New Release Date Announced for Botany Manor
- Botany Manor will launch on PlayStation 4 and PlayStation 5 on January 28.
- Originally set for a December 17 release, the game’s launch was postponed to allow for further refinement.
- Having debuted in April 2024, Botany Manor received widespread acclaim and is celebrated as one of the top puzzle games of the year.
Botany Manor is officially set to make its debut on PlayStation consoles, arriving on both PS4 and PS5 on January 28. This announcement comes after the game faced an initial delay, pushing its release from the previously scheduled date of December 17 in order to enhance the overall player experience.
Created by the London-based Balloon Studios, Botany Manor invites players to engage in a soothing puzzle-solving adventure where they cultivate enchanting plants amidst the tranquil backdrop of the English countryside. The game first launched in early April 2024 across multiple platforms, including Nintendo Switch, Xbox One, Xbox Series X/S, and PC. However, the adaptation for PlayStation was postponed just one day prior to its initial planned release, as Pennsylvania-based publisher Whitethorn Games expressed their commitment to delivering the best gameplay experience, promising a future announcement regarding the new release date.
On January 9, Whitethorn Games confirmed the revised launch date for Botany Manor on PlayStation, aligning with January 28. Despite the confirmed release date, prospective players on PS4 and PS5 should note that a dedicated page for the game has yet to appear on the PS Store, indicating that they will need to wait a little longer to add it to their wishlists.

The anticipated PlayStation version of Botany Manor is expected to retail for $24.99, consistent with its pricing across other platforms. Notably, the game requires only a one-time purchase and is completely devoid of microtransactions. While Steam users can purchase an optional digital soundtrack for their edition, this feature has not been made available in the Switch or Xbox versions, suggesting it may not be offered on the PS Store either.
