The Witchbrook release date is confirmed for January 28, 2027, arriving on Steam (PC), Nintendo Switch, Nintendo Switch 2, Xbox One, Xbox Series X|S and, newly added, PlayStation 5. Chucklefish shared the news with a release date trailer during Nintendo's Indie World showcase in late October 2026, as reported by Gaming Trend and confirmed on the official Witchbrook site.
Witchbrook Release Date and Platforms
Witchbrook launches digitally on January 28, 2027 across six platforms. The same date applies everywhere, so there's no staggered rollout between consoles and PC.
| Platform | Release Date |
|---|---|
| Steam (PC) | January 28, 2027 |
| Nintendo Switch | January 28, 2027 |
| Nintendo Switch 2 | January 28, 2027 |
| Xbox One | January 28, 2027 |
| Xbox Series X|S | January 28, 2027 |
| PlayStation 5 | January 28, 2027 |
Platforms were confirmed via the official Witchbrook site and the Gaming Trend report following the Indie World reveal.
What's New: Witchbrook PS5 Version Added
The headline update alongside the new date is that Witchbrook PS5 support has been confirmed, with the PlayStation 5 version launching the same day as every other platform. PlayStation Universe notes that Witchbrook was originally expected as a PC-focused release before expanding to Switch and Xbox, with PS5 now joining the lineup.
On pricing, PlayStation Universe and other outlets report a $24.99 US digital price at launch, but the figure is not listed on the official Witchbrook site, so treat it as reported rather than confirmed.
Co-op: Playing Witchbrook With Friends
Witchbrook can be played solo or in online co-op with up to three friends, for four players total. This is confirmed on the official site and reported by Gaming Trend and PlayStation Universe. The game's Steam page says co-op partners can build up a witch business together, customise their cottages, hone their spellcraft and race through the park on their brooms.
Cross-play between platforms (including the new PS5 version) has not been confirmed, and there's no announcement of couch/local co-op, so treat both as unconfirmed for now.
What Is Witchbrook? The Magical School Life-Sim
Witchbrook is a witch life-sim and social RPG from London-based developer and publisher Chucklefish, with co-development by Robotality. The game is set in the seaside town of Mossport, where your character enrolls at Witchbrook College to study subjects such as Alchemy, Potions, Astrology, Rituals, Demon Hunting and Tarot, as listed on the game's Steam page.
Beyond classes, PlayStation Universe describes a world built around business management (selling crafted goods and unlocking perks), broom and moped deliveries around Mossport, farming and fishing near your cottage, and a wellbeing system that affects relationships, exam performance and income. The game also features a dating and romance system with the covenmates you meet at school.
Visually, Witchbrook uses an isometric pixel art style, letting you fly across Mossport by broom and explore locations like Shadhollow Forest and Elwood Square.
Witchbrook Language Support
According to the official Witchbrook FAQ, the game will support a list of languages including English, French, German, Spanish, Brazilian Portuguese, Russian, Japanese, Korean, Simplified Chinese and Traditional Chinese. Vietnamese is not on that list, so Vietnamese players should expect to play with one of the listed languages at launch unless Chucklefish announces otherwise.
