Road to Early Access

What’s coming to Early Access?

What’s in Early Access?

First, a little throwback to our demo!

Thank you to everyone who stopped by and visited Loftia during Steam Next Fest!
In the demo, you started your adventure in Loftia City, met the NPCs, and got your first taste of life in Loftia!

In addition to following Loftia’s main questline, you also tried the following features and got to know Loftia even better!

And Now

You’ve played the demo, but there’s so much more waiting for you in the Early Access!
Here are some of the features that we’re most excited for you to try.

New Districts

Continue Your Journey

  • Uncover Loftia’s Secrets

    Loftia has many more stories waiting to be told. Discover what awaits you in the additional islands - more earthquakes, more animals, more Pebble!? Meet unique new characters, each with their own touch of Loftian history to show.

  • Explore in New Ways

    Fly higher with the Propeller upgrade for the Glider, reach new heights in the Hanging Gardens with Bounce Shoes, and ride the rails around Gridfall to reach exciting new areas with rail boots!

  • Fishing

    Fish with the Collector Rod from the waterways of Loftia, and discover a wide range of fish species that can be studied!

  • Research Stations

    Gather local flora and fauna of Loftia and contribute them to the community to help the ongoing study of Loftia’s islands, and make new discoveries!

  • Urbex

    Explore ancient underground tunnels and abandoned decrepit buildings to find ancient relics from the past. These Artifacts could reveal new discoveries about the mysteries of Old Earth!

  • More World Projects

    We built up and celebrated Pebble’s Birthday Party together in the demo. In Early Access, there will be many more World Projects that the community can tackle together, including larger-scale projects like rebuilding the Loftia City Dome, constructing more renewable energy sources, and more.

Grow Your Loftian

  • Pets

    Adopt the cutest and cuddliest pets who will join you on your journey throughout Loftia! You can take care of them, pet them, dress them up, and grow your friendship with them.

  • More Customization Options

    The demo had just a fraction of the total number of outfits and customization options (and emotes!) that are available to be unlocked, as you progress deeper into Loftia!

  • More Decorative Options

    Just like character customization, in Early Access there will be a huge array of additional decorative options for your house and island, in all sorts of different styles!

  • Level Up Your Proficiencies

    In Early Access, you can take your proficiencies much further than the demo’s Level 5 cap. Become better at various activities in Loftia - whether it’s Farming, Crafting, Cooking, Fishing, or something else. Level up your proficiencies, and choose which Perks to invest your points in to become the best at what you do!

Level Up Your Farming

  • Sustainable Farming

    Grow crops with more advanced and sustainable methods of farming, starting with Hydroponics Stations!

  • Community Farms

    Take part in Community Farming with fast-paced growing and friendly leaderboards. Each little bit grown gives back to help support the people of Loftia!

Hang Out with Friends

  • More Adventures!

    The demo showed just some of the adventure challenges that Loftia has in store. During Early Access, you can hop back in Ryder’s Airship and venture out to discover more distant research islands with even more exciting gauntlets!

  • Social Hangouts & Minigames

    Spend quality time hanging out with friends both old and new - whether it’s on your island or out in the world, and whether it’s simply chilling together or taking part in social minigames!

And more to come!

We’ll be adding more information to this page before Early Access launches on November 3, 2026.
Stay tuned for the latest updates!

Things to know before our release

What platforms will Loftia be available on?

Loftia can be played via Steam and the Epic Games Store, on both Mac and PC. Nintendo Switch will come in 2027. Beyond the initial release, we will aim to officially support additional platforms. Loftia is fully playable with controller / gamepad, in addition to keyboard and mouse, and also supports the Steam Deck.

Can I play by myself, if I don't enjoy playing together with others?

Loftia can be enjoyed both solo, and together with others - it's completely up to you! Playing alone will not block your progress in the game, and you'll still be able to enjoy almost all of the content as everybody else.

Will I need to be online to play Loftia? Will it support offline play?

Loftia is an MMO game, where you will need to be online to play, no matter what platform you are playing on.

Note that once Loftia comes to the Switch in 2027: to play online games on the Switch, Nintendo requires a Nintendo Switch Online membership ($20 per year in the US).

How much will Loftia cost?

Love from, the Loftia team

Loftia will be buy-to-play on Steam and Epic Games Store, with a base price of US$29.99. We will have a launch discount of 17% bringing the price down to US$24.89 for players in the US, along with regional pricing too.

Being a premium game means that our small indie team can focus on designing and building Loftia to be the best game it can be, and do so without implementing predatory or gacha monetization tactics. It also has the added benefit of making bans harder to get around, which keeps our community safer and friendlier!

What is the Backer Boutique, and the Community Pass?

The Backer Boutique is a cosmetic shop where you can buy optional cosmetics, such as outfits, furniture, pet accessories and styles, and visual effects. The shop will have cosmetic items only, that won’t affect gameplay. Loftia will not have gacha mechanics in our monetization. The vast majority of cosmetics will be obtained via gameplay. When we launch into Early Access, 93% of all cosmetics in Loftia will be unlocked via gameplay, not the Backer Boutique.

The Backer Boutique will contain cosmetics priced at between US$2 - $4 per item, and up to US$8 for a bundle of a full outfit (with regional pricing also available). Some bundles in the Backer Boutique form part of our Under the Canopy collection, which contains items that we have created specifically to support the planting of trees in the real world, together with One Tree Planted. Read more about Loftia and One Tree Planted.

The Community Pass is a pass that players can purchase to unlock additional cosmetic rewards from World Projects. These World Projects will have various rewards, some which can be unlocked by all players, and others that will require the Community Pass. The rewards will not expire, so after a World Project has been completed, you can still go back and choose to unlock all the pass rewards later!

If Loftia is a premium game, why also have a shop & pass?

Loftia is a live-service MMO, and our team is going to be constantly adding more content and features, and making the game even better, for years to come.

The Backer Boutique and Community Pass help sustain development on Loftia over the long term. Proceeds go towards the server costs of running an MMO for hundreds of thousands of players, ongoing moderation to keep the community safe, and of course enabling our team members to make a living doing what they love: building an incredible game and continuing to expand Loftia’s world! (And some proceeds will also go towards planting trees in the real world!)
