Pit of Goblin, a co-op survival extraction game approaching its 1.0 release, is available today as a playtest demo for Xbox Insiders on Xbox Series X|S and Windows PC. The announcement came from Tim, Xbox Program Manager, via Xbox Wire on July 2, 2026.
To jump in, open the Xbox Insider Hub app, navigate to Previews, find Pit of Goblin, hit Join, and install the demo from the Store. The game supports up to four players — you can go solo, but the developers recommend bringing friends or queuing through matchmaking. The core loop has you descending into The Pit, scavenging for food and valuables, and hauling your loot back out to satisfy the King Queen's hunger. Each run is procedurally fresh, and the deeper you push, the harder the climb back out gets.
Pit of Goblin sits in the extraction survival genre — think dungeon-crawling meets resource management with a grimy goblin aesthetic. The playtest is a pre-1.0 build, so the developers are actively hunting for feedback. Players can report bugs directly through the Xbox controller's home button menu under the Games category and Pit of Goblin Demo subcategory.
The team plans to host a play-with-the-devs session on the Xbox Insiders subreddit in the near future. Feedback can also be submitted through the Xbox Insider Program tool or dropped in the game's Discord server.
