Wizard101 Arrives on Xbox Through New Game Preview Program
**Wizard101**, the long-running magical MMORPG, is now available on **Xbox One** and **Xbox Series X|S** consoles as part of Xbox’s new **Game Preview** program. Previously a **PC-exclusive** since its launch in 2008, the game’s surprise appearance on Xbox marks its console debut.
In **Wizard101**, players become students at **Ravenwood School of Magical Arts**, using a deck-building combat system to cast spells, battle creatures, and explore the mystical realms of the Spiral. The game features both **free-to-play content** and **paid expansions**, with optional **Crowns** (in-game currency) used for cosmetics, mounts, and additional gear.
### Xbox Game Preview Details
The Xbox version is listed as a **”work in progress”**, meaning features and content may change over time. Players can try the **free preview** now, although the full version has not yet been released. Xbox previously confirmed Wizard101 wouldn’t join **Game Pass**, making its arrival in Game Preview an unexpected bonus for fans.
### Is It the Same as PC?
The core experience appears to mirror the **PC version**, including microtransactions and optional subscriptions. However, exact content availability for Xbox has not been fully confirmed.
### What’s Next?
Wizard101 continues to enjoy a loyal player base on PC and is set to expand its universe with an upcoming prequel, **Ravenwood Academy: A Wizard101 Story**. Whether this move to consoles leads to a full release remains to be seen, but Xbox players can now explore the Spiral and see what the game has to offer.
