Town to City will leave Early Access and launch version 1.0 on PC via Steam in May 2026 [1], [2].

The transition to a full release marks a significant milestone for the title, as it moves from a development phase to a completed product for its player base.

Developer Galaxy Grove and publisher Kwalee are overseeing the launch [1], [2]. The version 1.0 release is intended to deliver the full experience to players, including the addition of a new map, and a Tourism update [1], [3].

Reports on the exact release date vary among industry sources. Engadget and IGN report the game will launch on May 26, 2026 [1], [3]. However, Gematsu reported the date as May 16, 2026 [2].

The game originally entered Early Access on Sept. 16, 2025 [2]. Since that time, it has become one of the top-rated games in the cozy city-building genre [1].

"Town to City will leave Early Access, and version 1.0 will be available on PC on May 26, 2026," an IGN video description said [3]. The release aims to finalize the gameplay loop that has drawn a positive reception from the community during its early phase.

Players can access the game through the Steam platform [2]. The developers have focused on the "cozy" aspect of the simulation, emphasizing a relaxed pace of urban growth, and management [1].

The move to version 1.0 indicates that Galaxy Grove has completed its primary development roadmap. By introducing a Tourism update and a new map at launch, the developers are attempting to expand the game's longevity and attract a wider audience beyond the early adopters who supported the title during its 2025 Early Access period.
