Deck of Haunts is bringing its malevolent housebuilding roguelike to PlayStation, Xbox, and Nintendo Switch consoles on October 8, 2026, complete with a massive bundle of new content.
Sinister deckbuilding roguelike Deck of Haunts is officially making the jump from PC to consoles. IGN South Africa reports that the game will launch on October 8, 2026, landing on PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X|S, Xbox One, Nintendo Switch, and even the upcoming Nintendo Switch 2. If you missed out on playing the architect of a malevolent haunted house on your rig, you will soon get your chance from the comfort of the couch.
The console version is not just a straightforward port. According to the latest release date trailer, the port packs a serious amount of new content, including fresh cards, rooms, starter decks, and story missions. Players can also expect expanded room-building mechanics, more advanced human navigation, a brutal nightmare mode featuring the Grim Reaper, and specialized controller improvements designed to make managing your haunted estate smooth on a gamepad.
For fans of niche roguelikes and deckbuilders, this release bridges the gap between PC complexity and console accessibility. The addition of robust meta-progression, curated scenarios, and new creatures gives the console player base plenty of reasons to dive in. It is a neat twist on the standard dungeon crawler formula that puts you squarely in the villain role, and it arrives just in time for the spooky autumn season.
