ICARUS: Console - Xbox Series

Survive the Harsh World of ICARUS: Console Edition

ICARUS: Console Edition shakes players to their core with survival challenges on a hostile planet. Once intended to be a second home for humanity, ICARUS is now a chaotic wasteland beset by savage wildlife, toxic skies, and ferocious storms. Every descent from orbit becomes a battle for survival, demanding players build shelters, craft weapons, and hunt for food. Alone or in teams of up to four, players navigate an unforgiving environment that tests their limits.

The Dangers of ICARUS Await

You won't find any friendly hand-holding here. The planet itself seems to resist your presence with punishing weather and ferocious predators lurking nearby. Expect to encounter lightning storms that tear apart structures, wildfires that spread like wildfire, and an array of mutated beasts. The tension is constant, and every expedition challenges your survival instincts.

New Frontiers Expansion: A Larger Challenge

The included New Frontiers Expansion transforms ICARUS: Console Edition into a more expansive and exhilarating survival experience. Explore two mammoth 64 km² maps teeming with unique biomes, including alien grasslands and volcanic wastelands. Six narrative missions beckon you to chase a mysterious whistleblower while you face new threats, from Needlers to Dreadwings. Each climactic encounter is designed to keep players on their toes.

Gather Resources and Craft for Survival

Resource gathering is at the heart of survival in ICARUS. Players can mine diverse materials—obsidian, clay, and even crystallized miasma—to craft over 100 new items, from weapons to building elements. The thrill of exploration and gathering fuels progression; the more you explore, the more tools you have at your disposal. Uncovering exotic resources also allows you to trade for permanent upgrades through the Orbital Workshop.

Choose Your Playstyle: Solo or Cooperative

Survive the unforgiving terrains solo or team up with friends in cooperative play. Up to four players can drop together, combining their skills to carve out a safe haven. For those seeking ultimate challenges, the Solo Talent Tree allows for tailored gameplay without companions. Each choice impacts your strategy, making every session feel uniquely personal.

Discover Your Role in a Dangerous World

Players can specialize and develop skills that align with their preferred playstyle—be it a builder, hunter, or survivalist. The Tech Tree offers pathways to advanced technology, enhancing your chances of survival as you progress. Every decision counts in a world where every resource is precious, adding depth to your strategic gameplay choices.

A Persistent Threat: Exotic Matter

In the depths of ICARUS lies exotic matter, the ultimate prize for daring explorers. Unstable and hazardous, pursuing it is a gamble that can lead to massive rewards. Although the risks are high, the potential to acquire powerful upgrades creates a compelling incentive for players to go beyond their limits in search of this valuable resource.

Reconnect with Nature's Wild Side

While the world of ICARUS is a brutal battleground, players will find solace in the beauty of nature. Vast landscapes await discovery, with forests, mountains, deserts, and caves forming a richly crafted environment. Engaging with the land adds layers to the survival experience, inviting players to push boundaries not only of technology but also of personal endurance on this alien frontier.
