August 15th, 2025 | The challenging platformer Diamond Hands: To The Moon is now launching on Xbox Series X|S.

The title previously launched on PC and Nintendo Switch.

A Retro-Style Platformer That Demands Precision

Diamond Hands: To The Moon is a hardcore pixel art platformer where your goal is simple—get to the moon. But reaching that goal takes precision, patience, and skill. The gameplay draws inspiration from titles like Jump King, focusing on jump timing and perfect execution.

Progress comes from landing well-calculated jumps to reach ever-higher platforms. One wrong move can send you plummeting back to the beginning of the level. Every jump counts.

The game includes 10 diverse and challenging levels that parody themes from the financial world with a humorous twist.

In addition to solo play, Diamond Hands: To The Moon also supports a local two-player co-op mode for shared frustration or teamwork.

Key Features:

• Hardcore retro-style platformer
• Addictive and skill-based gameplay
• 2D pixel art visuals
• Humorous parody of financial markets
• Local 2-player co-op mode

The Xbox Series X|S release of Diamond Hands: To The Moon is scheduled for August 14, 2025.
