Shadow drop alert! It's been revealed today via the official Xbox Wire blog that RollerCoaster Tycoon Classic is apparently arriving for Xbox Series X and Xbox Series S on March 25th, 2026.

This is a game that had not been announced for Xbox ahead of time, but it does indeed have a page on the official Xbox Store which mentions that the platforms are Series X and S, although pre-orders aren't available at the time of writing.

For those who aren't aware, RollerCoaster Tycoon Classic was first released on mobile in 2016 before transitioning to PC in 2017, and it's a combination of both the first RollerCoaster Tycoon and RollerCoaster Tycoon 2, complete with multiple expansion packs.

The game has been received well over the years, with the most recent release on Nintendo Switch racking up a "Great" 8/10 score from our friends at Nintendo Life, who had the following to say in their review:

"RollerCoaster Tycoon Classic maintains its crown as the lord of all theme park management sims..."

"With smartly designed controls and that timeless RCT gameplay (vertical) loop (right) completely intact, the best way to play this classic in your living room TV might, ironically, be Nintendo’s handheld hybrid."

There's no word yet on how much RollerCoaster Tycoon Classic will cost on Xbox, but the Nintendo version retails for £22.49 / $24.99, so we assume it'll be the same price for Series X and S.

Just keep in mind that Xbox Wire can occasionally jump the gun when it comes to release dates, so there's a chance the March 25th released might end up getting delayed, but the game should be available on Xbox very soon either way!

RollerCoaster Tycoon® Classic™ is a new RCT experience, remastered in 2017 by franchise creator Chris Sawyer to combine the best features from two of the most successful and beloved RCT games in the series’ history – RollerCoaster Tycoon® and RollerCoaster Tycoon® 2. Roller Coaster Tycoon Classic also comes complete with the Toolkit, Wacky Worlds, and Time Twister expansion packs! Create and run amazing parks filled with the most outrageous rides imaginable.
