What each listing says
The two public platform listings and the official Steam page do not line up perfectly, which is worth knowing before launch day:
| Page | Platforms listed | Release date |
|---|---|---|
| IGN game page | Nintendo Switch, PC | Nov 10, 2026 |
| DayOne release tracker | Nintendo Switch, PC (Microsoft Windows) | November 10, 2026 |
| Official Steam page | Windows only | Nov 10, 2026 (coming soon) |
As of 2026-11-08, the official Steam store page lists only Windows among its platforms, and its Steam Deck compatibility is shown as "Unknown". That means the Steam listing itself does not confirm the Switch version — the Switch confirmation comes from IGN's platform listing and the DayOne tracker, not from an official Sunnyside Games store page for the console. The developer's Steam announcements confirm the November 10 launch date itself but do not mention platforms beyond PC.
What this means for you
- Day one on Switch looks likely, not guaranteed: two independent listings show Switch, but no official Switch store page is included in the checked material, so a delay or storefront difference is still possible until the eShop listing appears.
- PC is the confirmed fallback: the Steam page is official and detailed, with full controller support, DualShock and DualSense support, and a recommended gamepad — so the game is clearly built for controllers if you do play on PC.
- Price is not yet listed on the Steam page as of 2026-11-08, and Switch pricing has not appeared anywhere in the checked material.
If you want the release confirmed on your console, check the Nintendo eShop on or shortly after November 10, 2026.
