Indie developer Cyberwave and publisher Rokaplay said the cozy survival game Solarpunk will launch on June 8, 2026 [1].
The reveal comes via a new gameplay trailer showcasing the title's first-person perspective and its setting on floating islands. This release marks a significant push for the "cozy" survival genre, which emphasizes relaxation and creativity over high-stress combat.
Solarpunk will be available across multiple platforms, including PC via Steam, the Epic Games Store, and GOG [2]. Console players can access the game on Xbox Series X/S and PlayStation 5 [2]. The game is also slated for the Nintendo Switch, though some industry descriptions refer to the hardware as the Switch 2 [2].
In addition to the broad platform availability, the developers said the game will be included on Xbox Game Pass at launch [3]. The trailer highlights the core loop of survival and exploration within a vibrant, optimistic world. The title aims to blend the traditional mechanics of survival games with a non-violent, aesthetic-driven approach to world-building.
While there are slight discrepancies in the branding of the developer—referred to as both Cyberwave and Cyberware across different reports—the partnership with Rokaplay remains the primary publishing driver [2, 3]. The gameplay reveal was timed to coincide with industry showcases, including the Triple-I Initiative, to build momentum ahead of the June release [1].
