Direct answer: The full PC release launched on August 5, 2026. Officially announced additions include 10-heart NPC progression, proposal and wedding events, marriage and children, additional dungeon quests and rewards, a renown cap of 100, and a completable town-repair storyline.
Requirements
- Update the Steam build before loading a long-running save
- Back up a valued save before a major-version session
- Treat older relationship guides as incomplete
Step-by-step
- Confirm the title screen shows the current build
- Review mail, the request board, and newly available town repair objectives
- Open the Social menu and note the new relationship cap
- Revisit mine, museum, and renown goals with the expanded caps
- Record any discrepancy with platform, build number, and save age
Common reasons it does not work
- Check: A guide still describes an Early Access build as current
- Check: A late-game trigger is missing because an earlier event or quest remains incomplete
- Check: The game client did not finish updating before the save loaded

FAQ
Do Early Access saves carry over?
Yes. The official FAQ says existing saves remain compatible, though backing up a long-running save before a major update is still sensible.
Are achievements retroactive?
The official FAQ says eligible achievements are awarded retroactively when the existing save is loaded and the requirement can be recognized.
Is a console release confirmed?
The studio says console options are being evaluated after the PC launch; that is not the same as an announced platform or release date.
Current live-release baseline
The game has left Early Access on PC. Existing saves carry forward, achievements can be awarded retroactively from save progress, and the main town and museum completion paths are now available. Console versions remain unannounced; Steam lists Windows plus SteamOS and Linux support.
Major systems now available
| Area | Current scope |
|---|---|
| Relationships | Ten-heart progression, proposal events, weddings, marriage, and children |
| Town | Completable repair storyline and renown progression to the final cap |
| Museum | Completion is possible, with additional sets and rewards |
| Mines | Additional dungeon quests, rewards, and final-biome adjustments |
| Skills | Additional perks across several skill trees |
| Customization | More furniture, cosmetics, home exteriors, music, and mount options |
| Accessibility | Beta translations for seven languages |
Latest patch focus
The newest live patch is mainly quality-of-life, stability, localization, collision, and crash work. It also adds hairstyles and fixes specific progression problems around festivals, home exteriors, animal toys, the final mine biome, wedding configurations, and achievements. This means an old guide can still be mechanically wrong even when the headline feature did not change.
Returning-save checklist
Back up the save, launch once to process achievements and mail, review the Journal, visit the museum, check the request board, and inspect relationship statuses before committing to a proposal. Do not start a new save merely to access the full-release content.
Where to continue
Use marriage, children, mines, and the museum checklist for task-level instructions.
