PS5's Release Update: Botany Manor Announces Exciting News

Botany Manor's PlayStation Release Finally Set for January 28th

After a short delay, the critically acclaimed puzzle game Botany Manor will finally bloom on PlayStation consoles on January 28th, 2025. Initially slated for a December 17th, 2024 release, the PS4 and PS5 versions were pushed back to allow for additional polish and ensure the best possible player experience.

Developed by Balloon Studios and published by Whitethorn Games, Botany Manor charmed players on Nintendo Switch, Xbox, and PC earlier in 2024 with its relaxing gameplay, magical plants, and charming English countryside setting. The game's highly positive reception, boasting an 83/100 average score and 92% recommendation rate on OpenCritic, solidified its reputation as a top-tier puzzler.

The January 28th launch date, announced on January 9th, marks the second confirmed release date for the PlayStation versions. While a PS Store page is still pending, players can expect a price point of $24.99 – consistent with other platforms. The game remains a one-time purchase with no microtransactions, and the digital soundtrack, available separately on Steam, is not expected on the PlayStation Store.

Expanding PlayStation's Puzzle Genre

Botany Manor's arrival significantly enhances the PlayStation puzzle game library. With its release on the PS Store, the game will be available on all initially planned platforms. While Balloon Studios hasn't revealed their next project, January 28th also sees the PlayStation debut of several other titles, including Cuisineer, Eternal Strands, and The Son of Madness, making it a busy day for PlayStation gamers.
