Create your pot, grab your friends, and join a team of colorful spirits who face off against one another in online arenas, where the ceramic creations you sculpt on a pottery wheel become the bodies you bring into battle.

Grab your friends to assemble a team of colorful spirits, then sculpt ceramic battle armor on a pottery wheel. The size and shape of your pots determine their play-style and abilities—work together to douse the enemy's kiln!

Kiln is a pottery power-fantasy that celebrates both Creativity and Destruction: the pleasure that comes from both making beautiful things, and then smashing those things to smithereens. Create your pot, grab your friends, and join a team of colorful spirits who face off against one another in online arenas, where the ceramic creations you sculpt on a pottery wheel become the bodies you bring into battle.

The shape of your pots affect your attributes and your play-style. Will you be big, or small? Wide, or tall? Will you make a plate, a jug, a cup or a bowl?

Double Fine unveiled that Kiln will launch on April 23 across Xbox Series X|S, Xbox on PC, Xbox Cloud Gaming, Xbox Play Anywhere, Handheld Optimized, PS5, Steam, and with Xbox Game Pass Ultimate.

Players won’t have to wait too long to get hands-on with Kiln. You can sign up now for a chance to participate in closed playtests pre-launch, with an open beta on Steam April 9-11. We’ll have more to share on the open beta in the coming weeks.

“As an online pottery party brawler, we know we need some hands-on time with players of all kinds—and a lot of them!

We’re taking this open beta as an opportunity to not only test out our servers, but to see what resonates with players and what the Kiln team should be prioritizing next. We have a lot of possibilities with a game like Kiln—more customization, more maps, more modes—and, as much as we want to add everything we can to the game, we want to see what you, the players want the most.

So your playtesting, your feedback, and your reactions are going to be the most important things for us as we head into launch!

And then, once you’ve had a taste for the fun, we hope to see you all on launch day, April 23! We’re so excited to see what people build and how they play!”

Pre-orders will be available at open beta for both the standard ($19.99) and Fired Up ($29.99) editions. The Fired Up edition includes the base game as well as premium glazes, stickers, attachments, custom pots, and bonus chips (customization-unlocking currency that can only be earned through playing the game). 

There are a multitude of different sizes and combinations to discover, each with unique abilities and attacks, along with new and surprising ways to play. Work together to find the best combination of pots and play-styles to break through enemy lines, and collect enough water to douse the flames of the enemy’s kiln — Does your team have what it takes to shape and smash your way to victory? As the battlefield becomes strewn with the shattered fragments of friend and foes alike, your brawling skills and some great teamwork will be required to assure victory.

After the battle is won, head to The Wedge to practice your pottery prowess, decorate your pots to make them yours, then share your creations with others (and admire their handiwork, too).

Create and Destroy Together - Making pots and breaking pots are both better with friends. Hang out, experiment with clay and share what you make, or jump right into multiplayer battles and start swinging!

Become a Master Potter– Manipulate realistic clay to craft and decorate in an immersive pottery wheel experience featuring a variety of tools and techniques.

Kiln is coming to Xbox Series X|S, Xbox Cloud Gaming/Xbox Play Anywhere/Xbox Game Pass Ultimate, Handheld Optimized, PC (Steam) and PS5 on April 23, 2026.
