When does Mouthwashing release on consoles?

The developers announce October 29, 2026. PS4, PS5, Xbox Series X|S and Nintendo Switch are named in the console announcement; the separate Xbox announcement adds Xbox One and Xbox on PC. Exact unlock hours across all regions have not been verified.

Is Mouthwashing included with Game Pass?

Microsoft names Ultimate, Premium and PC Game Pass for October 29. Check your plan and device entitlement. Essential is not listed, and the Game Pass device row does not name Xbox One even though the purchase page supports it.

Is there a native Switch 2 edition?

Nintendo identifies its product as a Nintendo Switch game and marks Switch 2 compatibility as supported. That does not establish a separate native Switch 2 edition or additional performance features.

Does a Steam purchase include Xbox?

A Steam purchase does not establish an Xbox license. Play Anywhere’s included devices and shared progress apply to the participating Microsoft-store version, using the same account.

Will the physical edition arrive October 29?

Do not assume so. The official physical-edition page offers release notifications rather than a confirmed matching shipment date. Digital availability and physical fulfillment need separate checks.

Can Mouthwashing be played in co-op?

The official Xbox listing identifies it as single-player. No co-op mode is listed.

Release date and unlock times

October 29 is the newly announced console date, not Mouthwashing’s original release. The Steam version launched on September 26, 2024. Wrong Organ and CRITICAL REFLEX’s October 20 announcement names PlayStation 4, PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X|S and Nintendo Switch; the publisher’s separate Xbox announcement also confirms Xbox One and Xbox on PC.

A shared unlock-hour schedule was not confirmed in the announcements checked on October 25. If you are planning a session in Europe, the Americas or Asia, use the countdown on your own console’s store when available. October 29 does not guarantee midnight access in every country.

Editions and regional prices

Xbox digital game The US Xbox Store lists $12.99; the UK listing is £10.74 and Spain’s is €12.99. These are local storefront prices checked on October 25, not currency conversions or a guarantee for every region. The listing carries Xbox Play Anywhere.

Nintendo Switch digital game Nintendo’s US product data lists $12.99. It identifies the product as a Nintendo Switch game, with Switch 2 compatibility marked supported. That is backward compatibility, not confirmation of a separate enhanced Switch 2 edition. Check the price in your account’s own eShop.

Physical editions Official physical editions have a separate notification page. It does not establish an October 29 shipping date, the final platform list or a current final price. Do not order expecting the digital date to determine when a boxed copy will arrive.

Choose the digital base game if you simply want to play; wait for confirmed package contents and delivery details if you want a collectible edition. A PlayStation price was not verified for this guide, so check the PS4 or PS5 listing rather than budgeting from another platform’s price.

PC players have another option: Steam currently lists the game at US$7.79, reduced from US$12.99, with the promotion ending November 3. This is a Steam offer, not a console launch discount. Recheck the live price before paying.

What changes with this release

This launch brings the existing horror story to more devices. The publisher describes a first-person, narrative-led game set aboard the stranded freighter Tulpar. Five crew members face dwindling supplies, isolation and a breakdown of trust. Exploration and attention to the surroundings drive the premise; this is not being presented as a multiplayer survival game with friends managing a spaceship together.

The announcement promises access on more platforms, not extra story chapters, a remaster or a new ending. Players returning from PC should not buy a second copy expecting a new campaign. Avoid plot walkthroughs if you want to discover the characters’ histories yourself.

The developers have also announced an October 29 update adding Italian. Because the announcement was posted on Steam, verify the language list for your console version rather than assuming every platform updates identically. Nintendo’s current list includes Japanese, Korean, Simplified and Traditional Chinese, European and Latin American Spanish, and Brazilian Portuguese, among others. A supported text language does not automatically mean a fully voiced translation.

Game Pass and purchase ownership

Microsoft’s October Game Pass announcement lists Mouthwashing for October 29 on Game Pass Ultimate, Game Pass Premium and PC Game Pass. Its device row names cloud, Xbox Series X|S, handheld and PC. Essential is not named. The separate purchase listing supports Xbox One, but that older console is omitted from the subscription announcement’s device row; check the game’s entitlement on your Xbox One rather than treating the two lists as identical.

Already subscribed? Check your plan’s library before buying. For another upcoming mystery in the same Game Pass lineup, see our The Séance of Blake Manor console guide. Choose whether to use your current membership or buy a separate digital license.

Xbox Play Anywhere is the clearest ownership benefit here. Microsoft says participating digital purchases through the Xbox or Windows Store work on supported Xbox consoles, Windows PCs and supported Windows handhelds without a second purchase. Sign in with the same Microsoft account; saves, achievements and supported add-ons follow you within that ecosystem. The badge does not turn a Steam, PlayStation or Nintendo purchase into an Xbox license, and it is not a promise of save transfers between those stores. Microsoft’s FAQ specifies Windows 11 handhelds; this badge is not a Steam Deck compatibility certification.

Preload, storage and PC requirements

The checked announcements do not establish a console preload timetable or final installed sizes for every platform. Use your device’s install screen for its current requirement and leave room for updates. The Steam requirement below is for PC, not an Xbox, PlayStation or Switch download size.

Steam PC requirements

Minimum CPUIntel Core i5-6300HQ

Recommended CPUIntel Core i5-1135G7

Memory8 GB minimum; 16 GB recommended

GraphicsGeForce GTX 560 minimum; GTX 1050 recommended

DirectXVersion 11

Storage3 GB available space

One specification needs context: the game’s Steam requirements still name 64-bit Windows 7, but Steam ended Windows 7, 8 and 8.1 support on January 1, 2024. Valve does not guarantee continued functionality on those unsupported systems. Do not build a new purchase decision around that old game-level OS line; check the current Steam client requirements and use a supported operating system.

Before you buy

Match the account and device Check the library attached to the account you will use, including subscription access. Compare the cost of the version you actually need, not a cheaper listing for a different storefront.

Check the local listing Confirm your country, currency, hardware and language. On PlayStation, check whether the specific product includes both PS4 and PS5 versions; an announcement naming both consoles does not establish cross-buy entitlement.

Decide between digital and boxed For Halloween plans, use confirmed availability rather than an undated physical-edition announcement. If a boxed copy is the priority, wait for its shipping schedule instead of buying digitally out of uncertainty.

Check content suitability Read the age rating and content descriptors before gifting it or playing around other people. You can check suitability without reading a full plot explanation and spoiling the story.

⚠️

Retro visuals do not mean mild content

The US Xbox listing is Mature 17+ for intense violence, blood and gore, and strong language. Do not judge suitability from the low-poly appearance alone, especially when choosing a gift or a game to play around younger viewers.

Is it worth buying at launch?

For someone who has waited for a console version, the attraction is playing on their preferred device. Existing Game Pass members should check included access first. Returning PC players should weigh portability or collecting against the cost of another copy, rather than expecting additional story content.

This guide assembles official information, not hands-on testing of the console ports. Performance, loading and controller feel remain untested here. If those details determine your purchase, wait for platform-specific evidence after release; the announcement alone cannot settle them.
