SOMA Launches for Xbox One, PC

From the creators of the critically acclaimed Amnesia series, SOMA is available today for Xbox One with the addition of “Safe Mode.” Also on PC, the optional Safe Mode lets players sink into the story and atmosphere of SOMA while staying protected from harm.

Isolated within the ocean’s depths, chaos has overtaken the PATHOS-II facility. Twisted creatures and corrupted robots strain the boundaries of human identity as you seek to uncover the truth, locate the last remaining inhabitants, and take part in the events that will ultimately shape the fate of the station.

With the addition of Safe Mode, players can choose to immerse themselves in the story while staying free from harm, or to leave all dangers enabled for the original SOMA experience. Just remember. There is no fighting back. Either you outsmart your enemies or you get ready to run.

SOMA is available today on Xbox One with Safe Mode. The new mode is also available for PC, and will come to PS4 at a later date.
