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.
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 12 September 2026. Megabit posted Patch 1.1.0 live on Steam, Xbox and PS5; Switch 1 and Switch 2 are still testing. The seaplane cargo hold went from 12 to 20 slots and can be opened anywhere on an island. The Lou's Island silo is not out yet. 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.
