The cozy life sim Hello Kitty Island Adventure, developed by Sunblink in collaboration with Sanrio, is expanding its reach to Nintendo Switch and PC via Steam on January 30, 2025. PlayStation 4 and 5 versions will follow later in the year. Pre-orders are now open for both Switch and Steam platforms.
From Mobile Phenomenon to Multi-Platform Adventure
Originally launched exclusively on Apple Arcade, Hello Kitty Island Adventure took the gaming world by storm in 2023. The game earned critical acclaim, winning the Apple Arcade Game of the Year and being nominated for Best Mobile Game at The Game Awards. It also secured a Webby People’s Voice Award, cementing its status as a fan favorite.
Sunblink’s CEO and founder, Julian Farrior, shared his excitement about the expansion:
“When we first debuted Hello Kitty Island Adventure on Apple Arcade, players discovered a world where friendship and kindness open doors and lift us up. Helping bring kindness, inclusion, and good vibes to more people is a tremendous honor, and we can’t wait for Switch and PC players to join the fun.”

Craig Takiguchi, COO of Sanrio Inc., echoed these sentiments:
“Hello Kitty continues spreading smiles and her presence in the digital space with the expansion of Hello Kitty Island Adventure. For 50 years, Hello Kitty has connected generations through friendship, positivity, and kindness. Bringing the game to more platforms allows even more fans to immerse themselves in Sanrio’s world and create lasting memories with Hello Kitty, Cinnamoroll, and other fan-favorite characters.”
