Hamburg, Germany – October 21, 2026 – Publisher Daedalic Entertainment and Leverkusen-based developer Quad Head today announced that the successful co-op cave adventure Pratfall is coming to PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X|S and Nintendo Switch 2 in early 2027. Pre-orders are planned to open in late 2026.
The partnership marks the next step in Daedalic Entertainment’s multiplatform strategy and further strengthens co-op games as one of the publisher’s core pillars. Daedalic will handle the complete console publishing program, working closely with Quad Head across porting, quality assurance, platform certification and marketing.
Originally released on Steam in April 2026, Pratfall reached 100,000 copies sold shortly after launch. The game has now sold more than 600,000 copies, making it one of the most successful German indie releases of recent years.
“Pratfall has always been at its best when people are laughing, shouting and desperately trying to save each other from a terrible fall,” said Tim Schroeder at Quad Head. “The response from the PC community surpassed everything we hoped for. Bringing the game to consoles is the natural next step, and Daedalic is the ideal partner to help us do it properly and bring players across all platforms together.”
In Pratfall, players fall, dig and explode their way through a dangerous cave system in search of their lost dog. Along the way, they must catch falling friends, avoid traps and hazards, and contend with the deadliest force of all: gravity.
Procedurally generated biomes ensure that every expedition plays out differently, while destructible terrain, interactive objects and a generous supply of explosives create countless opportunities for creative problem-solving, unexpected disasters and memorable co-op moments.
Its immediately understandable premise, physics-driven gameplay and complete gamepad support make Pratfall a natural fit for consoles. The upcoming versions will introduce full cross-play between PC, PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X|S and Nintendo Switch 2, allowing the entire community to explore, fail and fall together. Further new features will be revealed in the coming months.
“Pratfall is one of those games whose appeal becomes clear within seconds, but whose emergent co-op chaos keeps creating stories long after,” said Carsten Fichtelmann, CEO and Founder at Daedalic Entertainment. “Quad Head has created one of the standout German indie success stories of recent years. The studio’s creativity, humor and close relationship with its community make this a perfect partnership.”
“Bringing Pratfall to consoles is exactly the kind of project our multiplatform strategy is built for,” added Jonas Hüsges, COO at Daedalic Entertainment. “It is already a proven success on PC, it fits perfectly within our co-op publishing pillar, and its accessible controls and shared physics chaos feel right at home on console.”
Pratfall will launch for PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X|S and Nintendo Switch 2 in early 2027. Pre-orders will open in late 2026.
