The garden is no place for polite company anymore. Planted!, the chaotic multiplayer party game about hurling homegrown produce at your friends, has arrived on PC, and it is bringing its eight arenas of horticultural warfare to Steam with a launch discount.

Cloth Cat Games, a studio based in Cardiff, and publisher Curveball Games have launched Planted! on PC today, November 9, 2026. The PC release joins the PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X|S versions, which launched on October 29, and the Steam version is available with a 10 percent discount as a thank-you to PC players for their patience.

Planted! is a game for one to four players built around extreme gardening. Players sow, grow and throw produce at goals and at each other to score points and be crowned the champion, battling across eight multiplayer arenas that range from windy mountainsides and cavernous cave systems to half-built skyscrapers and active volcanoes, with allotments and farmyards thrown in for good measure. Power-ups such as weed bombs, spud turrets and eerily green clones keep every match unpredictable, and the game supports local play and online crossplay.

There is a single-player story mode for anyone who wants to practice before facing friends. It offers cutthroat competitive gardening across different locations, with challenges and boss battles, and the skills players learn there translate directly into multiplayer matches.

Ben Cawthorne, Creative Producer at Cloth Cat Games, said: “We are super stoked that Planted! launches today on PC and consoles – what started as a fun prototype for us to test out our weird and wacky ideas on, has become a game the whole team has poured so much heart and soul into. We can’t wait to see players face off against their friends in extreme gardening, and we hope they have fun tangling with different tactics and flinging the produce they produce to score big points!” Ed Gregory, Senior Publishing Manager at Curveball Games, added: “Launching a game is always a momentous milestone – and the Cloth Cat team have created something really special with Planted! – the perfect game to boot up with your friends as you throw giant carrots (or onions, their choice) at one another.”

Planted! is out now digitally on PC, PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X|S, with a physical PlayStation 5 edition arriving in time for Christmas. A Nintendo Switch version is planned digitally for early 2027, with a physical edition to follow later that year.

There is a place at the bottom of the sea where civilizations go to die, and next week you get to dive into it. Aquanaut, a compact twin-stick bullet hell roguelike, arrives on PC and Mac on November 11, armed with bubbles, bullets and a lot of miscellaneous garbage.

Developer Jacob V and publisher Pixeljam are bringing Aquanaut to PC on November 11, 2026, with Mac support as well. The game takes place in the Grand Deep, where the ruins of countless eras have been drawn in over untold eons, and where the Adventurer’s Guild is eager to claim its share of the bounty.

Aquanaut is a compact twin-stick bullet hell action roguelike spanning three unique regions, each with its own obstacles, enemies and challenges. The deeper you get, the more absurd the opposition becomes, so choosing items and strategy wisely matters.

Players build out their character with more than 60 weird and powerful artifacts. They can drop anchors on things they dislike, sprout eyes in the back of their skull, summon abominable eel gods to clear entire rooms of foes, and, as the game puts it, boost their damage by 10 percent.

Waiting in the depths are more than 20 enemies and six menacing bosses, ready to push any build, and any player’s skills, to their limits. As the game says: prepare yourself, machine – the Deep awaits…

Aquanaut launches November 11, 2026 on PC, also available on Mac OS. It needs only Windows 10 or higher, a 1 Ghz CPU, 2 GB of RAM and 500 MB of storage.
