Solarpunk

Solarpunk is a cozy open-world survival and crafting game developed by Cyberwave and published by rokaplay and Metaroot. It released on June 8, 2026 for PC, PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X|S, and Nintendo Switch 2. The game takes place on a world of floating islands where you build, farm, explore, and automate using solar-powered technology.

About the Game

Solarpunk is built around an optimistic vision of the future. Rather than post-apocalyptic survival, it gives you a hopeful world where nature and technology coexist. You build a home on floating islands, grow crops, craft sustainable gadgets, and explore the sky-bound world at your own pace. Furthermore, the game supports both solo and cooperative play for up to four players.

The tone is relaxed and creative. Solarpunk is not about danger or punishing systems. Instead, it rewards patience, curiosity, and building something beautiful. Additionally, the eco-friendly aesthetic gives the game a strong identity that sets it apart from darker survival titles. It is designed for players who enjoy cozy games with a deeper crafting layer.

Key Features

Floating Island Exploration

The world is made up of islands suspended in the sky. You explore them by airship, on foot, and through new traversal tools. Furthermore, each island offers different resources, biomes, and opportunities. The sense of discovery keeps the world feeling fresh.

Sustainable Building and Automation

You build structures powered by solar energy and design automated systems for farming and production. That gives the game a satisfying engineering layer. As a result, the progression loop rewards both creativity and efficiency. You can build exactly the kind of floating homestead you want.

Farming and Crafting

Growing crops and crafting items are central to your daily routine. The systems are deep enough to feel rewarding without being overwhelming. Moreover, farming is tied to the game’s broader resource loop. Every harvest feeds into something bigger.

Co-Op for Up to Four Players

The game supports multiplayer so friends can build and explore together. Co-op adds a social layer to the cozy loop. In addition, shared building projects give multiplayer sessions a clear purpose. It works well for both spontaneous sessions and long-term projects.
