Gundam Rogue Orbit releases March 5, 2027 for PS5, Xbox Series X|S and PC through Steam. It supports both single-player and online co-op, with the Xbox store listing 2–3 players for online co-op. The US prices are $59.99 for Standard and $79.99 for Deluxe, while Bandai Namco has not published a Collector’s Edition price.
Bandai Namco announced the date during the September State of Play Japan and opened preorders alongside a new trailer. The game introduces a separate Gundam timeline, ace pilot RE-X, the Gundam Helix and a machine invasion called Apocalypse. Here is what the official publisher and store listings confirm—and what remains unannounced.

When is the Gundam Rogue Orbit release date?
Bandai Namco’s official release date is March 5, 2027. The publisher lists the same day for PS5, Xbox Series X|S and Steam, and the Xbox product page also displays March 5.
Steam’s US storefront currently shows March 4, 2027. That is the date visible on that storefront, but Bandai Namco’s global announcement remains March 5. It does not represent a separate edition or an announced early-access period.
No preload schedule, regional launch-time map or paid early-access window has been announced. The safest planning date is therefore March 5 unless a player’s storefront displays a local unlock on March 4.
Which platforms is Gundam Rogue Orbit on?
Gundam Rogue Orbit is coming to PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X|S and Windows PC through Steam. The official materials do not announce PlayStation 4, Xbox One, Nintendo Switch, Nintendo Switch 2, Epic Games Store or Microsoft Store PC versions.
The Xbox listing advertises 4K Ultra HD, HDR10, 60 fps or higher, Dolby Atmos and DTS:X. Those are Xbox storefront capabilities, not a promise that every feature or performance target will be identical on PS5 and PC.
Is Gundam Rogue Orbit single-player or co-op?
It has both modes. Steam lists single-player, multiplayer, co-op and online co-op, while Xbox gives the clearest player count: online co-op for 2–3 players. A solo player can therefore play without needing a partner, and an online group can include two or three people.
Neither official store lists local or split-screen co-op. Bandai Namco also has not explained whether every story mission supports co-op, how progress is shared, whether matchmaking is available or whether PS5, Xbox and Steam players can join one another. Cross-play and cross-save should be treated as unconfirmed.
Gundam Rogue Orbit official screenshots
4 screenshotsWhat is Gundam Rogue Orbit about?
Rogue Orbit takes place in a new timeline rather than asking players to know a previous Gundam continuity. Ace pilot RE-X and the support unit Vii travel in the Gundam Helix while humanity faces Apocalypse, machine lifeforms that appeared in an era when people had begun settling distant worlds.
The release announcement also names Sofia, Stellarvane captain April, Big Paul and Elaine. Bandai Namco describes the game as narrative-driven, but it has not published a mission count, campaign length or complete cast list.

How combat and Gundam customization work
Gundam Helix can fight on the ground and in the air. The new trailer shows additional weapon types and Tactical Skills, while the official screenshots include large Apocalypse creatures, mobile-suit duels and movement through space installations.
Customization changes more than color. Players can combine weapons, frames, thrusters, parts and Tactical Skills. Apocalypse Units, labeled AP-U in the interface, provide another equipment layer. Parts can affect movement and combat behavior, while color settings and MOD Skins change appearance.
Bandai Namco has not yet detailed difficulty settings, endgame structure, loot rarity, respec costs or the exact relationship between solo and co-op progression. The MS Settings screen confirms the categories, but not the final balance.
Gundam Rogue Orbit editions explained
Standard Edition — $59.99
The digital Standard Edition includes the base game. The same $59.99 US price appears on the Steam and Xbox stores.
Launch Edition
Bandai Namco’s physical Launch Edition includes a reversible cover, an 11-by-17-inch poster and a Gundam Card Game promo card. Regional retailer availability may differ.
Deluxe Edition — $79.99
The Deluxe Edition includes the base game, a Premium MOD Skins Set, a 14-color set, a digital art and music bundle and a Mission Reward Booster. Steam and Xbox list it at $79.99 in the US.
Collector’s Edition — price not announced
The Collector’s Edition combines the Launch and Deluxe contents with a steel case, an HG 1/144 ARK-10 Gundam Helix Earth Blue model kit and five Gundam Card Game promo cards. Bandai Namco’s announcement does not publish a price, so retailer placeholders should not be treated as official.
What is the Gundam Rogue Orbit preorder bonus?
Preorders include early access to the Earth Blue color for Gundam Helix. The wording describes a cosmetic color unlock, not early access to the game itself. Bandai Namco has not announced preorder-only missions, characters or a playable beta.
Players comparing editions should separate physical collectibles from digital extras. The Launch and Collector’s Editions add tangible items; the Deluxe package adds MOD Skins, colors, digital art and music, and a reward booster.
What is still unconfirmed?
Bandai Namco has not confirmed cross-play, cross-progression, local co-op, a preload time, exact regional unlock times, PC system requirements, a demo, a beta, subscription availability or the Collector’s Edition price.
The game has a firm date and enough store metadata to answer the basic buying questions, but those connectivity and technical details still need explicit publisher or platform confirmation.
