If you’ve been on the lookout for a soothing gaming experience, the acclaimed clicker base-building adventure, Outpath, may just be the perfect fit. Originally launched on October 16, 2023, by solo developer David Moralejo Sánchez and published by GrabTheGames and UpgradePoint, this title has already garnered a loyal following on PC, boasting an impressive 94% positive rating on Steam. Now, console enthusiasts can join in on the fun with its unique blend of tranquil exploration, cozy crafting, and idle progression.
Set to release on February 19, 2026, for Nintendo Switch, PlayStation 5, and Xbox Series X/S, Outpath draws inspiration from the music and iconic pixel art style of Minecraft, the progression mechanics of Forager and Satisfactory, and the unrestricted farming charm of Stardew Valley. The game invites players to “exploit your environment, craft, build, and automate your base” within a captivating 3D first-person platformer setting. A trailer is available for those curious to see if it aligns with their gaming preferences.
What do fans think of Outpath?
Feedback from players has been largely positive. One Steam user remarked, “Simple, engaging, easy to pick up and put down, there are so many positives to this charming little game that keep me coming back to do playthroughs over and over again.” They further expressed excitement about the game’s progression and the delightful design of the islands, stating, “I am always excited to find the next tier of things.”
Another player shared their enthusiasm, noting, “I racked up 41 hours on this and I just loved it and wanted more. It had incredible crafting techniques which I loved and you unlock new islands to acquire skill books.” However, not all feedback has been glowing; one user pointed out that “the progression is often very unclear and even when you know what to do it still feels painfully slow.” This sentiment may resonate with those who find idle games less appealing, but for others, the flexibility of gameplay allows for both active and idle play styles.

Pricing details for the PlayStation Store and Microsoft Digital Store have yet to be announced.
