It is possible to swim in any direction, break through the surface and do a flip, explore the bottom with a headlight turned on automatically when it gets dark and so on.
Next to a separate button for acceleration, there is a short boost function with three tiers to get a short burst of extra speed.
Next to the interactive tutorial there are no prompts or HUD elements that explain goals.
The diver has an unlimited supply of air.
The diver gets to explore different self-contained areas linked together by passages.
These are all filled with different types of fish and interaction is possible by swimming through them.
There is also a type of ecosystem as some will feed off others.
The player's character cannot die and at times small environment based puzzles need to be completed to progress to the next area.
Sometimes drones can be freed that swim along.
These open up certain passages and the diver can interact with them through a sound, but this has no further function.
Optional elements include locating places where additional fish types can be freed and collecting hidden shells.
The game encourages the meditative element of the game to sit back and enjoy the environment as certain statues can be located where a meditation function can be activated.
While meditating the diver is no longer controlled, but the player moves around the camera, following and watching the fishes in the environment.
No background information is provided at the start, but the story of a civilization in the ocean is unveiled gradually through elements in the background and there is a progress system based on bringing orbs to temples.
Sometimes there are also different sections, locking the diver to a 2D plane or taking away some parts of movement and limited camera actions to swim along giant creatures, avoiding
About Xbox One
Microsoft's Xbox One launched in 2013 alongside the PS4 and leaned heavily into backwards compatibility and subscription services like Game Pass. Because so many Xbox One owners moved to all-digital libraries, physical Xbox One cartridges — sorry, discs — in good condition are comparatively less common on the secondhand market than their PlayStation equivalents from the same era.
Gamevaro tracks Abzû for Xbox One with separate market values for loose, complete-in-box (CIB) and factory-sealed copies, sourced from real eBay sales. Prices also vary by region — PAL, NTSC-U and NTSC-J releases of the same game often sell for different amounts due to print run sizes and regional collector demand.
Adding Abzû to a Gamevaro collection takes seconds — search by title or scan the box barcode, and the app fills in cover art, release details and current pricing automatically. This XONE release dates back to 2016.

Market insights
Rarity & condition
Only a handful of market sales have been tracked for Abzû, suggesting it doesn't trade hands very often — a sign of relative scarcity compared to more common Xbox One titles.
Complete-in-box (CIB) copies typically command a premium over loose cartridges/discs because the original box and manual are more fragile and get discarded or damaged over time — fewer complete sets survive.
