Anime-inspired life and farming simulation game Starsand Island will launch for Switch 2 alongside its previously announced PlayStation 5, Xbox Series, and PC (Steam, Microsoft Store) versions in early 2026, developer Seed Lab announced.
The Switch 2 version of Starsand Island will take full advantage of the console’s hardware, offering a “Quality Mode” targeting 45 frames per second in 1080p resolution, and a “Performance Mode” targeting 60 frames per second in 1080p resolution (both docked and handheld), as well as Game Chat during online multiplayer, and mouse control functionality.
“Bringing Starsand Island to Nintendo Switch 2 has been a longstanding goal for us; the life-sim genre has a natural home on Nintendo consoles,” said Seed Lab creative director Richardo Wang in a press release. “Even before it was announced nearly a year ago, we knew—and wanted—our game to be on Nintendo’s next-generation platform. Starsand Island transports players to a simple, pastoral life, and we think that should be available whether they’re at home, commuting to and from work, or taking a break.”
