Silver Pines Release Date, Platforms, and Demo — Everything Confirmed

Silver Pines is fourteen days out as of this writing — here’s every confirmed date and platform, with the milestones that got it here.

When does Silver Pines release?

October 8, 2026. The date was locked at the Horror Game Awards “Midsummer Night’s Scream” showcase on June 2, 2026, alongside the demo launch. It was announced the previous October — October 23, 2025 — with a trailer establishing the survival-horror metroidvania pitch: a private investigator, a missing musician, a half-evacuated town.

What platforms is it on?

Steam, Epic Games Store, PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X|S, Nintendo Switch — and Switch 2. Six storefronts at launch; the game was featured at the Convergence Showcase with designer Linus Larsson walking through the opening. Pricing hasn’t been officially announced as of September 24.

Is there a demo?

Yes — free on Steam since June 1, 2026. It covers the game’s opening chapter (our demo walkthrough covers it end-to-end) and sits at 96% positive across roughly 700 reviews — an unusually strong reception for a pre-release slice. If you play nothing else before launch, the demo is the honest preview: real survival-horror economy, real metroidvania gating.

Who is making it?

Wych Elm AB, published by Team17. Wych Elm is a five-person Swedish studio whose credits include work on Helldivers 2, The Darkness, and the BAFTA-winning Yoku’s Island Express. Silver Pines is their debut original title.

How big is the launch?

200,000+ wishlists as of September 2026 across Steam and consoles — a strong position for an indie survival-horror debut, and the reason this wiki exists two weeks early.
