About The Long Dark

The Long Dark is a survival game developed and published by Hinterland Studio, directed by Raphael van Lierop. The game entered Early Access in 2014 and reached its official 1.0 release on August 1, 2017, for PC, PlayStation 4, and Xbox One, with a Nintendo Switch version following on September 17, 2020, and enhanced Xbox Series X/S and PlayStation 5 releases arriving in 2025.

Set on the fictional Great Bear Island off the coast of Northern Canada, the game follows the aftermath of a mysterious geomagnetic event that instantly wipes out electricity and modern technology across the region. Survival Mode, the game's core sandbox experience, strips away narrative entirely, tasking players with managing hunger, thirst, fatigue, and body temperature against an unforgiving wilderness with permadeath, but genuine, lasting consequences for every decision made. Weather, wildlife, and the passage of time all shape how each playthrough unfolds, with no two runs playing out the same way.

WINTERMUTE is the game's episodic story mode, following bush pilot Will Mackenzie and Dr. Astrid Greenwood after their plane crashes deep in the Canadian wilderness following the same mysterious flash of light that triggers Survival Mode's events. Separated after the crash, Mackenzie searches for Astrid while uncovering the scope of the disaster around him, encountering the small town of Milton and the people struggling to survive within it. The full five-episode story runs roughly 30 hours, featuring voice performances from Jennifer Hale, Mark Meer, David Hayter, and Elias Toufexis, alongside a haunting original score composed by Cris Velasco.

Several standalone Challenge Modes offer shorter, objective-based experiences designed to run one to three hours each, including Whiteout, a race to gather supplies before a monster blizzard hits, and Hunted, an escape from a murderous bear. Completing Challenges unlocks Feats, providing long-term gameplay benefits usable in Survival Mode. A paid expansion pass, Tales from the Far Territory, adds new regions, gameplay systems, and narrative challenges to Survival Mode across a roughly 2-year rollout of content.

The Long Dark holds a Metacritic score of 77. The Long Dark is available on Xbox Game Pass Ultimate, PC Game Pass, and Xbox Game Pass Premium. If you are already a subscriber, you can access it directly through your membership. If you do not have Game Pass, GameBoost offers Xbox Game Pass gift cards as an alternative way to get started.
