Duck Side of the Moon Lands on PS5 to Launch Garden
Owners of PlayStation 5 consoles can add this no-combat cosmic adventure and its free gardening update to their game library on November 17, 2026.
Updated on Nov. 2, 2026 in Gardening
Starbrew Games will release Duck Side of the Moon on PlayStation 5 on November 17, 2026, alongside a free Homegrown update. The cozy cosmic adventure, which already runs on PC and Nintendo Switch, follows Doug, an overworked duck who crashes into an unfamiliar corner of the galaxy.
Why it matters
For households with a PS5, this adds a gentle, no-combat, no-death game with a built-in gardening layer to the family library at no extra cost for the update. The release gives players on other platforms a new option for their own entertainment budget.
The PS5 release and the Homegrown update both launch on November 17, 2026. The Homegrown update is free and unlocks roughly halfway through the main adventure.
The players
Starbrew Games
Developer and publisher of Duck Side of the Moon, which is also available on PC and Nintendo Switch.
The details
Homegrown adds new areas, gardening activities, and spaceship customization options. Players can plant seeds, grow and harvest crops, meet new characters, collect chromas, and customize furniture and walls. Players who have already finished the game can load an existing save to reach the new content, while newcomers must progress through the story first.
Timeline
- November 17, 2026: PS5 release and Homegrown update launch.
The Home Front
The release brings a title already sold on PC and Nintendo Switch onto PS5, extending the reach of the same game across three platforms. Its free Homegrown update adds a gardening layer that sits within the broader trend of cozy games built around home-building and plant-care mechanics.
If you own a PS5 and enjoy gardening-style games, the November 17 release is a low-cost way to add a cozy title to your household rotation. Check the PlayStation Store listing closer to the date for the PS5 price, which the source did not provide.
The takeaway
A free gardening update arriving alongside the PS5 launch means the Homegrown content is available at no extra cost once you reach the halfway point of the game. Plan a family game night around the November 17 date if the cozy gardening theme appeals to your household.
