El juego fue bien recibido, y los revisores alabaron las diversas características del juego, en particular el aspecto cooperativo multijugador. A pesar de esto, se encontró con un éxito financiero limitado, que se ha atribuido a su esquema de control único que consiste en girar el joystick para convertir el personaje del jugador. Xybots fue portado a varias computadoras personales y la consola mano Atari Lynx. Las versiones para Nintendo Entertainment System y Sega Genesis/Mega Drive fueron anunciadas, pero nunca lanzadas. Las versiones emuladas del juego de arcade se lanzaron más tarde como parte de varias compilaciones, comenzando con Midway Arcade Treasures 2 en 2004. (es)
