Publisher Redbeet Interactive and developer Axolot Games have released surprise console ports for Raft, their popular survival sandbox game.

Raft is available for consoles on December 4th and is already available on the Microsoft Store and the PlayStation Store where it’s December 4th elsewhere in the world (like Australia). The console ports will support both online co-op and cross-platform play.

The aquatic survival adventure game has been available for Windows PC (via Steam) and hit full release back in June 2022.

Here’s a rundown on the game:

By yourself or with friends, your mission is to survive an epic oceanic adventure across a perilous sea! Gather debris to survive, expand your raft and set sail towards forgotten and dangerous islands!

Trapped on a small raft with nothing but a hook made of old plastic, players awake on a vast, blue ocean totally alone and with no land in sight! With a dry throat and an empty stomach, survival will not be easy!

Raft throws you and your friends into an epic adventure out on the big open sea, with the objective to stay alive, gather resources and build yourself a floating home worthy of survival.

Resources are tough to come by at sea: Players will have to make sure to catch whatever debris floats by using their trusty hook and when possible, scavenge the reefs beneath the waves and the islands above. However, thirst and hunger is not the only danger in the ocean… watch out for the man-eating shark determined to end your voyage!

Find the last parts of civilization still above water. Overcome the challenges therein, uncover the story of its previous inhabitants and find your way to the next destination!
