Platform & Release Date Announcement

The Stanley Parable: Ultra Deluxe, the expanded re-imagining of the critically acclaimed, award winning indie game The Stanley Parable is out now Steam, Nintendo Switch, PS4, PS5, Xbox One and Xbox Series X|S on April 27, 2022!

The Stanley Parable: Ultra Deluxe dramatically expands the world of the original game with new content, new choices, and new secrets for you to uncover.

You will play as Stanley, and you will not play as Stanley. You will make a choice, and you will have your choices taken from you. The game will end, the game will never end. Contradiction follows contradiction, the rules of how games should work are broken, then broken again. You are not here to win. The Stanley Parable is a game that plays you.

In The Stanley Parable: Ultra Deluxe, everything you remember has been recreated, yet it's different somehow. We've been here before, haven't we? Is Stanley still the same as he was back then? Or is it you who has changed?

Development Information

→ The Stanley Parable: Ultra Deluxe is being made by both the original creators of The Stanley Parable and Crows Crows Crows. Davey Wreden (Writer / Creator), William Pugh (Designer / Director) and Kevan Brighting (The Narrator) have all returned for the entire development process.

→ Crows Crows Crows (Dr Langeskov / Accounting+ / The Club), an independent studio (co-founded by William Pugh & Dominik Johann) are developing and publishing The Stanley Parable: Ultra Deluxe, with Dominik Johann (MINIT) and Tom Schley (Accounting+) lending their creative voices to the project.

→ Announced during The Game Awards in 2018 for launch in 2019, The Stanley Parable: Ultra Deluxe has been delayed three separate times in order to both ensure the quality of the finished game and also to further expand the scope.

→ “Early in development, the plan was just to bring The Stanley Parable to consoles with a few small tweaks, but as time went on we kept getting more and more excited about what else we could do with the game. We learned what we wanted it to be as we were making it.“ - “Since The Stanley Parable was a game about surprises, we've tried to implement new content in ways that players won't be expecting.”

→ More news and updates will be coming over the following weeks as we approach launch, if you are interested please subscribe to our mailing list in order to hear about it!

Awards & Recognition

• "It’s not the fact that The Stanley Parable makes you think about the nature of choice in games that makes it extraordinary. It’s the fact that it does so while simultaneously managing to be a wildly entertaining, hilarious, and surprising experience."
  9/10 – Gamespot
• "It’s this bouncing between serious tone and irreverence that makes The Stanley Parable so special. You never know what to expect..."
  10/10 – Joystiq
• "Where so many games that aspire to be more than games end up less than any form of art, Stanley Parable strives, and then succeeds."
  10/10 – Destructoid
• "Astoundingly labyrinthine onion-like layers of narrative tangents the player can embark on in what feels like the unholy interactive offspring of Inception, Being John Malkovich and Portal..."
  – Eurogamer
