Botany Manor Announces New PS5 Release Date

Botany Manor's PlayStation Debut Set for January 28th

Highly acclaimed puzzle game Botany Manor finally has a PlayStation release date: January 28th, 2025. Initially slated for December 17th, 2024, the PS4 and PS5 versions were delayed to allow for further refinement.

Originally launched in April 2024 for Nintendo Switch, Xbox One, Xbox Series X/S, and PC, Botany Manor quickly garnered widespread praise, earning its place among the best puzzle games of the year. The PlayStation port, announced by publisher Whitethorn Games, faced a postponement, with the company prioritizing a polished player experience. The new January 28th release date was confirmed on January 9th, 2025.

While the release date is set, a PS Store page is still pending, meaning pre-ordering or wishlisting isn't yet possible. The game is expected to retail at $24.99, consistent with other platforms, and will remain a one-time purchase without microtransactions. Unlike the Steam version, the digital soundtrack will likely not be offered separately on PlayStation.

Expanding PlayStation's Puzzle Game Lineup

Botany Manor's strong critical reception (an 83/100 average and 92% recommendation rate on OpenCritic) highlights its charming atmosphere, ingenious puzzles, and rewarding exploration. Its arrival on PlayStation is poised to significantly enhance the console's already impressive puzzle game library.

With the PlayStation launch, Botany Manor will be available on all initially planned platforms. Developer Balloon Studios has yet to announce its next project. Joining Botany Manor on the PS Store on January 28th are Cuisineer, Eternal Strands, and The Sone of Madness.
