Indie darling 1000xResist heads to Xbox and PlayStation on November 4

Heads up, indie game fans: 1000xResist will arrive on Xbox Series X/S and PlayStation 5 on November 4. The title, which is already out for PC and Nintendo Switch, will also be available through Xbox Game Pass on the same date. The game is also adding more localization support, bringing Brazilian Portuguese, French and Korean languages, so more players around the world can experience the story. And the story is the highlight of 1000xResist . This was an indie hit from 2024 that won a lot of fans for its innovative and branching story of a future timeline where the remaining members of humanity live underground in the aftermath of an alien invasion.

Sometimes you'll want to take award winners with a grain (or a pound) of salt, but the industry and players alike have lauded the game's sci-fi storytelling chops.
