Apple Arcade

Steam PC

Hello Kitty Island Adventure was released on January 30, 2025 on Steam (PC).

Most updates come out on  Apple Arcade first. The current version of the game on Steam (PC) is approximately equal to  Apple Arcade version 1.9, but all content will come to all platforms eventually. Outside of the differences in update speeds and current content availability, Sunblink is "contractually required to keep the experience the same across platforms," according to a statement from the dev team.

Announced Updates

News Date	Version	Release Date	Notes
February 20, 2025	TBD	TBD (Spring 2025)	Content Update 1 (CU1) “Friends, Furniture, and Frozen Peaks” We’re currently working on Content Update 1 for Switch and PC! This FREE update will include highly requested QoL features like Furniture Stacking (which lets you place multiple items on tables, multiple items on mannequins, furniture on top of furniture, rugs on floors, and more) and Call Friend (so you can companion from anywhere), the expansions to Icy Peak (Blizzard Peak and Snowy Village), and lots of friend content, from bestie quests to character furniture sets. For those familiar with the Apple Arcade version, this update will bring Switch/PC players up to parity with the 2.4 update, minus all second island content (aka no City Town). Making Friendship Player-Friendlier In an effort to address some confusing/frustrating UX around gifting friends, we are re-tuning friendship XP and gifts so that the number of hearts on a gift correlates with the amount of friendship and return gifts you receive. To enable this, we’ve made a few under the hood changes, including: +1 bonus for ❤️❤️ gifts +2 bonus for ❤️❤️❤️ gifts Non-preferred tags each contribute a single point Upgrades to some tags, including (common→uncommon), (common→uncommon), and (common→rare) With these changes, two and three heart gifts will see a global increase in efficacy, which should help improve both mid and late game gifting, all while making the mechanic much simpler to understand. This resolves nearly all discrepancies where gifts of a lower heart value could potentially have more benefit to friendship. This rebalance will go live first in the 2.4 Update on Arcade, (and therefore be part of CU1 for Switch/PC). We will continue to evaluate game balance going forward and make additional minor adjustments.
