Seed Sparkle Labs announced today that their game, Starsand Island, will enter Early Access on February 11th. Players will first be able to access it on PC through Steam and via the Xbox Game Pass Preview program. The developers don’t plan for the Early Access period to last very long, and they are currently aiming for a full release of Starsand Island on PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X|S, and Nintendo Switch 2 in the summer of 2026.

The company, a Japanese game developer known for the Trails and Ys games, has made a new announcement, though most people don’t think it has anything to do with those series.

Seed Sparkle Lab says they’ll use the Early Access phase to finish up the game’s content and polish the late-game experience before the official launch. The multiplayer feature won’t be ready until the full game is released.

Bandai Namco revealed the newest installment in their fast-paced fighter jet series at The Game Awards 2025, but details have been scarce since then.
