Winter Burrow Launch Window Confirmed During Nintendo Indie Event

During the recent Nintendo Indie World event, Pine Creek Games officially unveiled a new trailer for their upcoming title, Winter Burrow. This reveal also brought confirmation of the game`s launch window, notably highlighting its day-one availability on Xbox Game Pass.

Set to release sometime this winter, Winter Burrow will be accessible on Nintendo Switch, Xbox Game Pass, and Steam. As of now, there has been no announcement regarding a PlayStation release for the game.

Described as a “cozy woodland survival game,” Winter Burrow immerses players in the story of a city mouse returning to its dilapidated childhood burrow with the goal of restoring it. Gameplay revolves around comforting activities such as knitting warm sweaters, baking pies, interacting with local characters, and gathering essential resources for crafting and survival.

“Brave the elements and journey out into the frozen wilderness to collect resources for survival and the long journey of restoring your burrow. Beware of the insect wildlife and remember that nobody survives on their own.”

Winter Burrow was initially announced as a Game Pass title some time ago. Its release schedule saw an adjustment, moving from an early 2025 target to its current Winter 2025 launch window.

The Nintendo Indie World event showcased several other titles slated for Game Pass, including new reveals for Herdling, Ball x Pit, and Ultimate Sheep Raccoon, further expanding the service`s diverse indie offerings.
