Killing Floor 3 Launches On Xbox This July, Negative Beta Feedback Addressed

Tripwire Interactive, the team behind Killing Floor 3, has announced that its upcoming zed-slaying Xbox title will release on July 24th, 2025, following a shaky beta period that took place back in February.

Prior to that beta getting into the hands of the public, Killing Floor 3 was set to grace Xbox Series X|S in March, but mixed feedback on what the sequel was delivering led the team to rethink its launch strategy.

Here’s a bit more info from the team on what it’s been working on since that delay:

“Since delaying the launch of Killing Floor 3, we’ve dedicated the additional development time to responding to the community’s feedback, ensuring the next chapter in the much-loved cult action/horror franchise lives up to our shared vision,

The support from our fans has been incredible, and with the new July 24th release date in sight, we’re thrilled to bring that vision to players not just at launch, but through the continued support of new features and content that is a hallmark of our studio.”

This community feedback included concerns about “everything from design, artwork, UI and animations”, and Tripwire says all of these areas have been addressed for the game’s new July release. You can probably expect lots of post-launch updates down the line as well – Killing Floor 2 was supported for years and years after it first released.

Here at Pure Xbox, we managed to squeeze in a little bit of beta time back in February – and too came away a little concerned by certain aspects of Killing Floor 3. Xbox Series X performance was all over the place, and the game’s artwork & UI was quite dull and hard to properly take in during gameplay. Here’s hoping the experience will be better for this delay, come July 24th.
