Today we've got some great news! APICO, the wonderful pixel-art beekeeping Sim from TNgineers, is now available on Xbox Series S|X.
Whether you're looking for relaxing music and art, a deep but not overly complicated crafting system, or are looking to explore and gather resources for a game that combines biology, beekeeping, plants and a special mix of fantasy, APICO has it all! We are so proud to be bringing APICO to Xbox and hope you will enjoy it as well!
Watch the APICO Xbox launch trailer below:
APICO combines resource gathering, biology, and minigames with ideas from both real-life and fantasy beekeeping and gardening, as it teaches players about the ins and outs of maintaining a healthy hive and the importance of our irreplaceable pollinating pals. The islands of APICO were once abuzz with different species of bees, and it’s up to players to rediscover lost species, cross-breed new ones, and repopulate each unique bee-ome. Progressing further into the game may also uncover some forgotten secrets.
As well, a portion of the games’ profits goes toward bee conservation. Full details about these efforts can be found here: https://apico.buzz/savethebees.

Play together with up to four in online co-op, with cross-play available on all platforms!
