Alba: A Wildlife Adventure launched on PC and Apple Arcade towards the end of 2020, and now after some months of exclusivity, the environmental exploration game finds its way on other platforms including Xbox. The game carries a strong environmental message, but more than just a message, the development team, Ustwo Games, itself supports a range of great causes, going so far as to donate proceeds towards initiatives like reforestation. If anything, having the title appear on more platforms not only spreads its positive message to a wider gaming audience, but it also helps that as an adventure platformer Alba: A Wildlife Adventure is an absolute treat.

Alba: A Wildlife Adventure, the acclaimed open-world exploration game from Monument Valley developer UsTwo, will - after winning over iOS and Steam audiences last year - be making its way to Xbox, PlayStation, and Switch next Wednesday, 9th June.
Alba shares a similar focus on good deeds and community spirit as UsTwo s antique restoration game Assemble with Care, but fashions a much more open-ended adventure around that feel-good core, casting players as young girl Alba as she whiles away the summer on the sprawling Mediterranean island of Pinar del Mar, her best friend Ines in tow.
