There aren't a lot of puzzle games that have the same artistic expression as Viewfinder, which is why it won a BAFTA award last year, and soon enough you'll have more ways to play it.

That's because Thunderful and Sad Owl Studios have just announced that their first-person puzzle adventure game, Viewfinder, is coming to Xbox Series X|S on August 12 with a Nintendo Switch version following this winter.

This announcement comes as the game celebrates its second anniversary since launching on PC and PlayStation, including a brand new trailer.

What is Thunderful's Viewfinder?

If you haven't played this BAFTA and UKIE Video Game Awards 2024 winner yet, I could honestly tell you that Viewfinder might be unlike any puzzle game you've ever seen. Imagine holding a photograph in your hand, placing it in the world and then walking straight into that picture. That's the core magic of Viewfinder.

The game puts you in a first-person perspective where you can bring various photos to life that will challenge your perception of reality. Each image becomes a physical space that you can explore and creates mind-bending puzzles that will make you want to re-watch Inception or any Marvel movies...
