Check it out on Xbox store here

If you’ve been waiting for your chance to experience the most customisable digital Talisman experience ever on the big screen, now you can! Whether you want to grab some controllers and turn your friends into toads or form an all-new Alliance, this is the definitive Talisman experience for you.

Not only is the base game now available on Xbox, but all of the DLC content we’ve released so far is also available for purchase too!

What is Talisman: Digital 5th Edition?

In Talisman, players take on the role of bold and brave adventurers, tasked with reaching the Crown of Command in order to win the game. Along the way they’ll face deadly enemies, meet mysterious strangers and experience a fantasy adventure unlike anything else. Back in 1983, Games Workshop first released the Talisman board game, and it went on to be a smash hit, with numerous editions being released over the years, with the latest edition being the 5th Edition - which this digital version is an adaptation of.

In Talisman: Digital 5th Edition, our team here at Nomad Games have taken everything we’ve learned over the last 11 years of working on Talisman: Digital Classic Edition (which has sold over 1 million copies, by the way!) and applied it to this new game. Some of the exciting new features exclusive to Digital 5th Edition include:

  • The Deck Editor - Allowing players to customise their Talisman experience like never before, the all-new Deck Editor allows you to add and remove any cards in the game. Amp up the chaos or remove cards you don’t want to see!

  • Remastered Classic Expansions - With both The Frostmarch and The Reaper already available, we’re bringing your favourite 4th Edition expansions into the next generation with style. And if you own the remastered expansion already, you get the new version at no additional cost!

  • An All-New Look - Beyond the fresh new look that 5th Edition has given to the game with all the beautiful artwork you can find in the game, we’ve also now fully modelled each character to represent their real-life figures too!

Why should I play it on console?

There are a whole heap of reasons to grab Talisman: Digital 5th Edition on Xbox!

  • Adventure from your Couch - Whether you’re trying the new co-op Alliances: Fate Beckons expansion together or fighting for the Crown of Command between you, playing Talisman together in your living room has never been better.

  • Optimised for Controller - The UI and controller experience in Talisman: Digital 5th Edition has been designed from the ground up to feel natural on a gamepad. No virtual cursors or clunky controls here - just smooth navigation.

  • The Big Screen Experience - With all new effects on spells and items, along with the beautiful card art from the physical game rendered in 3D, this is a Talisman experience you’ll want to see on the big screen.

Talisman: Digital 5th Edition - Xbox Launch FAQ


Does Talisman on Xbox support cross-play?

We know many of you have asked about cross-play and cross-save functionality with the PC version of Talisman: Digital 5th Edition. For the launch of Talisman: Digital 5th Edition on console, we wanted to clarify exactly how your journey begins.

To ensure the most stable and optimized experience for our console players at launch, cross-play and cross-save with the PC version of Talisman: Digital 5th Edition will not be available. When you step onto the board on Xbox, you will be entering a fresh realm dedicated specifically to console adventurers.

This will also be the case for the upcoming PlayStation release of Talisman: Digital 5th Edition too.

Can I sync across my previous Talisman purchases?

We’re pleased to confirm that we have enabled full purchase syncing within your console family!

If you previously purchased any expansions or characters for Talisman: Digital Classic Edition on any Xbox platform, you will automatically be granted access to the remastered versions of that content in Talisman: Digital 5th Edition.

As long as you’re logged in with the Microsoft account you used to purchase the original version of the content, you’ll be able to add the remastered content to your account at no additional cost.

What expansions are available already?

We’re launching on both Xbox and PlayStation with all of the content currently available on PC, which means that you can play the following expansions and content as part of your Talisman: Digital 5th Edition experience:

  • The all-new co-op Alliances: Fate Beckons expansion, exclusive to 5th Edition.

  • Both The Frostmarch Classic and The Reaper Classic expansions, two remastered 4th Edition expansions from the previous digital version of Talisman. (Unlocked at no additional cost if you own the original expansions, by the way!)

  • Three remastered characters with The Jester, The Ranger and The Swordsman. If you already own these characters in Talisman: Digital Edition, unlock them in Digital 5th Edition at no additional cost too!

  • Two digital-exclusive characters, The Druid and The Minstrel who were originally part of the 4th Edition character roster, who return to 5th Edition only through Talisman: Digital 5th Edition.

We’re super excited to welcome Xbox players into the 5th Edition of Talisman, and we appreciate your patience if you’re waiting to jump in on PlayStation! 

When will the PlayStation version launch?

For those waiting for the PlayStation 4 or 5 version of Talisman: Digital 5th Edition, we’re pleased to confirm you won’t have to wait long now. We’re planning on releasing Talisman: Digital 5th Edition onto the PlayStation store on January 14th.
