Peglin on Consoles

Get ready to bounce: Peglin, the hit roguelite pachinko game from Red Nexus Games, is launching on PlayStation and Xbox. After winning over players on Steam and Nintendo Switch since its Indie World showcase in August 2024, the charming, addictive adventure is finally making its console debut.

Peglin on Consoles

Described by Touch Arcade as “what would happen if Peggle had a baby with a roguelike dungeon crawler,” Peglin invites players into a delightfully chaotic mix of pachinko physics, deck-building strategy, and turn-based RPG combat. You’ll sling pebbles, defeat bosses, gather relics, and chart unpredictable paths through vibrant levels — where even choosing your next destination is decided by a pachinko shot.

Each run offers endless replayability, with new orbs, relics, enemies, and characters to unlock. And for players looking for a serious challenge, Peglin’s “Cruciball” mode ramps up the difficulty after every victorious run — all the way up to Cruciball 20.

Since its original launch, Peglin has expanded with fresh content, new bosses, and balance updates, making this console version the most polished yet. Peglin is developed by Canadian studio Red Nexus Games, known for Friday Night Bullet Arena and Fowl Damage, and published by BlitWorks Games, the Spanish team behind console ports of Super Meat Boy, They Are Billions, and more.

It’s time to grab your pebbles, defeat the dragon, and bounce your way to victory! Peglin is launching on PlayStation and Xbox.4, PlayStation 5, Xbox One, and Xbox Series consoles on May 1 priced at $19.99 / €19.99. Below is an overview and console launch trailer.

About The Game

The dragons have been popping peglins and stealing all of your gold for as long as you can remember. Enough is enough. It’s time to venture through the woods, conquer the fortress, and delve into the heart of the dragon’s lair to take back what’s yours and teach those dragons a lesson.

Peglin plays like a combination of Peggle and Slay the Spire. The enemies are tough, and if you’re defeated your run is over, but you’ve got powerful orbs with special effects and incredible relics that influence both your enemies and the physics you’ll use to defeat them.

Features:

  • Collect and upgrade powerful orbs and relics to defeat the monsters and bosses that stand in your way.
  • Fight enemies with Pachinko-like gameplay – hit more pegs to do more damage. Use crit potions, refresh potions, and bombs wisely.
  • Explore a new map every time, with different orbs, enemies, and surprises along the way.
Peglin | Official Trailer | Coming to PlayStation and Xbox on May 1st
