All events Players around this date Read on Steam

Wanderers, for the first time since 1.0's October launch, another abandoned M.E.G facility has been located, leading into a children's hospital conjoined with... Bruce’s Ball Pit?

Push through the endless polymer of Level 421 and escape into Overgrowth when the Plastic Mariana level no-clips onto all platforms on August 27th.

Some of you keen-eared folks may have noticed a new rendition of Ins0mics iconic main backrooms motif. We’ve worked together with the incredible Norwegian Producer and DJ, Vairo, to create a terrifying song aptly named “Wanderer.” A big thank you to Vairo for producing this song for us, and to Ins0mic for allowing us to recreate and use the motif.

You can find the full Wanderer song on Vairo’s Spotify and YouTube.

Alongside the introduction of the Plastic Mariana, we will be squashing more bugs, including eliminating softlocks on Nintendo Switch 2 and fixing some multiplayer connectivity issues.

We can’t wait for you all to explore Level 421 next week, and believe us... This is only the beginning.

Escape the Backrooms is now available on Xbox Series X|S, PC and Xbox Game Pass, PlayStation 5, and Nintendo Switch 2. Who will you be no-clipping into Level 421 alongside? Let us know over on our Discord and TikTok account.
