PS5 Drop Alert: Botany Manor Sets Release Date!

Botany Manor's PlayStation Debut Set for January 28th

Highly acclaimed puzzle game Botany Manor finally has a confirmed 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 critical praise, earning a reputation as one of the best puzzle games of the year. The PlayStation port, announced by publisher Whitethorn Games, faced a brief delay, with the new release date confirmed on January 9th, 2025.

While the January 28th launch date is set, a PlayStation Store page is still pending, meaning pre-orders aren't yet available. The game is expected to retail at $24.99, consistent with its pricing on other platforms, and will remain a one-time purchase without microtransactions. Unlike the Steam version, a separate digital soundtrack is unlikely to be offered on the PlayStation Store.

Botany Manor Enhances PlayStation's Puzzle Game Lineup

Botany Manor's strong reception (an 83 average score and 92% recommendation rate on OpenCritic) highlights its charming atmosphere, ingenious puzzles, and rewarding exploration. Its arrival on PlayStation promises to significantly enrich the console's already impressive collection of puzzle games.

With the PlayStation release, Botany Manor will be available on all initially planned platforms. Developer Balloon Studios hasn't yet announced their next project. January 28th also sees the PlayStation Store releases of Cuisineer, Eternal Strands, and The Sone of Madness.
