Where the Seeds Fall, the first game from Cygames’ new CygamesEdge label, is out now: it launched on Thursday, November 5, 2026 on PC (Steam), PS5 and Nintendo Switch 2. Cygames set the release for 5:00 AM UTC on November 5, which was 12:00 AM (midnight) EST on November 5, or 9:00 PM PST on November 4, and the game unlocked on Steam at that moment. Cygames did not give a separate hour for PS5 or Switch 2. Our launch story has the rest.
It is a short, $9.99 action-adventure about leaping down the branches of a giant tree, built for one sitting of about three hours. Below is the Steam launch time in every major time zone, what is known about the console versions, the price, the demo and what your PC needs.
Steam Release Time in Every Time Zone
Cygames’ release time post on Steam set the launch for 5:00 AM UTC on November 5, correcting a Steam store page that had shown November 6, and Steam unlocked the game for everyone at that moment. In local time, that was:
| Time zone | Steam unlock |
|---|---|
| Pacific (PST) | Wed, Nov 4, 9:00 PM |
| Mountain (MST) | Wed, Nov 4, 10:00 PM |
| Central (CST) | Wed, Nov 4, 11:00 PM |
| Eastern (EST) | Thu, Nov 5, 12:00 AM |
| UK (GMT) | Thu, Nov 5, 5:00 AM |
| Central Europe (CET) | Thu, Nov 5, 6:00 AM |
| Japan (JST) | Thu, Nov 5, 2:00 PM |
| Sydney (AEDT) | Thu, Nov 5, 4:00 PM |
US clocks fell back on November 1, so launch day ran on standard time. Cygames posted the exact hour on November 4, after the Steam store page had briefly shown November 6 as the release date.
Steam never offered a pre-purchase for the game, so there was nothing to pre-load; at about 5 GB, the download is small.
PS5 and Switch 2 Release Times
Cygames’ release date announcement on Steam and its press materials give November 5 for every platform, without an hour.
- PS5: the PlayStation Store page lists a November 5 release date and no unlock time.
- Switch 2: Cygames lists a Switch 2 version for November 5. Nintendo’s support pages say games bought ahead of time on the eShop generally unlock from 12:00 AM Eastern on release day, but also that some third-party games wait until 12:00 PM Pacific, and Cygames has not said which applies here.
The game is out on PS5 and Switch 2 as well, so if it does not show up, check your console’s store or library.
Price, Length and Platforms
- Price: $9.99 or €9.99, per Cygames’ demo and price announcement.
- Format: a download-only release. Cygames has not announced a boxed version.
- Length: Cygames says the main story takes about three hours on a first playthrough. After the credits, you can replay higher-difficulty maps and a time trial mode.
- Rating: ESRB T for Teen.
- Developers: CygamesEdge with ZEREO, published by Cygames.
The story follows a soldier in humanity’s last refuge on the branches of the World Tree, who defies orders to escort a “Fell Child” to the Blight-covered surface. The core idea is controlled falling: you read the wind, judge your landings, and throw flower buds that bloom into cushions to survive drops that would otherwise kill you.
Try the Free Demo First
A free demo has been on Steam since October 16. Cygames describes it as a challenging section built to show off the descent mechanics, with every action unlocked from the start, no story content, and a length of about 15 to 30 minutes. The full game unlocks actions gradually and, per Cygames, is balanced to be more approachable than the demo, so do not judge the difficulty by it alone. The demo is PC only; no PS5 or Switch 2 demo has been announced.
