Mark your calendars! 'The Phantom' game releases on XBOX December 5th

Back in September, we had a long-awaited update on the XBOX release of The Phantom game, which released on Steam, Playstation, and Nintendo Switch back on March 12, 2025. After much back-and-forth with the Microsoft team, including problems with being provided the wrong developer kit and a lack of support that arose from layoffs on Microsoft's side, Art of Play Director Ash Nicholls noted that they had a final version of the game.

At the time of our last update, this final version of the game was waiting for approval from Microsoft to move forward. As of early November, at long last, Art of Play can offer another update.

The Phantom will officially launch on XBOX on December 5th, 2025.

For those XBOX gamers who missed the first preorder phase, The Phantom will be available for preorder on November 21st, 2025.

For those who have already preordered the game, Art of Play is awaiting keys from Microsoft. Per Art of Play's update on Facebook, "Keys are on their way to us. They will be sent out as soon as they hit our in-box."
