Two Decades Later, RollerCoaster Tycoon 3 Is Making Its Xbox Debut
What kept you so long?
Remember November of 2004? Xbox was celebrating its third anniversary, Halo 2 was just about to blow us all away, and a game called RollerCoaster Tycoon 3 was preparing to release for PC – ultimately proving very successful.
It’s been 21 years, but finally, we’re about to see this game on Xbox for the first time! RollerCoaster Tycoon 3: Complete Edition will be heading to Xbox One, Series X and Series S on March 20th, as well as PS4 and PS5.
This is the same version that was released for Nintendo Switch a few years ago, and our friends at Nintendo Life gave it a “Great” 8/10 score back then, describing it as a “ride fans should absolutely consider jumping aboard”.
“Rollercoaster Tycoon 3: Complete Edition brings the classic theme park building sim and all of its DLC to Switch in a generously priced package that’s hard to knock.”
Of course, a big question here is whether RollerCoaster Tycoon 3 will support mouse and keyboard on Xbox, and unfortunately we don’t have the answer to that as of yet. We’re hopeful, but it remains to be seen for now.
The pricing is good at least – pre-orders are available on the Xbox Store for just ÂŁ19.99 / $23.99, so if you fancy giving into some nostalgia, it won’t break the bank. There’s a lot of competition nowadays though – Planet Coaster, Planet Coaster 2, Park Beyond, Parkitect – we’re doing pretty well for theme park sims on Xbox in recent years!
“Control park finances, shops, services and staff to succeed in dozens of scenarios. Become a true tycoon and embark on your promising new career, or create your ideal park without money woes in sandbox mode. Satisfy your guestsâ needs and keep your park running smoothly to succeed.
This complete edition includes all content from both Soaked! and Wild! expansion packs. Relish the added challenge of creating and managing exhilarating waterparks and spectacular animal habitats.”
