Co-Op Puzzler How 2 Escape: Lost Submarine Announces June 24th Release Date

Maximum Entertainment and Breakfirst Games have officially announced the release date for their upcoming co-op puzzle game How 2 Escape: Lost Submarine. The latest installment in the How 2 Escape franchise will launch on June 24, 2025, for PC, Nintendo Switch, Xbox One, Xbox Series X|S, PlayStation 4, and PlayStation 5.

In our original coverage back in March, we explored the game’s innovative dual-device setup that challenges two players to work together across platforms. Now, fans eager to dive into the action don’t have to wait—a free demo is available now on Steam, PlayStation, and Nintendo Switch.

How 2 Escape: Lost Submarine continues the series’ escape room-inspired gameplay, placing one player inside a high-stakes scenario aboard a submarine, while their partner uses the How 2 Escape: Lost Submarine Companion App (available on PC, iOS, and Android) to relay vital clues and assist with puzzle-solving. This cross-device collaboration is key to stopping an impending global disaster.

In addition to the demo, players can wishlist the game now on Steam and consoles, and a 20% off preorder discount will go live next week on Steam, Xbox, and Nintendo Switch.
