Sad Socket's roguelike kingdom builder 9 Kings, published by Hooded Horse and in Early Access on Steam since May 2025, arrives in PC Game Pass on November 12, 2026 as a Game Preview, according to Xbox Wire.

9 Kings, the roguelike kingdom builder developed by Sad Socket and published by Hooded Horse, comes to PC Game Pass on Thursday, November 12, 2026. Xbox Wire's "Next Week on Xbox" roundup (November 6, 2026) lists it as "9 Kings (Game Preview)" with the PC Game Pass label, which means the game is still unfinished. No launch time has been given.

A kingdom builder built around cards and combos

You grow a capital from a village into a citadel by placing buildings, units and spells from a deck. According to the Steam page, each king starts with a different deck, and you can take cards from rival kings who attack you, then make peace or declare war depending on which units you want. Units range from knights, warlocks and wizards to imps and mushrooms.
The Steam page lists three ways to play: an async multiplayer mode against eight rival kings, a Quest Mode with rule-bending challenges, and an Endless Mode where you hold out against ever-stronger attacks.

Still in Early Access

9 Kings has been in Early Access on Steam since May 23, 2025. Xbox Wire's entry carries the usual Game Preview warning: the game "may or may not change over time or release as a final product".
