Coral Island Devs Allowing Switch Backers to Get Steam Keys

Stairway Games, developers of Coral Island, noted that it is uncertain about the future of the Switch version of the game following the Humble Games restructuring. As such, it announced people who backed that console version on Kickstarter can now switch to a Steam key for a PC version and immediately start playing the game.

There are two ways to swap to a Steam code for the PC copy of Coral Island if you were a Switch backer. One is to email the developer directly at [email protected], and the other is to join the game’s Discord and get in touch with a member of the team there. It noted that once someone gets in touch and supplies their information, the change can happen.

Stairway Games also addressed the situation regarding the Switch version of Coral Island to the best of their ability. The statement noted the frustration tied to the port, saying, “Over the years, there’s a lot we’ve wanted to say in the spirit of transparency, about many different things, but continue to be unable to do so because of the publishing agreement and NDA we have in place.”

The developer also noted that the Humble Games restructuring is behind a delay for the Coral Island PS5 and Xbox Series X hotfix 1.1. The company said it can send out the patch on Steam, but can’t do so for either console version. That 1.1 update went live on July 22, 2024.

Here is the full statement:

Coral Island is immediately available on the PS5, Xbox Series X, and PC via Steam. The future of the Switch version of the game is uncertain.
