Although games with unique worlds are released every now and then, the upcoming game from developers Hologryph and TowerHaus is what many are eagerly waiting for. Named SAND, it is a world based on the fallen planet of Sophie, where battles take place continuously. One of the many unique and eye-catching elements in Sand is the introduction of house/ship-like bases called Tramplers that have legs. Yes, your base travels with you, and to survive in this world, you will have to build and upgrade it regularly. Well, the game’s unique environment has led to many players wondering about its availability on various platforms, including PS4, PS5, Xbox Series X/S, Xbox One, & Nintendo. Since it is currently only scheduled for a PC release, curiosity regarding a multiplatform release is quite obvious. So, let’s discuss whether Sand will see the light of day on consoles, if ever.
The in-game world of Sand is filled with deserts, and, of course, anomalies, monuments, along with other players. It is a PvPvE game that will pit you against the hostile environment as well as real players. Looting, fighting with guns, trampler fights, and exploration are the key elements of Sand. Well, the game was initially revealed back in 2023, but as its gameplay trailer was released recently, curiosity regarding its release on multiple platforms is at an all-time high. So, without further ado, let’s jump right into the details.

Is there a Sand game PS4, PS5, Xbox Series X/S, Xbox One & Nintendo Switch Release Date
Based on the initial reveal trailer and the recent gameplay trailer, it has been made clear that developers Hologryph and TowerHaus, and publisher tinyBuild are currently eyeing for a PC-exclusive release. The closed Alpha of the game is currently live and offers PC players only to test the game out. The upcoming beta is also exclusive to PC, as there is no mention of a console in either of the trailers. So, it is safe to say that Sand is being developed as a PC-exclusive game. But there are chances of a multiplatform release.
Release on consoles? (Speculations)
tinyBuild, the publisher of Sand, has been a part of/published many multiplatform games, including Farworld Pioneers, Broken Roads, Punch Club 2, Rhythm Sprout, etc. So, the overall reception of Sand, and the demand for its multiplatform availability will play a huge role in their consideration of porting the game to platforms other than PC. But as the game doesn’t even have a release date for the platform where it is going to be available, nothing concrete can be said for now. It is possible that once the beta goes live, many players will give it a try and its popularity will skyrocket. If that happens, the developers/publishers might consider console ports, but this is just speculation from our side, so take it with a pinch of salt.
For now, all you can do is wait until the developers reveal more information regarding the game’s upcoming beta or its availability on platforms except PC. That said, this is all the information we have regarding the release date of Sand for PS4, PS5, Xbox Series X/S, Xbox One, and Nintendo Switch.
