Xbox’s latest co-op horror game is RetroStyle Games’ Last Pirates: Die Together, a rather strange pirate adventure where players hunt for treasure, fight monsters, and occasionally lose their butts.
Last Pirates is a physics-based comedy horror game that takes some inspiration from R.E.P.O., but throws pirates and a few ridiculous gameplay mechanics into the mix. It arrived on Xbox Series X|S and Xbox PC through Game Preview on November 11, after spending the past few months in Steam Early Access. The Xbox version also supports full crossplay with Steam, alongside Xbox Play Anywhere support.
RetroStyle Games says Last Pirates has already crossed 350,000 wishlists on Steam, with its demo also making the top 50 during Steam Next Fest. Not bad for a game that started as an internal game jam at the Kyiv-based studio in January 2026.
Pirates, monsters, and detachable butts
The game is built around a crew of up to four pirates who visit cursed islands looking for treasure. Players have to bring enough loot back to their ship to meet the captain’s quota, while dealing with monsters, traps, and the game’s physics system. There is also a solo mode for those who don’t want to play with a crew.
Your pirate has stretchy arms that can grab practically anything, from treasure to furniture and doors. The characters can also lose their butts, which can be slapped onto fallen teammates to revive them. And yes, apparently you can play basketball with them too.
There’s also a monster called the Mimic, which can copy another player’s appearance and use snippets from their voice chat. So even someone who looks and sounds like your teammate might actually be something else.
What’s coming after Xbox Game Preview?
Last Pirates is now available on Xbox for $9.99, although this isn’t the finished release. The Game Preview version has a lobby browser, weapons, unlockable outfits, and progression systems, with RetroStyle Games confirming that Xbox and Steam will receive updates at the same time. The developer has another event planned for winter, while the full version of Last Pirates: Die Together is currently scheduled to release on Xbox and PC in the first quarter of 2027.
