Hi everyone!

We hope you’ve been having a wonderful November! With fall comes crispy leaves, cocoa by the fire, bundling up in blankets, and news about the Sun Haven Nintendo Switch release!

Drumroll please…

(Americas region only)

You read that right, Sun Haven will be available on the Switch for the Americas region later this month on Black Friday, November 29th, at 7am PST.


The United States, Canada, Mexico, Brazil, Argentina, Chile, Colombia, and Peru.

For those of you worldwide, we will have more news to share about our release dates outside of the Americas very soon, but rest assured, Sun Haven will be coming to Switch to players worldwide over the next couple of months.

We are happy to be bringing Sun Haven to the Nintendo Switch at 30+ FPS, on par with other beloved games on the Switch, like Breath of the Wild or even Fortnite. Our team has put so much heart and soul into optimizing Sun Haven to make it run just like it would on PC, as indistinguishable as possible. In fact, there are essentially zero content differences between the two platforms as a result of all the amazing engineering work we’ve managed to accomplish. We hope you can see that effort when you get your hands on the Nintendo Switch Edition of Sun Haven later this month!

We’ve also prepared a Switch release FAQ that will hopefully answer any of your burning questions, so keep reading below for more information - including a sneak peek at some gameplay of Sun Haven on the Nintendo Switch!

Let’s jump right into it!

1. When is Sun Haven releasing on the Switch?
   - Sun Haven will be available for digital purchase on the Nintendo Switch eShop on November 29th, 2024 at 7 AM PST.
   
2. Will there be a physical release?

3. Can I pre-order Sun Haven on the Switch?
   - Sun Haven will not be available for pre-order for the Americas region but will potentially have pre-orders for other regions.
   
4. Is Sun Haven coming to other consoles?
   - We hope to port Sun Haven to other consoles like Xbox and Playstation someday, but right now our focus is on Steam and Nintendo Switch specifically!
   
5. Will the Switch version have the same content as the Steam version?
   - The Nintendo Switch release of Sun Haven will match what is available right now on Steam at launch.
   
6. Is the Switch version going to be multiplayer?
   - The Switch version will not have multiplayer at this time, but once Sun Haven is released on the Switch, we will be looking into how difficult it will be to add multiplayer!

10. When will I get my Kickstarter backer rewards?

11. Is Sun Haven going to be available on upcoming Nintendo Consoles?
    - Our goal is to have Sun Haven available on all upcoming Nintendo platforms and/or consoles!

Now, who wants to see Sun Haven in all its beautiful, bright-screened glory on the Nintendo Switch?

Sun Haven on the Switch? Very cutesy. Very mindful. Very demure.

Lastly, we want to extend our sincerest apologies for the time that it’s taken to bring Sun Haven to the Switch. The port, development, testing, and approval process has taken far longer than we originally expected or anticipated, and we are very sorry for the delays and the inconvenience to all of our Switch Backers and other players without Steam who haven’t been able to play Sun Haven yet. We spent much of our time making sure that Switch players would not get an older version of Sun Haven, and would get a game that is just as good as the PC version. We completely understand your frustrations, and we’re very sorry for the delays. We are excited for the Nintendo Switch Edition of Sun Haven to be in your hands now!

Because Sun Haven was our first game, it’s safe to say we’ve learned a lot from Sun Haven’s development and publishing, and we will make every effort to improve our development, communication, and publishing going forward. Thank you very much for your continued support, patience, and understanding. We couldn’t do this without you. ❤️

Phew, that was a lot of information, thanks for sticking with us through it all! If you have any other questions, concerns, suggestions, bugs to report, or the desire to make new friends, be sure to join our Discord here: https://discord.gg/sunhaven
