Awaken the potter within you! Kiln, a multiplayer video game from Double Fine and published by Xbox Game Studios, is now available on PC via the Xbox app and Steam, on PS5, Xbox Series, Xbox Cloud Gaming and compatible handheld devices as of April 24, 2026. This online party brawler offers a fresh take on team-based combat, blending skirmishes, clay pot crafting and customization. The title is also part of Xbox Game Pass Ultimate and supports Xbox Play Anywhere.
The gameplay of Kiln rests on a simple premise: sculpt a pot, then use it as a combatant. Players embody a tiny spirit that can possess clay creations, and the form you inhabit directly shapes your in-match characteristics. A small pot can be tougher and nimbler, while a large pot can carry more water. This mobility, in turn, depends on balancing size, speed, capacity, and your role on the team, especially in the competitive mode Quench, where two four-player squads go head to head.
In Kiln, players dive into pottery battles in a quirky world where creation is part of the conflict. Each participant shapes their own pot during a potter’s turn before entering the arena. The aim is then to protect your kiln while trying to extinguish the opposing team’s kiln. Water becomes a crucial resource to transport, defend, or reclaim, even after enemy pots are destroyed.
Kiln is offered in Standard Edition for €19.99 and Fired Up Edition for €29.99 on the Microsoft Store, Steam, and PlayStation Store. This edition includes the base game plus premium enamel finishes, stickers, accessories, and customized pots. Xbox Game Pass Ultimate subscribers can also upgrade to Fired Up for €9.99 to access these extra items.
At launch, Quench is Kiln’s flagship mode. Two teams clash with a straightforward objective: guard their kiln while trying to extinguish the opponents’ kiln. That means carefully managing your water, your movements, and the size of your pot, since each creation brings different advantages to the arena. The customization tools also let players tailor their playstyle before the fight. Now we’ll see how Double Fine plans to evolve this formula after the game’s release.
