Double Fine’s Keeper Released on PS5 After State of Play Reveal

Regaining its rights from Microsoft lets Double Fine publish Keeper on PlayStation 5 to help fund its return to independence.

Overview

  • Keeper was announced and made available for PlayStation 5 during Sony’s State of Play broadcast on September 3, 2026, with outlets reporting the PS5 version went live the same day.
  • A PS5 trophy list posted on Exophase that showed 14 trophies including a Platinum leaked before the broadcast and was cited by multiple outlets ahead of the official reveal.
  • Keeper is a wordless, third-person atmospheric adventure in which the player controls an awakening lighthouse and the game earned generally positive critic scores after its October 2025 Xbox and PC launch.
  • Double Fine recovered its prior IP and publishing rights from Microsoft after returning to independence, and studio head Tim Schafer confirmed those rights have come back to the studio.
  • The PS5 release removes Keeper’s prior Xbox-only status and could broaden sales and visibility for Double Fine’s catalog while providing direct revenue the studio says will support its future projects.
