Sonic PICO PARK Release Date, Platforms & Price

Sources checked 2026-11-12 · Independent fan wiki · Single-sourced claims are marked inline

SONIC PICO PARK was released on November 12, 2026 for US $9.99 on Nintendo Switch, Nintendo Switch 2, PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X|S, Xbox One and Steam — where it ships for Windows and also lists a macOS build. Every price, date and requirement below was read from the official site and each store's listing on launch day, 2026-11-12, and is dated accordingly. This page also flags where official sources disagree (Windows versions, macOS support and the age rating).

Release date

The official site gives the release date as November 12, 2026, and every store listing agrees: Steam shows "Nov 12, 2026" with the game released (not coming soon); both US Nintendo eShop pages and the Xbox and PlayStation listings carry a 2026-11-12 release date (the Xbox and PlayStation pages timestamp it 08:00 UTC). Sega's Japanese announcements describe the format as a download-version-first sale (ダウンロード版先行販売); no physical-edition date has been announced, and none is invented here. The official English site still showed a "Add to your Steam wishlist" button when read on launch day — leftover pre-release wording; the Steam release state is what counts.

Platforms and stores

The official site lists the platform set as Nintendo Switch, Nintendo Switch 2, PlayStation 5, XBOX Series X|S, XBOX One, Windows and Steam. Note the macOS situation: the official site mentions Windows and Steam only, while the Steam listing itself reports mac support — macOS is a Steam-store fact, not an official-site fact. Developer is TECOPARK; publisher is PICO PARK Inc.; the collaboration marks Sonic the Hedgehog's 35th anniversary, and the official site says the PICO PARK series has sold over 8.5 million copies worldwide.

Price

Every US storefront read on 2026-11-12 listed $9.99: Steam's price overview (USD 9.99, no launch discount), both Nintendo eShop pages, Xbox and PlayStation. No other regional prices are quoted here, and no discount schedule is claimed — none was listed at the time of the read.

System requirements

Steam's PC requirements state a 64-bit OS, Windows 11 64-bit and an Intel Core i5 as the minimum, with a nearly empty recommended field (just the 64-bit OS line). The macOS minimum is macOS Sonoma on an Apple M1 or Intel processor. Two conflicts worth knowing about rather than hiding:

• Windows 11 vs Windows 10: Steam's minimum says Windows 11, while the Xbox store page's system line mentions Windows 10 (Xbox Play Anywhere context). This site reports both rather than picking one.
• Official site vs Steam on macOS: the official site lists Windows/Steam and does not mention macOS; the Steam listing does. See above.

TrueAchievements additionally lists a 769 MB download size for the Xbox version (secondary source).

Age rating: RP on the official site, Everyone on PlayStation

The official site still showed an ESRB "RP" (Rating Pending) rating badge when read on 2026-11-12, while the PlayStation listing carries an ESRB_EVERYONE field and the Nintendo page's text contains "Everyone". This site reports the conflict as of that date rather than declaring a settled rating.

Languages

Steam lists support for English, French, Italian, German, Spanish - Spain, Thai, Turkish, Portuguese - Brazil, Polish, Russian, Simplified Chinese, Traditional Chinese, Japanese and Korean. The Nintendo eShop language lists differ slightly: they did not include Turkish in the extracted array and use labels like "American English", "Spanish" and "Brazilian Portuguese". Prefer the Steam list for the Steam build and treat store lists as store-specific.

A launch-day player sample (not a peak)

Steam's player-count API returned 512 current players for app 4304060 when sampled on 2026-11-12 at about 22:53 Asia/Shanghai (UTC+8). That is a point-in-time sample only — not a 24-hour peak, not an all-time high, and not a substitute for concurrent-player charts. Steam review totals could not be read in this snapshot (the age gate blocked them), so no review count or percentage is quoted; the PlayStation concept page showed 23 ratings averaging 4.96 (read 2026-11-12, small sample).
