Direct answer

Sandustry joined PC Game Pass and Game Pass Ultimate on August 13, 2026 as a PC Game Preview title; it is not listed as a native Xbox console game.

Sandustry is on Xbox Game Pass for PC Game Pass and Game Pass Ultimate. It joined on August 13, 2026 as a Game Preview title for PC.

Which Game Pass tiers include it?

The August 2026 Xbox Wire announcement lists Sandustry for Game Pass Ultimate and PC Game Pass. The official Xbox store also showed it in the PC-only and Ultimate subscription entries when checked on August 16.

Subscription catalogs change. Confirm that the current store page still shows Included with Game Pass for your account, tier, and region before relying on access.

Is there a native Xbox console version?

The official store listing says Play with: PC. That supports a Windows PC release through the Xbox ecosystem, not a native Xbox Series X|S or Xbox One version.

“Xbox on PC,” “PC Game Pass,” and “Xbox console game” are not interchangeable labels. This guide does not claim controller support, console installation, or console achievements unless the live product page explicitly adds them.

What about Xbox Cloud Gaming?

An official Xbox Cloud Gaming product page exists for Sandustry. That does not contradict the PC-only store label: cloud access can stream a supported catalog game without creating a native console build.

Actual launch eligibility depends on the signed-in account, subscription tier, region, and current cloud catalog. Use the cloud page's live Play or sign-in state as the final check.

What does Game Preview mean?

Game Preview is the Xbox store label used for this developing release. It corresponds to Sandustry's broader Early Access status: the game is playable, but features and balance can still change.

For the distinction between the Early Access launch and final version 1.0, see the release date guide.

Quick availability checklist

  1. Open the official Xbox store listing.
  2. Confirm it still says PC and shows your subscription tier.
  3. Sign in with the account that owns PC Game Pass or Ultimate.
  4. If using cloud play, check the official cloud page for your region and account.
  5. Treat an unavailable button as live account or catalog status, not proof of a native console version.
