Redwood City, CA – December 5, 2023 – PlayStation and Xbox fans rejoice as Have a Nice Death, the darkly charming 2D action roguelike from Gearbox Publishing and Magic Design Studios, is available now on PlayStation 5, PlayStation 4, Xbox Series X/S and Xbox One for £20.99. As an early holiday gift and in appreciation to those who waited patiently for this release, PlayStation Plus and Xbox players can grab the hack’n’scythe adventure on sale for a limited time until December 18.

Launched back in March 2023 for PC and Nintendo Switch, Have a Nice Death was praised by critics and audiences for the game’s beautifully hand-drawn visuals, procedurally generated level design, lovable characters and macabre sense of humor. Have a Nice Death was highly-recommended to all roguelike fans and earned universal praise when the game initially launched and now, PlayStation and Xbox players can get their hands on this killer action roguelike title. 

“Just like our fans, we are beyond thrilled to see Have a Nice Death launch on PlayStation and Xbox today,” said Simon Dutertre, Lead Game Designer at Magic Design Studios. “All of the support we have received over the years from our amazing fanbase has been absolutely incredible and we are forever grateful. To the PlayStation and Xbox players out there, thank you for your patience and we hope you enjoy your time in Death Incorporated!”  

Have a Nice Death is a delightfully dark action roguelike adventure, which has players assume the role of Death, Founder and CEO of Death Incorporated, the giant underworld organization responsible for processing souls in the afterlife. As the company’s supreme leader, players explore the darkly charming, procedurally generated departments of the corporation’s headquarters to round up and rehabilitate rogue associates who have been ignoring company protocol and snatching up far too many souls on Earth. Getting the department bosses—also known as Sorrows—and their minions under control, however, is a difficult task and will require multiple runs to complete. With an arsenal of over 70 weapons and spells, along with an array of powerful upgrades, players have plenty of ways to get the job done and show everyone who’s boss!
