The release of Two Point Hospital in 2018 reinvigorated a fanbase anxious for new business building simulation games underserved since the era of Bullfrog's 90s Theme games. It was a striking success, with Two Point Studios ultimately porting Two Point Hospital to consoles and adding four expansions post-launch. Now Two Point Campus is nearing the end of its development and Two Point Studios has confirmed the game's release date, as well as a surprising additional announcement: Two Point Campus is coming to Xbox Game Pass.
Two Point Campus will officially launch on May 17, Two Point Studios has now confirmed. The release date was announced in a new Two Point Campus trailer that details some of the game's university departments, like making a giant pizza or a giant robot. Akin to Two Point Hospital, players will be simulating a business where they construct buildings and facilities, only instead of hospitals players will build colleges.
As noted, Two Point Campus will also be reaching a new audience through Xbox Game Pass. Two Point Studios confirmed that Two Point Campus will be a day one release on Xbox Game Pass, meaning its launch on the subscription service will coincide with its launch on other platforms. The announcement notably only says Xbox Game Pass and not PC Game Pass, which could mean it's only coming to the Xbox part of the subscription. It's also possibly just an oversight on Two Point Studios' part.
With Two Point Campus' release date now confirmed, Two Point Studios has also opened up pre-orders for the game, though Switch pre-orders aren't up quite yet. The game is listed for $39.99, which includes the full title upon its release. There are also some pre-order bonuses, including a glowing orb statue, a potted bush shaped like a "U," and a fountain shaped like a hat rack covered in open books.
Those who pre-order Two Point Campus will also unlock special bonus items for Two Point Hospital, including chef and student NPCs, a cauldron full of pea soup, and a suit of armor statue. These items will be available immediately upon pre-order.
Two Point Hospital's success has helped create a new wave of excitement for unique sims and Two Point Campus looks to build on that momentum. As Two Point Hospital did by being ported to consoles, Two Point Campus again hopes to extend the franchise's audience by coming to Xbox Game Pass.
Two Point Campus releases May 17 on PC, PS4, PS5, Switch, Xbox One, and Xbox Series X/S.
