Price & Editions
Prices shown here are from the US storefronts and are quoted in US dollars. Prices in other regions may differ.
Checked 13 September 2026. Standard edition is $24.99 on Steam, PlayStation Store and the US eShop. The Xbox storefront shows $24.99+. The “+” is the storefront’s original mark for in-app purchases — not a starting price or an extra unexplained fee. The launch discount has ended.
Checked 27 October 2026 on the Steam US store only: the standard edition was still $24.99, discount 0. The Steam Autumn Sale (20% off through 8 October 2026) had ended. The Cozy Getaway Bundle, announced 26 October 2026, is a separate 10% bundle of Lou's Lagoon and Under Canopies, not a cut to the standalone price. PlayStation Store, Xbox ($24.99+) and the US eShop were last checked 13 September 2026.
Steam Deluxe Pack is $4.99 (Lifeguard skin, Bubblefan Engine, 8 bubble-themed beachside furniture pieces). Digital Artbook $5.99 (56 pages); Original Soundtrack $4.99. PlayStation Deluxe Edition $26.99; Xbox Deluxe Edition $26.99+; Deluxe Pack $4.99. US eShop Switch 2 Edition is the same $24.99; the Switch 2 Edition Upgrade Pack is $0.
The opening act is still free on the Xbox demo (live as of August 28, 2026). The Steam store page we fetched that morning still did not show a Play Demo button.
What's New
Checked 27 October 2026. Patch 1.2.1 (16 October 2026) added an upgradeable Silo next to the Refinery on Lou's Island. Megabit and Tiny Roar said that patch is on Steam, Xbox and PS5. The 1.2.1 notes do not give a slot count and do not say crafting stations pull from the Silo. Patch 1.1.0 (10 September 2026) still stands for the cargo hold: 12 slots became 20, and it opens anywhere on an island. Tiny Roar said on 8 October 2026 that patch 1.1.0 reached Nintendo Switch 1 and Switch 2. Patch 1.1.1 (1 October 2026) is a bugfix on Steam, Xbox and PS5. Tiny Roar's post links the 1.1.1 Steam post. The silo note is the 1.2.1 Steam post. Patch 1.2.2 (22 October 2026) is a separate Steam post. That 1.2.2 post does not name Xbox, PS5 or Switch. The Steam news hub is only the index. Steam’s US date field still reads Aug 26, 2026; we keep the calendar date August 27 used by Nintendo and Megabit.
Confirmed for the 1.0 Release developer statements
- Steam Cloud saves — support has been (re)added;
- Controls fixed — the jump/control issues players flagged in the demo are fixed in the release build, with more polish (like climbing interactions) planned in post-launch updates;
- Toggle Sprint and other highly requested settings made it into 1.0 (not every request fit the timeline);
- Languages — the 12 launch languages match the demo; Ukrainian won't be in 1.0 and no near-term additions are planned.
