[p][/p][p]XLGAMES (CEO: Kwanho Choi) announced that its upcoming extraction-action title, “THE CUBE, SAVE US,” developed by the company’s in-house studio CUBE, has become one of the most talked-about games at the 2025 Steam Next Fest. [/p][p][/p][p]Launched for demo play on October 13 at 2 AM PT starting with the Korean server, THE CUBE, SAVE US quickly climbed the Steam charts—ranking No.3 among all global demos and No.1 among Korean games on the very first day. The title recorded a peak concurrent player count of 6,960, and has been added to over 50,000 wishlists during the festival, bringing the total to over 114,000 wishlists in just 60 days since its Steam page debut. The strong early traction signals global anticipation for XL Games’ next major release.[/p][p]Previously, Korean hit Lies of P achieved the No.2 ranking for daily active demo players during Steam Next Fest 2023, underscoring the growing global appeal of Korean-made premium games. [/p][p][/p][p]Set in a post-apocalyptic Earth devastated by nuclear war, THE CUBE, SAVE US is a next-generation extraction action game where players battle for survival around a mysterious alien artifact known as “the Cube.” Built with Unreal Engine 5, the game features realistic 3D visuals, 63-player PvPvE sessions, and 27 dynamically generated maps that create unpredictable, adrenaline-filled encounters each match.[/p][p]Rather than traditional character classes, players can strategically combine seven weapon types and multiple skills, offering a high degree of freedom in combat. Alongside intense battles, players can hunt monsters, gather resources, craft items, and trade—delivering a deeply immersive survival experience.[/p][p][/p][p]Global gaming media have already taken notice. PC Gamer (www.pcgamer.com) named THE CUBE, SAVE US one of its Top 10 Games of Steam Next Fest, highlighting it as a third-person melee-focused extraction title that “asks, Will you face the cubes, or will you simply perish?” Meanwhile, GameGrin (www.gamegrin.com) also featured it in its Top 10 Steam Next Fest Demos to Play This Weekend, ranking it third overall.[/p][p][/p][p]Executive Producer Youngsung Park commented,[/p][p][/p][p]“We’re thrilled by the overwhelming response from global players. Over the weekend, we’ve added new modes such as ‘PvE Squad,’ ‘Solo,’ and competitive ‘Solo/Squad’ modes for more thrilling experiences. While we faced unexpected server congestion early on due to the surge in traffic, the system has since stabilized, and players can now enjoy smooth gameplay. We sincerely thank everyone for their support.” THE CUBE, SAVE US is scheduled for Early Access release on Steam later this year, with the official launch date and updates to be announced via the game’s Steam page.[/p][p][/p][p]For more information, visit the official YouTube channel at youtube.com/@SAVEUSCUBE and the Steam page at store.steampowered.com/app/3810880/THE_CUBE_SAVE_US[/p]
