Get ready for precise, fast-paced action, ever-evolving challenges, and a dash of mystery. Section 13 is now live on Xbox Series X|S!

A World of Secrets

What exactly turned a top-tier facility into a paranormal creature-infested zoo? Section 13’s story takes inspiration from SCP-style lore, immersing you in a world of classified experiments, scientific anomalies, and monstrous boss creatures lurking in the depths. Playing as different S2P agents, you’ll not only uncover what happened to Section 13 but also piece together fragments of each character’s past, their connection to the facility, and the ties that bind them together.

Precision Combat Meets Roguelite Mayhem

At its core, Section 13 is all about precise twin-stick controls and fast, responsive combat. The action is quick and chaotic, rewarding sharp reflexes and strategic positioning.

Thanks to procedurally generated map layouts and randomized encounters, no two sessions play out the same way. And when you inevitably fall? Embrace death as an opportunity. Every failure in Section 13 helps to build up permanent rewards such as new weapons, upgrades, and more that make your next run even stronger.

Stay in the Light, Stay in Control

With the facility’s power offline and lighting scarce, the Fear System introduces a new kind of threat: your own panic.

Darkness isn’t just an aesthetic choice in Section 13—it’s a mechanic. Stay in the darkness too long, and you’ll enter a state of panic and accuracy takes a hit as your vision distorts, heart thumps louder, and the walls seem to close in. That’s not all, of course. You also take more damage, reload slower, and can’t regain HP.

To shake off the panic, find a strong light source—not some flickering flashlight, but something bright enough to make your interior designer wince. Step into the glow and get back in control.

Co-Op Mode: Team Up, Watch Your Fire

Fighting through Section 13 alone is thrilling—but bringing a friend (or two) kicks up the action to another level. Teammates boost your firepower but co-op mode plays differently from solo mode, so you’ll need to think twice before spraying bullets.

Online co-op is on the way, with couch co-op to follow. Here are some key  changes you’ll be able to find in the updates:

• All characters will be unlocked from the get-go.
• Friendly fire and ammo limits will be toggleable.
• Enemies will be even tougher!
• Key resources such as Medkits won’t be shared—anyone can grab them.
• No narrative progression will be unlocked.

Whether you’re here for action or the intrigue, there’s always something waiting to be discovered.

Are you ready to face the darkness and uncover the secrets of Section 13?
