A Fresh Experience Awaits in Bee Simulator: The Hive
Bee Simulator: The Hive spreads its wings on PS4, PS5, Nintendo Switch, and Xbox Series X/S as Untold Tales and VARSAV Game Studios bring the expanded edition to consoles. This version bundles the original 2019 release with The Hive. It is a substantial add-on that enriches the experience with new features, fresh systems, and a renewed sense of scale.
The expansion’s centerpiece is the ability to design and grow your own thriving colony. Players gather materials across the map, establish outposts, and unlock a range of structures that slowly transform a simple nest into a bustling home for the entire swarm.
The single-player adventure follows a young worker bee tasked with protecting the hive from a rising threat. The journey carries you across a lively world inspired by New York’s Central Park. Here, ponds, picnic areas, funfairs, and even a zoo form a colorful backdrop. Every corner hides something to discover, from tiny secrets to playful interactions with people, animals, plants, and fellow insects.
The Hive also enriches the game with a set of activities that keep the pace light and energetic. Players dart through wind trails, gather pollen, perform intricate dances, fend off wasps, and take on a wide mix of challenges that blend exploration with quick bursts of action.
A split-screen mode supports up to four players, offering custom co-op and competitive maps suited for friends and families. Furthermore, the experience is wrapped in a calm, atmospheric soundtrack by Mikołaj Stroiński, known for his work on The Witcher 3 and The Vanishing of Ethan Carter, adding a warm sense of serenity as the adventure unfolds.
