Abyssus Brings Co-op Brinepunk Chaos to Game Pass Today

The sea is a dangerous place to get stranded, especially when you add ancient sunken cities, corrupted monsters, and weapons powered by an energy source known as brine. DoubleMoose Games’ fast-moving co-op FPS, Abyssus, is officially available today on Xbox Series X|S, PlayStation 5, and PC. For those subscribed to Game Pass Ultimate, Premium, or PC Game Pass, the game is playable at no additional cost from day one.

Brinehunters and Sunken Secrets

In Abyssus, players step into the boots of Brinehunters—explorers tasked with investigating vast brine deposits beneath a lost civilization. This mysterious energy source powers the game's unique technology and weapons. However, the expedition faces significant pushback from the corrupted inhabitants of the ancient kingdom, turning the mission into a roguelite gauntlet of hand-crafted locations, swarms of enemies, and high-stakes boss encounters.

While the game can be played solo, it is designed for a squad of up to four players. Success relies on coordinating loadouts, managing positioning, and effectively using the eight available weapons. With procedural sequencing across 64 hand-crafted levels, the path forward is never the same, demanding quick communication to survive the deeper, more dangerous depths.

The 1.3 Update and Crossplay

The console launch coincides with the release of the free 1.3 update. This patch adds a new god and additional blessings to the mix, alongside a fresh playable area, new enemies, bosses, and room objectives. The update also expands the skill tree and, crucially for groups, enables crossplay across all platforms. Whether you are on PC, PlayStation, or Xbox, you can now grab your squad and dive in together. The developers have even added new sea shanties to the game for those who prefer their underwater firefights accompanied by a bit of singing.

Brine Edition Cosmetics

For players looking for extra flair, the Abyssus – Brine Edition is available for £29.74. This bundle includes the base game along with four distinct cosmetic packs: Brinehunter, Brineguard, Brinefrost, and Brinerot. Each pack contains unique helmets, suits, frames, and emotes to customize your character's appearance while navigating the abyss.

Whether you are jumping in via Xbox Game Pass or picking up the standard edition on PlayStation 5 or PC, Abyssus offers a chaotic, replayable co-op experience. Just be prepared: the depths are rarely welcoming to those who go looking for trouble.
