Developer Sloclap announced that the Sifu action game will be heading to both Xbox and Steam in March 2023, as well as the Game Pass subscription service. In addition to that, a colossal free update that includes a challenging new Arenas mode and more will be released on that same date. Just like the PlayStation and Epic Game Store versions, the game will cost USD$39.99 for the base game and US$49.99 for the Deluxe Edition.
In Sifu, players can uncover an ancient mystery via a series of difficult confrontations that test the limit of their skills. To overcome seemingly insurmountable odds, fighters need to rely on their mastery of Kung Fu and a magical pendant that revives them after death. The cost of magic is dear, however, and drastically ages a fighter with each revival: time is the price paid for revenge.

The new Arenas mode will sport nine stylish new maps, each featuring exclusive new challenges of varying difficulty levels.
Successfully completing the arenas will progressively unlock a massive new modifiers batch, which doubles the current game’s amount and notably brings alternative moves to the Kung-Fu palette of our main character. Completing the new Arenas challenges will also unlock new cheats and exclusive new outfits.
▍Sifu Gameplay
Choose to play as a male or a female character as you ponder that question on your path to revenge, hunting down your family’s assassins. One against all, you have no allies, countless enemies, and a mysterious amulet to bring you back to life every time you die. Yet, be warned! Your secret weapon comes with a hefty price to pay: aging and its consequences.
Your enemies don’t wait their turn, and they don’t broadcast their intent. Dodge, parry, strike, use combos and be like water making its way through captivating environments. Learn how to master your art, whether by fighting through the underbelly of a nightclub, scrambling through a refined gallery to avoid getting surrounded, or vertically navigating a towering office building.
Learn from your errors, unlock unique skills, and find the strength to master the devastating techniques of Pak Mei Kung Fu. Careful positioning and clever use of the environment to your advantage are key to your survival. Use everything at your disposal: throwable objects, makeshift weapons, windows, and ledges, it’s a battle for survival!
