We've got another game to add to the list of new Xbox releases early next year, as the former PlayStation 5 console exclusive Sifu has been announced as coming to the Xbox platform at some point in March 2023.
If you haven't heard of it, Sifu is a third-person brawler focused around Kung Fu combat and "cinematic martial arts action". The Xbox release will also coincide with a brand-new Arenas mode as highlighted in the trailer above.
Our sister site Push Square previously gave Sifu a "Great" 8/10 rating when it first arrived on PlayStation 5 in February 2022, praising it as an extremely rewarding game that remains "consistently challenging and demanding".
You can check out more information about Sifu below, along with a few screenshots.
Whether you choose to play as a male or a female character, in Sifu, you will ponder that question on your path for revenge, hunting down your family’s assassins. One against all, you have no allies, countless enemies, and a mysterious amulet to bring you back to life every time you die. Yet, be warned! Your secret weapon comes with a hefty price to pay: aging and its consequences.
Looking forward to Sifu on Xbox? Played it before? Let us know down in the comments below.

About Time, i've held off buying the PS version
Game Pass it Xbox
Seems like the perfect game to put onto gamepass, A high quality indie that's short and sweet.
@UltimateOtaku91 it’s not going into Gamepass
Bought it on PC a while back. Did start playing until I got the Steam Deck in September. Strange different platforms spur you to start finally try a game.
The game is fun. You learn by dying and adjusting your tactics. Learning the offensive and especially defensive moves is key.
Been tempted to pick this up on ps5 a few times...think I will just wait untill it comes to either ps plus or gamepass
I'm pretty sure it's on PS4 too. Also on Switch I think?

@mousieone I know, I meant it would be perfect for gamepass. But there's still a chance it will come to gamepass but leave the announcement for the rumoured xbox show.
Awesome news! The game is really fantastic, and I had an absolute blast playing it on my PS5. I never finished it because I was playing Horizon Forbidden West and Elden Ring, so this will give me the perfect excuse to complete it on the Series X.
@Lup Switch was a recent thing, but you're right about PS4. Totally slipped my mind.
Altered the headline slightly!
I loved Absolver so Sifu is going to be a day one for me.
If it comes to Game Pass that’d be nice but Sloclap have my money either way.
@Ape hahaha agreed!
@themightyant not saying it won’t ever be there but I don’t think it will be Day 1. They usually shout that from the sky but I guess I’d the rumored showcase is true they might say there I just think it’s further down the road.. .
@UltimateOtaku91 agreed
@mousieone I agree, but stranger things have happened. There have been a few that weren't announced, including a few like Tunic that were outright denied weeks before release, but ended up coming Day 1 anyway. Late deal perhaps? Wishful thinking?
It would be a great get for Microsoft. Perfect fit for game pass I feel, as it's a little niche and many consumers may be on the fence.
@Chaudy was thinking the same thing.
This is one I'd probably only play on GP. I heard a lot about it, but heard it's basically indie Nioh which I suck horribly at. I just bought Elden, so that's enough suffering for money for the year.
@NEStalgia Its added lower difficulty levels since initial release, so not quite the brick wall challenge you might expect.
@Titntin That's encouraging! I was intrigued, originally, then saw the reviews of the Nioh like combat, and, having bought 2 Niohs and Sekiro and played exactly the first stage or two of any of them figured it's not worth throwing money at. But with lower difficulty that definitely sounds more worthwhile.
Saw this game a lil while back. I was hoping thing this would happen. Thanksss
Great game this! Highly recommended
Finally, thank you xbox!
This game will probably join PS+ in March
More playstation leftovers, nice
@NEStalgia I'm the same, try as I might, I could never get through Nioh, my poor old mans reflexes just could not cope
I'm vey keen on playing this though now that you can adjust difficulty....
I ordered this on PS5 but didn't realise it only came in a steel book so I returned it. I really hate steel books. Hopefully this will be in a standard case.
