Dinkum’s full 1.0 release is no longer upcoming: KRAFTON says the game left Steam Early Access in April 2025. Its Nintendo Switch release came later, on November 6, 2025. The old “later this month” headline is outdated.
When did Dinkum leave Early Access?
Dinkum first launched in Steam Early Access in July 2022. KRAFTON’s announcement says the full 1.0 release followed in April 2025, but does not specify a day. KRAFTON’s announcement is the source for both dates.

When did Dinkum come to Nintendo Switch?
The Switch version launched on November 6, 2025, at 00:00 UTC, according to KRAFTON’s Switch announcement. That is a separate platform release date, not the date of the PC 1.0 launch.
What changed after the 1.0 release?
Updates continued after 1.0. In October 2025, the official Dinkum Steam announcement archive described the Animal Tracks update, including a train that requires railway tracks, changes to farm animals, and multiplayer and quality-of-life improvements. These were later update details, not features to attribute to the April 1.0 launch.
#1 Best Overall
- A Survival Life Sim with Endless Possibilities: Plant crops, raise animals, and build your dream farm, or roam the island catching fish and bugs at your own pace. With changing seasons and weather affecting how your crops grow, every day brings a new challenge. Slip on your flip-flops to hunt for rare fish, bugs, or ores. Every moment becomes a special adventure!
- Explore and Survive the Wild: From red deserts and lush forests to hidden mines, Dinkum is full of wild places to explore. Hunt wild animals, gather resources, and learn how to survive in the great outdoors. The creatures might look cute, but don't let your guard down! You'll need tools, weapons, and a solid strategy to make it out in one piece. Will you go head-to-head, or set traps and play it smart? The choice is yours.
- Build Your Town Your Way: What starts as a simple campfire and a sleeping bag can grow into a thriving town with shops, fountains, flower beds, and windmills. Craft furniture and decorations to personalize your home, reshape the island to design your ideal town layout, and customize your character's look from head to toe. Invite friends over to show off your one-of-a-kind creation.
- The Joy of Growing Together: Sell your harvest and foraged goods to earn Dinks, and reinvest them to help your town flourish. As your town grows, new shops will open, visitors will stop by—and some might even decide to stay for good. Celebrate with festivals and build a vibrant, lively town, whether you're playing solo or with friends.
Are the PC and Switch versions on the same update?
Not necessarily. KRAFTON’s Help Center answer on Cross-Platform & Updates, last updated in December 2025, reported that Switch supported version 1.0.2 before the Night Market release and noted that updates can arrive at different times across platforms. That dated information does not establish current version parity; check the platform’s current listing or in-game version before relying on it.
