When did Nivalis Nights come out?+
Nivalis Nights officially released worldwide on September 29, 2026 at 3:00 PM UTC / 11:00 PM HKT / 8:00 AM PST as a full 1.0 commercial launch on Steam, with no Early Access period.
Which platforms is Nivalis Nights on?+
PC only, through Steam and the Epic Games Store (with GeForce NOW cloud streaming support). No PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X|S, Nintendo Switch, Mac or Linux version has been announced.
Is Nivalis Nights coming to PS5 or Xbox?+
Not announced. No console version, release window or disc edition has been confirmed by ION LANDS or 505 Games. Console release dates circulating online are speculation.
Do you need to play Cloudpunk first?+
No. Nivalis Nights is set in the same city as Cloudpunk and players of both may notice small connections, but it is designed as a standalone experience with its own storyline and ending.
Does Nivalis Nights have codes?+
No. It is a single-player premium PC game with no code redemption system and no redemption menu. Any page offering Nivalis Nights codes is generating filler.
How much does Nivalis Nights cost?+
Nivalis Nights is priced at $24.99 USD / €24.99 EUR / £21.99 GBP on Steam and the Epic Games Store, featuring an active 10% launch discount (~$22.49 USD) during its first week of availability, as confirmed by 505 Games.
Will Nivalis Nights be moddable?+
ION LANDS has expressed strong enthusiasm for community creativity. While native day-one Steam Workshop integration has not been officially confirmed, the game's Unity engine architecture and voxel pipeline provide strong feasibility for community visual, audio, vehicle, and furniture customization post-launch.
