A highly anticipated game scheduled for release in early 2026 unexpectedly appeared on the PlayStation Store. While early releases are rare – games are usually delayed, not launched ahead of schedule – some players were able to discover and briefly play the game. It seems the listing was likely a mistake, even though the game itself appears to be fully prepared for launch.
On November 14, 2025, the game Starseed Island unexpectedly showed up on the PlayStation store. It wasn’t scheduled for release until February 1, 2026, so its early appearance was probably an error. The game was listed for an odd price of $42.49 and was quickly removed after a few hours, but not before some players were able to buy and play it. Reports on X (formerly Twitter) suggest that Starseed Island was a fully playable game, not a demo or test version.
Some Lucky Players Got a Copy of Starseed Island
A player named @Renka_schedule shared their experiences on X after trying out the game. They confirmed that character creation and the player’s home are working correctly – the home even includes a double bed right away! They were also able to use an axe for gathering wood and befriended two NPCs named Azusa and Mio, who are both currently listed as single. The game features six levels of affection with NPCs, ranging from friendship to eventually living together. It looks like the release date for Starseed Island, February 1st, is still accurate, as Seed Labs quickly addressed any incorrect information.
If you enjoy games like Stardew Valley, you’ll definitely want to check out Starseed Island. This charming, anime-inspired life simulation game boasts beautiful graphics and engaging gameplay. Successfully funded through a Kickstarter campaign in early 2025 – raising over $311,500 – Starseed Island recently had a playable demo at Gamescom, showcasing its building features. The game clearly draws inspiration from Stardew Valley, but features a unique animation style that recalls the films of Studio Ghibli. It looks like a relaxing and enjoyable game that players can lose themselves in for hours.
Players who downloaded Starseed Island before it was removed noticed some graphical glitches, hinting the version wasn’t quite complete. While PlayStation Trophies weren’t initially set up, players found a way to enable them with a few adjustments. The game’s file size is 9.25 GB. If you weren’t able to try the early release, the official launch is in February. You can find gameplay footage recorded by others online in the meantime.
