Xbox console owners will finally be able to play Five Nights at Freddy's: Security Breach later this month. The ninth mainline installment in the survival horror series puts players in the role of Gregory, who's been trapped in a mall full of deadly animatronics overnight. Security Breach is the first in the series to allow players to roam freely instead of limiting all gameplay to one room, and unlike previous games, the eponymous Freddy can be utilized as an ally to hide from enemies.
A new blog post from developer unlock all of FNAF: Security Breach's endings. The game is set to arrive on Xbox Series X/S and Xbox One on November 22. The blog post also discussed the future of the Security Breach DLC Ruin, stating that while no gameplay details can be shared at the moment, the team is currently ahead of schedule in development of the expansion, which will release sometime in 2023.
FNAF: Security Breach's Xbox Stability Should Be Worth The Wait
Some Xbox players may have been disappointed over how long they've had to wait for Five Nights at Freddy's: Security Breach to become available to them. However, in a gaming landscape where titles are often released in unfinished, buggy states, a wait is an overall better move for developers when it comes to keeping players happy in the long run. Upon initial release, FNAF: Security Breach had over 100 bugs that needed patching, and the game initially didn't receive a fix for several months.
The various performance issues that were present in the original version of FNAF: Security Breach largely contributed to the unfavorable reviews the game received, alongside widespread fan disappointment. This is a problem that's hurt countless titles, and the pattern is clear - when games are rushed into release, players pay the price. Despite the success of the Five Nights at Freddy's franchise, developer Steel Wool Studios still remains fairly small, and considering that it's also working on other projects alongside the port, a delay is completely justified.
When compared to past FNAF games, Security Breach features a lot of extra details that undoubtedly take more time to get right on a new platform. The game's free-roam mechanics mean a lot more animations, controls, and other minutiae must be perfected for a new console, and it's much better for a fully-functional version to be released at a later date. Now, almost a year after its initial launch, Xbox players will hopefully be able to enjoy the highest-quality port possible of Five Nights at Freddy's: Security Breach.
