STARDUST: Wish of Witch, a turn-based strategy RPG drawn in pixel art, is heading to PlayStation 5 and Nintendo Switch 2. UK publisher Silver Lining Interactive announced the console versions in a press release dated October 13, and developer Kniv Studio shared the news with players in a Steam post the same day. The game has been on PC since May 28, 2026, according to its Steam store page, which lists it at $24.99 in the US.

Where and how to get it on console

The PS5 version can already be added to a PlayStation Store wishlist, while the Switch 2 store page has not gone up yet. Physical boxed copies for both consoles are open for pre-order on Silver Lining Direct, the publisher’s own shop, and each physical copy comes with a code for the game’s digital soundtrack. The PS5 and Switch 2 product pages both mark the edition as a pre-order title due in 2027, and the announcement artwork Silver Lining released with the news narrows that to the first quarter of 2027.

What kind of game it is

The story follows Star, a cheerful warrior who wants to become a hero, and Yu, her quiet and methodical mage friend. A routine job for the local adventurers’ guild turns into a much bigger journey once rival factions start fighting over a star said to grant wishes.

Battles take place on grids and revolve around reading enemy moves, then answering with counters and combos. Each character’s skills come from a card system that the publisher pitches as a way to customize how the party fights, and the story is told with hand-drawn pixel art and animated cutscenes. The Steam store tags it as an indie strategy RPG, with Silver Lining Interactive and Solo Game listed as publishers.

What we don’t know yet

Neither the press release nor the Steam post gives an exact release date for the PS5 or Switch 2 version; both say dates will be announced later. Digital prices for the console versions have not been announced either.
