Clive Barker’s Hellraiser: Revival launched on October 8, 2026, on PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X|S, Nintendo Switch 2 and Steam. IXBT Games reported that the PC version shipped without Denuvo anti-piracy technology and was cracked quickly. That claim rests on IXBT’s report and has not been independently confirmed. On Steam, SteamDB’s charts page recorded an all-time peak of 8,317 concurrent players dated October 8, 2026. That figure counts players online at one moment on Steam. It is not a sales number.

Release details and platforms

Saber Interactive’s official support FAQ describes the game this way: “Clive Barker’s Hellraiser: Revival is a single-player first-person action horror survival game.” The FAQ gives October 8, 2026 as the release date. SteamDB lists Saber Interactive as developer and publisher of the Steam version, with the same release date.

Platform Format Notes
PlayStation 5 Physical disc Confirmed by Saber Interactive’s FAQ.
Xbox Series X|S Physical disc Confirmed by Saber Interactive’s FAQ.
Nintendo Switch 2 Game-key card edition Retail physical availability is scheduled for later, according to Saber Interactive.
Steam (PC) Digital Released October 8, 2026; SteamDB lists the release date and Saber as publisher.

The crack report

IXBT Games published a release-day report by Boris Piletskiy on October 8, 2026. It said the PC release launched without Denuvo and was cracked quickly. The report does not establish a precise time for the crack. At publication, we have not found a separate confirmation of the crack or its timing from Saber Interactive, SteamDB or another outlet, so the claim should be read as IXBT’s reporting.

IXBT’s report also makes two further claims that rest on it alone:

#1 Best Overall
Clive Barker's Hellraiser: Revival - PlayStation 5
  • A New Story in Hellraiser's Canon – Unwittingly kickstart Pinhead’s ritual to unleash greater pain and pleasure than ever before.
  • Harness the Power of the Box – Combine the unique, hellish abilities of the Configuration with an arsenal of earthly weapons to inflict bone-breaking, flesh-searing pain - or is it pleasure? - upon masochistic enemies.
  • Fight Against Unholy Enemies – Take on hell's wretches, deviants, cultists, and even its most infernal priests in a story-driven horror survival game.
  • It said the game ranked second among Saber-published titles by online players. The report does not identify the titles compared or how the ranking was measured, so that ranking is not repeated here as fact.
  • It said concurrent Steam players exceeded 6,000. That is lower than the SteamDB peak discussed below, and the report does not say when its figure was taken.

What the Steam numbers show

SteamDB’s Hellraiser: Revival charts page recorded an all-time peak of 8,317 concurrent players on October 8, 2026. Concurrent players is a count of accounts in the game at one moment, so a peak is the highest such count the chart has recorded. The chart is live and updates over time, so the figure above is tied to its date.

Figure Source Date What it measures
Above 6,000 concurrent players IXBT Games report Reported October 8, 2026 Steam concurrent players, as stated by IXBT. Measurement time not stated.
8,317 concurrent players SteamDB charts page All-time peak dated October 8, 2026 Steam concurrent-player peak on the page as retrieved. Live figure; may have changed.

Concurrent players are not sales

A concurrent-player peak says nothing about how many copies were sold or how many people downloaded the game. It also does not show how many of those players were on pirated copies. No sales figure and no verified download count has been published for this release in the sources we checked, so neither can be inferred from the Steam chart.

Game details

  • Story: IXBT names Aidan as the protagonist, who is trying to save Sunny from the Labyrinth.
  • Length: Saber estimates an 8 to 12 hour playthrough, depending on playstyle.
  • Connectivity: Saber says no internet connection is required to play.
  • Post-launch content: Saber says it has no plans for future DLC or content updates, while anticipating possible post-launch patches.

Streaming and video guidance

Saber’s FAQ says streaming and video creation are allowed and encouraged. It asks creators to enable 18+ age restrictions and to add a sexual-themes label where the platform supports one. The FAQ also says the game has no streamer mode.

Where to buy and what to check

Choose by platform and format. PS5 and Xbox Series X|S buyers are looking for a physical disc, Steam buyers for a digital copy, and Switch 2 buyers for a game-key card. A Heureka.sk listing confirms that a PS5 Day One Edition exists. Retailer stock, regional availability and prices change, so verify the edition, region and price at the point of purchase.
