While Five Nights at Freddy's: Security Breach recently launched on PC, PS4, and PS5, Xbox and Switch users may have to wait longer before the survival horror game franchise becomes accessible on their consoles. In 2019, Scott Cawthon, creator of the FNAF series, posted a teaser on his website, and since then, the new title has been anticipated to arrive in the following year. Unfortunately, FNAF fans who are also Xbox or Nintendo Switch users will not have the chance to experience Five Nights at Freddy's: Security Breach upon its initial release due to PlayStation's exclusivity deal.
Five Nights at Freddy's: Security Breach was first officially revealed as a timed console exclusive during the 2020 PlayStation 5 Showcase event. Furthermore, the PlayStation teaser trailer has stated that Five Nights at Freddy's: Security Breach will not be available on other consoles until three months after its release date. The statement suggests that similar to other entries in the FNAF series, Five Nights at Freddy's: Security Breach may be coming to Microsoft's console and Nintendo Switch in the future.
FNAF: Security Breach is the first among all other Five Nights at Freddy's titles to be promoted as an AAA game allowing for more interactive and improved gameplay. Players will take on the role of a young boy named Gregory as they spend five nights trapped at Freddy Fazbear’s Mega Pizzaplex. Gregory must survive the evenings while being hunted by reimagined Five Nights at Freddy’s characters. Hopefully, Xbox and Nintendo Switch players will be able to enjoy the new and exciting FNAF gameplay soon on their platforms.
When Will FNAF: Security Breach Be Released On Xbox And Switch?
While neither Xbox nor Nintendo Switch issued an official announcement, FNAF: Security Breach may be expected to arrive on other consoles around March 2022, marking the end of the franchise's timed exclusivity on PlayStation. Nonetheless, Steel Wool Studios' decision is the major factor in determining whether or not the latest Five Nights at Freddy's title is ported to other consoles soon after the PlayStation exclusivity deal ends.
Overall, the Five Nights at Freddy's: Security Breach launch has been a success thus far, despite being delayed a few times owing to the COVID-19 pandemic and additions to the game throughout its development. At the moment, some players have already been experiencing bugs and crashing upon its release, however. Developers will likely work on patching technical issues on current platforms before the Five Nights at Freddy's: Security Breach debuts on Xbox and Switch, provided they receive enough feedback over the course of PlayStation's timed exclusive deal.
