Double Fine has swiftly moved its unique adventure game Keeper to PlayStation 5, just weeks after the studio parted ways with Xbox. Keeper, a vibrant and whimsical adventure featuring a crumbling lighthouse and a curious bird, failed to gain a broad audience on Xbox Series X/S and PC following its debut last year. The game was Double Fine's final project before Microsoft ended its partnership.
Its launch on PlayStation isn't unexpected, as the studio has previously brought other titles to the platform during its time with Xbox. However, the rapid announcement aligns with Sony's State of Play broadcast, which seems less likely to occur if Keeper remained under Xbox's control. IGN praised Keeper in a review, awarding it a 9/10 score, praising its captivating world with its engaging soundtrack and fantastical visuals.
Earlier this week, Double Fine launched a Kickstarter campaign aiming to secure the game's future, promising to develop Brütal Legend 2 if it successfully raised $100 million. This news arrives amidst the latest showcase from PlayStation, as reported during Sony's State of Play on September 2026.
