11 bit studios have announced a release date for Frostpunk 2 on consoles across Xbox and PlayStation.

The survival builder game is launching for Xbox Series X|S and PS5 on September 18th, 2025. A physical release (seen below), in two variants, will also be available via Skybound Games.

Frostpunk 2 was originally released in September 2024 for Windows PC (via Steam, GOG, and the Epic Games Store), and PC Game Pass day one.

“Initially, we tried to carry over as many interface solutions as possible,” said Igor Skibinski, Production Coordinator at the Frostpunk 2 team in a press release. “But the two games differ so much in terms of gameplay that we had to adapt and rework those systems over time. Still, our main focus was to make interaction with the game feel seamless – so players never have to think about how to play while they’re playing. Our ambition is to once again prove that even complex strategy games can feel intuitive and satisfying on consoles.”

Here’s a blurb on the new console ports, plus the new release versions, and a new trailer:

Drawing from lessons learned during the original Frostpunk’s console port, the development team has further refined the circular, easily navigable interface. The port allows players to guide the politics and people of New London with the palms of their hands, on controller and thumbsticks alike.

Several improvements help tailor the control scheme for gamepads and provide quick access to vital actions. Players can use bumper buttons to cycle between districts of the same type, or a dynamic radial menu that appears over resource piles and presents actions specific to them. Additionally, following the console release, the PC version of Frostpunk 2 will receive an update enabling players to use this new UI scheme whenever a gamepad is connected.
