It was back in 2012 when Q.U.B.E. was first launched by Toxic Games. To celebrate its 10th anniversary, a fresh version of this brain-twisting first-person puzzler is coming this summer. Titled Q.U.B.E. 10th Anniversary, it's set to arrive on PC through Steam and the Epic Games Store, Xbox Series X/S, PlayStation 4, PlayStation 5, and Nintendo Switch.
In the original Q.U.B.E., players take control of an avatar that they need to guide across a series of levels and make their way to an exit. The avatar is equipped with special gloves, which can perform different functions on specific blocks to reach the exit.
For this new release, fans can expect refined visuals and a complete redesign of sections found in the original release and the Q.U.B.E: Director's Cut of 2014.

In a statement, Creative Director Dave Hall revealed that they built this new version from the ground up. He said that they didn’t just want to put better visuals and wanted to offer a reimagined Q.U.B.E.
