SQUARE ENIX USA Life is Strange: Before The Storm Standard Edition xbox one video game

Narrative adventure for Xbox One players

Life is Strange: Before the Storm is a three-part standalone adventure set three years before the original BAFTA award-winning game. You play as sixteen-year-old Chloe Price who forms an unlikely friendship with Rachel Amber. The story explores their bond as they confront personal demons and family secrets together. Your decisions shape the narrative across multiple endings.

Retail packaging with choice-driven gameplay

The standard edition arrives in retail packaging for Xbox One with an ESRB Mature rating. Gameplay centres on a choice and consequence system where every decision influences the story outcome. A unique Backtalk mechanic lets Chloe use sharp dialogue to manipulate conversations through a risk-reward dynamic. Players can also customise Chloe's appearance with different outfits that change how characters react, while leaving witty graffiti tags throughout the world.

Prequel entry for franchise newcomers and fans

This standalone prequel requires no prior experience with the first Life is Strange title, making it an accessible entry point for new players. Veterans of the series gain deeper context for Chloe's backstory and her relationship with Rachel Amber. The game replaces traditional action mechanics with narrative exploration and dialogue choices. Buyers seeking combat-focused gameplay or multiplayer modes will not find them here.
