Terrible Lizards launches on Xbox Series X|S and Game Pass

Terrible Lizards, a first-person parkour horror game from WDR Studios and publisher Digital Pajamas, launched October 29, 2026, on Xbox Series X|S, PlayStation 5, and PC via Steam, with a simultaneous day-one release on Xbox Game Pass. The game takes place in 1992 at Dalton’s Dinos, an abandoned roadside attraction on Route 66 in New Mexico. Players control Jordan, a college student and track athlete stranded after his car breaks down. They escape pursuing dinosaur animatronics using running, jumping, climbing, wall-running, bouncing, and sliding because the game features no combat weapons.

Xbox Game Pass Ultimate and PC Game Pass subscribers receive Terrible Lizards on day one at no cost. Game Pass Premium tier members do not get access at launch and must buy it separately. The game costs $24.99 in the United States and £20.99 in the United Kingdom with a launch discount on Xbox, PlayStation, and PC.

The October 29, 2026, Game Pass update introduced four new titles. Terrible Lizards is one of two day-one releases in the final wave of October additions. The other day-one release is Scramble Knights Online. The wave also includes Final Fantasy VII Remake Intergrade and The Séance of Blake Manor.

Nine games leave the Xbox Game Pass library on October 31, 2026, including Deep Rock Galactic and Lego Star Wars: The Skywalker Saga. Football Manager 26 titles depart on November 10, 2026.

Terrible Lizards is the debut title from WDR Studios, the game development branch of JT Music. JT Music co-founders including John Gelardi founded the studio. Gelardi said the team are massive horror fans who took the plunge to make their own game, hoping it inspires others to create their own music and games.

The movement system includes an aerial control mechanic that allows midair trajectory adjustment, giving the game a low skill floor and a high skill ceiling. Encounter types include direct chases, environmental collapse sequences, and open arena hunts. The game also offers traditional platforming, exploration, environmental puzzles, larger caverns, and New Game Plus content.

A free Steam demo launched September 24, 2026, featuring a story section and a separate parkour-focused gameplay section. The PC version requires Windows 10, at least 6 GB of RAM, a GTX 1050 2 GB or RX 560 2 GB graphics card, and 25 GB of available disk space. Recommended specs rise to 12 GB of RAM and an RTX 2080 or RX 6800 XT.

Terrible Lizards supports English text and voiceover, with interface and text localization for French, Italian, German, Spanish, Japanese, Brazilian Portuguese, Russian, and Simplified Chinese. Horror Fuel reviewed the game on October 28, 2026, with a score of 9.5 out of 10, praising the voice acting, soundtrack, and enemy designs.

No one has announced a Nintendo Switch, Switch 2, PlayStation 4, or Xbox One version of Terrible Lizards, so the game is only available on current-generation consoles and PC. The release arrives in time for Halloween, offering Game Pass subscribers a parkour horror option alongside the supernatural investigation of The Séance of Blake Manor.
