The Binding of Isaac: Repentance+Explainer

Release dateNew

The Binding of Isaac: Repentance+ reaches PS5, Xbox and Switch 2 on Nov. 19 with four-player online co-op

The Binding of Isaac: Repentance+, the complete edition of Edmund McMillen's roguelike with online co-op for up to four players, comes to PS5, Xbox Series X and S and Nintendo Switch 2 on Thursday, Nov. 19, 2026. Nicalis announced the console release with the date in August, and the US Nintendo eShop lists the Switch 2 version for Nov. 19 at $59.99. Expected price on PS5 and Xbox: $59.99, our estimate, the same as the Switch 2 listing and the current price of Repentance on both stores. It bundles The Binding of Isaac: Rebirth with Afterbirth, Afterbirth+, Repentance and Repentance+, so one purchase covers the whole game. Online play works in every mode, including daily runs and challenges, with friends, strangers or a random Quick Match. On PC, Repentance+ came out as a free update in November 2024. Switch 2 also gets a physical edition, up for pre-order at $69.99 on the Nicalis store. The ESRB rates it Mature, and it launches on the same day as GTA 6.

The eShop page gives the date without an unlock hour, and digital pre-orders there weren’t open when we checked on Oct. 29. The $69.99 physical edition for Switch 2 is up for pre-order on the Nicalis store. It shares the day with GTA 6, the biggest launch of the year, so our GTA 6 release date page and our new games in November 2026 calendar cover the rest of that week.

The PlayStation Store and the Microsoft Store haven’t listed Repentance+ yet. Expected price: $59.99, our estimate, matching the Switch 2 listing. Repentance, the current console edition without online co-op, also costs $59.99 on both stores.

On Steam, Rebirth costs $14.99, and Repentance+ arrived as a free update for owners of Rebirth and every earlier expansion. Nicalis hasn’t detailed an upgrade for console owners of Repentance.

Online co-op for four players

Online play is the headline. The console versions of Repentance only offer local co-op, and Repentance+ adds full online play for up to four players:

  • online play in all game modes, including daily runs, Greed mode and challenges;
  • matches with friends, open matches with strangers and a Quick Match with random players;
  • filters for hosting or joining matches;
  • new leaderboards for online play;
  • an Item Information option that reveals what previously picked-up items do.

On Switch 2, online play requires a Nintendo Switch Online membership, and the game supports cloud saves.

What’s included in Repentance+

The package is the whole game in one purchase: The Binding of Isaac: Rebirth from 2014 plus the Afterbirth, Afterbirth+, Repentance and Repentance+ expansions, with all the changes made since Repentance came out in 2021.

Isaac flees through a trapdoor into the basement after a voice from above demands the child’s sacrifice, and every run through the randomly generated depths is different. The eShop listing counts more than 700 items, 34 playable characters, more than 330 enemy types, over 120 bosses and mini-bosses, several difficulty settings and a Bestiary that records the enemies you meet.

The ESRB rates Repentance+ Mature for blood and gore, crude humor, language, use of drugs and violence. On Switch 2, the download is about 1 GB, and the game plays in TV, tabletop and handheld modes with touch screen support. The eShop lists English as its language.
