We'd forgive you for having completely glossed over the fact that Coral Island arrived on Xbox Game Pass this week, as it was only added for the PC version of the service. However, those who have been playing it seem to be impressed!
Coral Island is described as a "vibrant and laid-back reimagining of farm sim games", so it sounds perfect for fans of the likes of Stardew Valley, and the reviews have been great so far - here's what Dexerto said in their review:
"The game is an absolute delight to play, and easy to lose hours in. It has all the heart of early farming simulations while taking outdated gameplay and revolutionizing it for the future of the slice-of-life genre."
Is Coral Island Coming To Xbox?
The answer is yes! The developer behind Coral Island has confirmed it will be coming to Xbox in the future. However, the big catch here is that it could be over a year away, as the console ports won't be released until after Coral Island leaves early access on PC. There's also no guarantee yet that it'll be on Xbox Game Pass for console.
PC Game Pass is definitely the way to go if you want to play Coral Island in 2022 (and probably most of 2023), then, and it sounds like a great addition to the library for fans of farm sim games. Don't overlook this one!
Coral Island is a vibrant and laid-back reimagining of farm sim games. Be who you want and experience enchanting island living at your own pace—live off the land, nurture animals, build relationships with a diverse cast of townsfolk, and make the world around you a more vital and harmonious place.

I've played an hour or 2 before going to work. It really is a Stardew Valley clone. The gifts, routines, crops, tools, mine (dungeon), even the evil greedy corp. It's all practically the same. If you like these kinds of games (like me), perfect.
Some of the things that are different, obviously the graphics, bugcatching, I saw diving too, probably some events that happen through the year. I'll definitely play it some more. I also realise this is Early Access, so things are bound to change/be added. It's a good start.
@Thrussted yeah basically you said everything I was going to say. Thief! Stardew clone probably worth playing when it leaves early access. I'm not sure it's got the same, let's say, quirky creative soul that Stardew has to its writing and characters. It seems more sanitized. Also, the character creator could use some work. No matter what I did my character looked basically the same.
@Thrussted Main difference is the coral part, all the underwater diving and the lore there is very much different and something new I have been waiting for
@Kaloudz Some get cloud play but Coral Island hasn't been added yet.. although games like flight Sim and Yakuza Like a Dragon are. Also the recent release medievil dynasty is too! so yeah there are a decent selection.
@Kaloudz Yeah I have been playing Flight Sim and Medievil Dynasty via cloud for Gamepass PC.
