Back in September 2022, Slime Rancher 2 entered early access on the Xbox Series X and PC, and Monomi Park said it wouldn’t leave that state and release 1.0 “for at least 18 months.” Now, it actually has a release date. The full version of the game will debut on all existing platforms and the PS5 on September 23, 2025. That will be about 36 months after early access started. An iam8bit physical release for both consoles will come on January 14, 2026.
We know that the 1.0 version of Slime Rancher 2 will include both expected additions and ones based on player feedback. The campaign storyline will finally wrap up. The Labyrinth will be larger. There’ll be extra customization items. It will also be possible to get Quantum Drones to gather or work on your farm.
The release date trailer for Slime Rancher 2 shows some of the elements that will be available once we see the game leave early access.
In the case of the Slime Rancher 2 physical copy, it will cost $34.99. That gives someone the game and a poster. Said copy will work on any PS5 or Xbox Series X. However, early pre-orders made before August 26, 2025 can upgrade to the Exclusive Edition. That is the same price, but also includes a code to download the soundtrack.
Slime Rancher 2 will leave early access and debut on the PS5, Xbox Series X, and PC on September 23, 2025. The physical PS5 and Xbox Series X copies will launch on January 14, 2026.
