Clive Barker’s Hellraiser: Revival launches Thursday, October 8, 2026. The most useful time to treat as confirmed right now is the PlayStation Store unlock: the U.S. listing shows 12:00 PM UTC on October 8, which is 8:00 AM ET and 5:00 AM PT. Other storefronts can use different unlock schedules, so a single global release time should not be assumed unless the platform itself shows it.
Saber Interactive’s new single-player first-person action-horror game is coming to PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X|S, Nintendo Switch 2 and PC via Steam. It is not currently advertised as a day-one Xbox Game Pass release. Xbox’s own October 5–9 release roundup lists Hellraiser: Revival for October 8, but unlike Game Pass titles in the same roundup, it does not carry a Game Pass label.
Hellraiser: Revival release date and confirmed time
The release date is October 8, 2026. Saber Interactive, Steam, PlayStation and Xbox all point to that date. Where things become more complicated is the exact hour.
| Platform | Date | Time status |
|---|---|---|
| PS5 | October 8 | 12:00 PM UTC shown on PlayStation Store |
| Xbox Series X|S | October 8 | Date confirmed; check console store for local unlock |
| PC (Steam) | October 8 | Date confirmed; Steam store page does not provide one universal time in advance |
| Nintendo Switch 2 | October 8 | Date confirmed; regional eShop timing can vary |
Using the PlayStation Store’s 12:00 PM UTC listing, the PS5 unlock converts to 5:00 AM Pacific, 8:00 AM Eastern, 1:00 PM in the UK during British Summer Time, and 2:00 PM in Central European Summer Time. That conversion should not be copied over to Steam, Xbox or Nintendo without checking those stores, because publishers can release the same game at different times across storefronts.
Price and editions
The U.S. PlayStation Store lists the Standard Edition at $39.99 and the Deluxe Edition at $49.99. Steam also has Standard and Deluxe options. The Deluxe package adds bonus digital content rather than changing the core campaign.
Steam’s Deluxe description includes extra weapon/content items, a digital artbook, soundtrack, novella and an 1980s-style visual filter. Exact bundle wording can vary by storefront, so buyers should compare the edition page on the platform they plan to use before paying the extra amount.
Is Hellraiser: Revival on Game Pass?
No day-one Game Pass release has been announced. This is stronger than relying on retailer speculation because Xbox’s own weekly release post marks games such as Echo Weaver with “Game Pass” while the Hellraiser: Revival entry is listed simply as an October 8 release.
That does not mean the game can never join Game Pass later. It only means there is no official day-one inclusion in the launch information available before release. If Microsoft or Saber changes that, this guide should be updated rather than treating launch status as permanent.

Saber’s official FAQ describes Revival as a single-player experience. It is not presented as a multiplayer or always-online game, and the FAQ specifically says an internet connection is not required to play.
How long is Hellraiser: Revival?
Saber estimates a normal playthrough at roughly 8 to 12 hours. Actual time will depend on difficulty, exploration and how quickly a player solves or navigates encounters. The estimate is useful because it sets expectations: Revival is a focused story-driven horror game rather than a live-service structure designed around an endless endgame.
What is the game about?
You play as Aidan, who is trying to save his girlfriend Sunny from the Labyrinth. The central tool is the Genesis Configuration, a puzzle-box-like object tied to the Cenobites and Pinhead. Gameplay mixes first-person combat, survival-horror pressure and supernatural abilities connected to the box.
The official material positions it as a new story inside the Hellraiser universe rather than a direct game adaptation of one specific film. That distinction is useful for players who have seen only parts of the movie series: the game is designed to tell its own playable chapter.
Is there a free demo?
Yes. Steam lists a free demo that became available in September 2026. It gives PC players a way to test the tone and performance before launch. If you are mainly concerned about whether the first-person combat or horror style suits you, the demo is more useful than relying on trailers alone.
PC requirements
Saber’s official FAQ lists a 64-bit Windows 10 22H2-or-newer baseline, with a Ryzen 3 1200 or Intel Core i5-4690, 8 GB RAM and a GeForce GTX 1660 or Radeon RX Vega 64-class GPU in the minimum requirements. Storage is listed at about 50 GB.
PC players should still read the Steam requirements at launch in case driver notes or recommended hardware are adjusted. Minimum specifications tell you that the game should run; they do not guarantee a particular resolution, graphics preset or frame rate.
Does it require an internet connection?
No. Saber says the campaign can be played offline. Storefront authentication, downloading the game, updates and cloud saves may naturally require a connection, but the campaign itself is not described as requiring a persistent online session.
Will there be DLC?
Saber’s pre-release FAQ says there is no post-launch content planned at the time of writing. Plans can change, but there is no announced season pass or roadmap that buyers need to factor into launch-day pricing.
What to check on launch day
If your store still shows a countdown after October 8 begins locally, do not assume there is a delay. First compare the platform’s own product-page timer. Steam, Xbox, PlayStation and Nintendo can roll out titles on different clocks. The PS5 listing provides the clearest pre-release timestamp, while the other platforms are safest treated as October 8 releases whose exact regional unlock should be verified in the storefront.
