Sword of the Sea XBOX Listing Removed After Accidentally Being Discovered
Sword of the Sea, the acclaimed narrative adventure from developer and publisher Giant Squid, briefly appeared on the Xbox Store before its listing was hastily removed. The discovery by social media users suggests an Xbox port is in development for the critically acclaimed title.
The game, which earned multiple awards following its 2025 release on PS5 and PC, is a narrative-driven adventure that showcases the art direction of Journey’s visionary creator. Its surprise appearance on Microsoft’s digital storefront indicated that Xbox owners—who have waited patiently for a port—may soon have access to the title.
The Xbox Store listing was pulled before any official announcement, with the platform now displaying a playful error message when users search for the game: “Double check your map, Captain.” The removal occurred quickly after the listing’s accidental discovery by gaming enthusiasts and social media accounts, preventing any formal details about the port’s release date or specifications from becoming public.
While Giant Squid has not yet issued an official statement regarding the leaked listing, the appearance suggests the publisher is preparing an Xbox version of Sword of the Sea. The incident highlights how digital storefronts occasionally reveal unannounced ports and releases before official reveals. For Xbox owners who have anticipated this title’s arrival, the accidental listing serves as confirmation that an announcement likely lies ahead, even if the timing and details remain uncertain.
