

The core game is a single-player experience against The Dealer, with multiple difficulty options available. A multiplayer update supports sessions for up to four players. Crossplay is enabled across platforms. The Xbox release includes new items not present in the original Steam build, though specific content details have not been disclosed.

Decision Guide for Subscribers and Non-Subscribers

For active Game Pass subscribers, access requires no incremental spending. For players without a subscription, the $2.99 purchase price is lower than the cost of one month of Game Pass Ultimate. Players on Steam can continue on that platform; the Microsoft Store and Xbox versions offer equivalent gameplay with the noted item additions. The low standalone price favors direct purchase for those not otherwise using the subscription catalog.

What to Watch

Observe whether the Xbox-specific item additions receive a corresponding Steam update. Sustained crossplay population levels across Game Pass and purchased versions will indicate whether the multiplayer component retains activity beyond the initial launch period.
