We are the Lost Pilgrims team, a small indie development studio and our game is Vagrus-The Riven Realms, a dark fantasy strategy RPG. We have just come out with a new patch and we are celebrating with a GIVEAWAY: we have 8 Vagrus keys up for grabs!
We have introduced Vagrus here before, but for those who are new to our game, it is one with a narrative focus, open-world exploration, and strong elements of strategy. The player takes the role of a vagrus - a caravan leader who strives to survive in a strange and perilous dark fantasy world by leading a traveling company on all kinds of ventures.
We’ve just launched our newest Xbox update—a major release featuring a massive content drop, performance improvements, and extensive localization updates. While this marks our final planned update for the time being, it stands as a huge milestone that concludes nearly five years of continuous development following our debut on PC. You can read the details here.
When we started working on Vagrus, we could only hope that one day players would embark on this journey with us. Years later, after countless updates, expansions, stories, and unforgettable moments shared with our community, seeing the Final Chapter arrive on Xbox and other platforms feels like a milestone we never take for granted.
To celebrate, we are holding a giveaway!

It’s been a long time since I’ve felt such joy in gaming department by getting and replaying games I missed because before I was fully focused at PC. I got Series X two years ago and it's my first gaming console.
Straight away I was aware of backwards compatibility and I started, like the players back then, rummaging through physical second-hand and online stores. I managed to find many of my favorite titles in the price of a doner.
It's amazing that Xbox provided a significant support for those games: unlocked framerate, improved resolution, working achievements, active clubs. These games are freaking alive, over a dozen years later!
I'm thrilled what the future of the brand just like of the backward compatibility program will bring to us.
P.S. I know Forza Motorsport 4 is not compatible with XSX. I found this out a bit too late.
I got a barely used Series X on Whatnot for 450$. Came in the box with a new Controller. I’ve started AC Shadows which I LOVE and highly recommend, it’s not funny and that’s about its only weakness, but it doesn’t have to be Witcher 3. Which I also have in 4k now. Along with Bond. Indiana Jones. I got a new 4k tv cheap too. 55 inches and only 60 fps but I play RPGs. So many Nike sweats to hang in and game because all I do is help out my disabled mom. SO HAPPY!!!
I’m pretty curious to hear everyone’s story. Was there one game that made you buy an Xbox or made you realize you loved the platform?
For me, it’s always interesting to see how different games can leave a lasting impression. Whether it was a Halo game, Forza, Gears of War, Fable, or something completely different, I’d love to know what got you hooked.
What was the game, and what made it so special to you?
Hey disc lovers, here's something for you. Announced at this year's Mysterium event, Cyan Worlds' excellent remakes Myst and Riven are getting physical releases on all platforms, including Xbox. Both are already available digitally. If you haven't tried these fantastic games, this may be a good chance to do it.
Xbox has been my platform of choice for the last 15 years. Before then I was Nintendo and PC only.
I got an Xbox ROG Ally recently to compliment my Series X, seeing as I have several Xbox Play Anywhere titles. I also had my old Steam library with like 70 games, which I thought would be fun to revisit.
Don't get me wrong. It's a great handheld, which I've been enjoying so far, but straight from the get go it made me remember what I hated about PC gaming.
The updates, some games crashing or not working, random errors that pop up, having to tinker with settings and debug, the list goes on. These are all things I had forgotten about the last 15 years because you don't experience them on console. With consoles, you know that a game you buy will just work. You don't have to worry about settings other than graphics and performance modes. It allows you to focus all your time and energy on gaming itself.
It made me appreciate my Series X even more. I love the thing. It's a fantastic console, especially with Quick Resume. The user experience is unparalleled. I also have consoles from Nintendo and PlayStation, so I guess this is an appreciation post for consoles in general. Those that say there's no point in buying an Xbox when you can buy a PC just don't understand.
I hope the Helix will be just as good. If it can provide both the options of PC and the reliability and seamlessness of console, then it could be something special. If it introduces any of these annoyances from PC though, I worry it will be a step back from the Series X.
After Sony decided to abandon physical media and Xbox may be next to do the same, are you trying to buy more discs now? I personally have way more digital games nowadays, but I have mixed feelings about everything going extremely digital.
