Originally released on PS4, PS5 and PC, Bugsnax was eventually ported over to the Xbox Series X/S, Xbox One, and Nintendo Switch last year. The game has players exploring a mysterious island inhabited by half-bug, half-snack creatures. Characters can eat these creatures to replace parts of their bodies.

Bugsnax also saw an expansion, titled The Isle of BIGsnax, released back in 2022. The expansion was released as a free update to the base game, and will likely be making it to the iOS release on launch. The Isle of BIGsnax involves “supersized Bugsnax”, along with new challenges and decorations.

Bugsnax is currently available on PC, PS4, PS5, Xbox One, Xbox Series X/S, and Nintendo Switch.

The Isle of Bigsnax expansion is also live on all platforms, taking players to a brand new island biome with larger variants of Bugsnax to capture. You’ll need to use a special substance called Shrink Spice to cut them down to size (along figuring out how to approach certain Bigsnax like the Clawbsteroni who can bounce the substance away).

Environmental puzzles, new activities accessible via the mailbox and a hut that players can decorate with certain items are also included. All in all, there’s about three hours of new content for players to chew through. Stay tuned for details on subsequent updates.

Next week is when things get spicy as 7 Days to Die launches on cloud, consoles and PC on April 26th. Turn-based action title Research and Destroy is out on the same day for consoles and PC. Then there’s Bugsnax for cloud, consoles and PC on April 28th, which coincides with the release of its free expansion The Isle of Bigsnax.

Unsouled, a “punishingly difficult (yet fair)” action RPG launches on the same day for consoles and PC. A number of titles will also be leaving Game Pass on April 30th so play them now while you still have the chance:

• Cricket 19 (Cloud, Console, and PC)
• Outlast 2 (Cloud, Console, and PC)
• Secret Neighbor (Cloud, Console, and PC)
• Streets of Rage 4 (Cloud, Console, and PC)

Young Horses recently confirmed that Bugsnax’s large-scale (and free) new expansion, The Isle of Bigsnax, will be launching on April 28. On that same day, the game will also launch for Xbox Series X/S, Xbox One, and Nintendo Switch, while also finally seeing its Steam launch, which was first officially confirmed in August of last year.

Meanwhile, Bugsnax will also be available via Xbox Game Pass and PC Game Pass on the same day- and of course, The Isle of Bigsnax will be available as a free update on all platforms as well.

Bugsnax: The Isle of Bigsnax will launch later this month, on April 28, and in updates published on the PlayStation Blog and Xbox Wire, creative director Kevin Zuhn has also provided more details on what to expect from it. The expansion will add roughly three hours of new content, taking players to the titular Isle of Bigsnax, which is a completely new biome that, according to Zuhn, is twice as large as any of the base game’s biomes.

The new biome will place a greater emphasis on environmental puzzles, while of course, there will also be plenty of new Bugsnax to capture. Some of these, however, will be massive in size- called Bigsnax, these will have to be shrunk down to regular size by using a volatile substance called Shrink Spice (which explodes 30 seconds after you pick it up).

One of the new Bigsnax being introduced in the expansion is Clawbsteroni, a lobster made out of mac and cheese, sees a giant trampoline to bounce the spice away from its head. Meanwhile, other additions and expansions include your very own hut to decorate using things you find in the game, and get new activities to tackle via your mailbox.

Young Horses recently also announced that Bugsnax will be launching for Nintendo Switch and Xbox consoles on April 28, the same day The Isle of Bigsnax releases. The expansion will, of course, also be available on those platforms in addition to PS5, PS4, and PC.

In October last year, Young Horses announced what they described as a “supersized” expansion for the game called Bugsnax: The Isle of BIGsnax. Coming as a free update to all owners of the game, it was announced with a 2022 launch window, and taking to Twitter, Young Horses recently confirmed that the expansion’s release date will be shared tomorrow, on April 12.

The Isle of BIGsnax is going to add plenty of new content to the base game, including a new biome, new challenges and quests, new Bugsnax to capture, new decorations, and more. We’ll likely learn more about the expansion when its launch date is announced imminently.

Bugsnax is available on PS5, PS4, and PC. Last year, its developers said they would “love to” bring the game to other platforms, but no announcements have been made on that front yet.

At the recent State of Play, the developer announced Bugsnax: The Isle of BIGsnax. The new expansion will take players to a mysterious new land and meet “supersized Bugsnax”, while there will also be new challenges to complete, decorations to find and personalize your hut with, and even customize your Bugsnax with hats. The expansion is coming out in early 2022, and best of all, it’ll be a free update for everyone who already has the base game. Check out its announcement trailer below.

Bugsnax is available on PS5, PS4, and PC, while there’s also a chance that it ends up coming to other platforms down the line. In 2022, the game will also be releasing for Steam.
