Order of the Sinking Star Adds PlayStation 5 Release for 2026

The PS5 launch broadens the game's platform reach as publisher materials and early hands-on coverage highlight its unusually large scale.

Overview

  • Publisher Arc Games and developer Thekla confirmed on Tuesday, July 21, 2026 that Order of the Sinking Star will come to PlayStation 5 in 2026 alongside previously announced Switch 2 and PC (Steam) versions.
  • Thekla and director Jonathan Blow say the narrative puzzle adventure will include more than 1,000 hand-crafted, interconnected puzzles spread across four distinct worlds.
  • Previews and the extended overview trailer describe puzzles presented from top-down and isometric views with many challenges built around how objects interact and change when players manipulate them.
  • Players will control multiple characters—a queen, a thief, a warrior, a wizard and a talking boat—each with complementary abilities that let puzzle systems collide and evolve as worlds merge.
  • The PS5 confirmation could widen the game’s audience and community interest, but no specific release date or platform-specific features have been announced yet so the next notable update will be a firm launch date or technical details.
