No Rest for the Wicked” May Not Come to Xbox

Delay in Release of No Rest for the Wicked – Moon Studios Focuses on PlayStation 5 and Switch 2, Consults with Microsoft for Potential Xbox Version

Thomas Mahler, CEO of Moon Studios, indicated that the release of the much-anticipated RPG No Rest for the Wicked may be delayed due to current market conditions. Mahler later clarified on his X profile that while the studio aims to launch No Rest for the Wicked across multiple platforms, it lacks the resources for a simultaneous release. Based on current console sales figures, he explained that prioritizing PlayStation 5 makes the most sense. The studio’s Discord community confirmed that Moon Studios is considering ports for PlayStation 5 and Switch 2 and will consult with Microsoft regarding an Xbox release. This strategic focus is informed by recent market data. As of March this year, Sony and Nintendo have collectively sold over 106 million units of their PlayStations and Switches. In contrast, Microsoft stopped sharing Xbox Series X/S sales figures in 2023, with analysts estimating approximately 29 million units sold by February. Notably, the new Switch 2, released just a month ago, is already setting new sales records for Nintendo. Moon Studios’ approach reflects a strategic decision to adapt its release plan to current market dynamics and maximize reach.
