Arizona Sunshine Remake launches January 21, 2027 for PS5, Switch 2, Xbox Series, and PC

Release date and platforms

Vertigo Games has scheduled a non-VR remake of Arizona Sunshine for January 21, 2027, on the Nintendo Switch 2, PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X/S, and PC via Steam and Epic Games Store, according to the developer's announcement reported on October 14, 2026. The project is described as a third-person reworking built on the foundation of the series' existing gameplay, with the developer framing the title as a sun-baked, cooperative action game for solo or shared play.

Editions, pricing, and pre-order bonuses

Two editions are listed. The Standard Edition is priced at $24.99 (also listed as £19.99 / €24.99 / ¥2,750) and includes the base game plus a pre-order bonus called the Desert Raiders Pack, which contains exclusive skins for the protagonist Sunny and his dog Buddy. The Deluxe Edition is priced at $29.99 (also listed as £24.99 / €28.99 / ¥3,300) and bundles the base game with the upcoming Legacy downloadable content pack, the Neon Wastelander Pack, and Fred's Fashion Pack, plus 48 hours of early access and the Desert Raiders Pack for pre-orders. The Legacy DLC, which encompasses the original Arizona Sunshine VR campaign and associated add-ons, is described as due out at a later date.

Gameplay changes versus the original

Unlike its VR predecessor, the remake shifts Arizona Sunshine to a third-person perspective and adds cooperative play as a new feature for the franchise, including the option for a second player to take control of Buddy. The pitch also highlights split-screen and online co-op, with weapons ranging from shotguns and machetes to flamethrowers, and a story framed around survival and the bond between Sunny and Buddy across a zombified Arizona.

Other developments

Separately, Sony has officially unveiled a new limited-edition PS5 DualSense controller celebrating the 30th anniversary of the Gran Turismo franchise, with pricing and a release date disclosed on October 14, 2026, per PlayStation Lifestyle.

Known unknowns

The developer has stated that additional details, including the release date of the Legacy DLC, will be communicated ahead of launch. No specific PC system requirements, regional unlock timing, or pre-order start date were confirmed in the October 14 reporting.

Next verifiable milestone

The next verifiable milestone is the on-sale date of January 21, 2027, alongside the planned 48-hour early-access window for Deluxe Edition pre-orders, subject to any further updates from Vertigo Games.
