Mouthwashing heads to consoles on 29 October
Mouthwashing launches on PlayStation, Xbox and Switch on 29 October, while No, I’m not a Human follows on consoles in 2027.
Mouthwashing is heading to PlayStation 4, PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X|S and Nintendo Switch on 29 October 2026, according to a console announcement reported by Famitsu. The release is being presented for overseas audiences, and the announcement does not confirm a Japanese launch. Xbox Game Pass support is also planned. 1
The first-person psychological horror game follows the crew of the Tulpar, a freighter stranded in space with no realistic chance of rescue. Steam describes a ship running out of power within six months, with food supplies expected to disappear sooner. The crew must deal with starvation, isolation and one another while the situation steadily becomes more disturbing. 2
The console release
Mouthwashing originally launched on PC through Steam in September 2024. The store page identifies Wrong Organ as the developer and CRITICAL REFLEX as the publisher, and lists the game as a single-player horror adventure. Its console arrival will make the story-driven horror game available beyond PC, although the Famitsu report does not specify whether the new versions include platform-specific features or content. 12
The same report also confirms a console version of No, I’m not a Human for Xbox Series X|S, PlayStation 5 and Nintendo Switch. That game is planned for 2027, and its console editions are expected to include the updates already released for PC. It is a separate release from Mouthwashing, but the two announcements were made together. 1
Mouthwashing has built a substantial audience on Steam, where the store page records more than 34,000 user reviews and an “Overwhelmingly Positive” rating at the time of reporting. The game’s premise centres on a doomed crew and a hostile, unreliable environment rather than conventional action, making the console launch particularly relevant for players who prefer compact, narrative-led horror. 12
Our opinion
The console release makes sense for a game whose appeal is rooted in atmosphere and narrative rather than technical spectacle. Bringing Mouthwashing to PlayStation and Xbox also puts it in front of players who may have missed one of the more talked-about short horror experiences on PC. The important caveat is regional availability: the announcement was made for overseas markets, so players should check their local store before assuming the 29 October date applies to them.
