After 2 years, Switch players still don't have Stardew Valley-like farming sim Coral Island - and now devs say Humble Games layoffs leave the game's future on all consoles "uncertain"

When it comes to games like Stardew Valley, Coral Island takes the cake as one of the best - but the indie farming sim's future on consoles is now unknown following publisher layoffs.

Almost two years ago, Stairway Games released its highly anticipated game Coral Island into early access on PC. A year later, publisher Humble Games launched the title for PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X/S players. Coral Island never ended up coming to the Nintendo Switch, though - despite the developer's Kickstarter promising it would. Backers expecting a Switch key are now growing more vocal on social media to express their frustration as a result.
