Barnsworth is officially open for business—and Xbox players are finally invited to experience its oddest, funniest, and most wonderfully inappropriate corners. The award-winning comedy adventure Thank Goodness You’re Here! is now available on Xbox Series X|S, bringing its sharp British humor, stellar voice cast, and unforgettable slapformer antics to a whole new audience.
Already celebrated across the industry, the game arrives on Xbox for $19.99 USD, launching with a limited 20% discount and full support for Xbox Play Anywhere, making it playable on both Xbox and Windows PC with a single purchase.
A BAFTA-Winning Adventure Full of Unhinged British Humor
Developed by Coal Supper and published by Panic, Thank Goodness You’re Here! has already made waves on the awards circuit. The game earned seven nominations at the 2025 BAFTA Games Awards, ultimately taking home the coveted Best British Game honor. It was also nominated for the Seumas McNally Grand Prize at the 2025 IGF Awards, along with multiple nods at the 2024 DICE Awards—an impressive list for a comedy adventure that proudly insists “your mum still disapproves of it.”
With a cast led by comedic legends Matt Berry and Jon Blyth, the game delivers a nonstop parade of absurdity that blends cheeky writing, double entendres, and delightfully odd scenarios inspired by Yorkshire folklore.
Explore the Strange Town of Barnsworth
Thank Goodness You’re Here! follows a traveling salesman who arrives early for an important meeting with the town’s mayor. With time to kill, he does what any respectable visitor might do: meet the locals and accept every bizarre request they throw his way.
Players will complete an escalating series of odd jobs—from baking pies to mowing grass to crossing the astral plane—each leaving a mark on Barnsworth itself. As more tasks are completed, new areas unlock, the townsfolk grow stranger, and the countdown to the salesman’s big meeting continues.
Thanks to its blend of side-scrolling vignettes, top-down exploration, and hand-drawn animation, each corner of Barnsworth feels alive, vibrant, and just a little bit wrong in the best way.
Why Xbox Players Shouldn’t Miss It
Thank Goodness You’re Here! has been praised for its impeccable comedic timing, distinct visual style, and heartfelt absurdity. The game offers:
- A richly animated world blending slapstick comedy with surreal Yorkshire-inspired storytelling
- A cast of eccentric characters with fully voiced dialogue and authentic regional dialects
- A series of increasingly elaborate tasks that reshape the town as the adventure unfolds
- An emotionally surprising soundtrack that ties the whole experience together
Reviewers note that the adventure clocks in at 2–3 hours—but its chaos, charm, and creativity leave a lasting impression.
