The Touryst is a game that seemed to appear for a day or two a couple of years back and then vanished into thin air. Well received by critics and players, it's a 3D action adventure set in a sandbox holiday destination called Monument Islands. You can get up to all sorts of stuff, like playing arcade games, surfing, diving in the sea, or solving the mysteries of an ancient civilisation. Out on pretty much everything else alraedy, it looks like the indie title is finally hitting PlayStation.
A PS Store wishlist page has been spotted by Gematsu, showing that the game will release on Sony's systems on 9th September 2021. It doesn't specify PS5, PS4, or both, but it's hitting the last-gen machine at the very least.
As you can see in the above video, the game sports a clean, voxel based art style and has a variety of activities to enjoy. While this Store page has essentially confirmed the port's existence, there's no official confirmation just yet, but that's no doubt just around the corner. What do you think about The Touryst?

Ah yes. I have no idea what this game is but I really like the visual style.
I played this...... I regret playing this*
its aright ish 5/10 type game easy 100%
I also liked the look of it. Downloaded it on Game Pass. Played it for 10 minutes. Deleted it. Haha.
Id be more entertained if I farted into my hand and smelled it
This is barely a 5 hrs game for $20 (thankfully I did PC GamePass)
Makes Ghost of Tsushima: Iki Island DLC look like an Opera and a bargain (either version)
I quite enjoyed this on Game Pass. One of the first I downloaded and 100% the achievements in fact. Lovely looking too.
Played it on Switch a couple years ago & it was fun if nothing revolutionary. I felt like went from super easy to infuriatingly difficult by the end though, particularly the final boss with these falling rocks that can OHKO you (which was a recipe for disaster with this really slow platform you have to ride around on).
BTW, it's NOT a sandbox game & more like a platforming centric "Zelda"-like. You unlock islands in a linear fashion, completing certain specific tasks to access' an island's dungeon, complete it, and unlock the next island. There are quite a few optional activities to take part in though.
I loved this on Switch and was really jealous of the 4K version on Xbox, so I’m gonna double dip. Charming little game.
Was planning on playing this on gamepass when I would get an XSX next month but I saw it’s leaving GP this week. Maybe it’ll be a ps+ game eventually, maybe I’ll grab it in a ps5 sale. Hopefully it’ll get a physical.
Got it on Switch and its really good.
I actually encourage you guys to try this game! Had a ton of fun last summer, just a nice relaxing game with a fun style!
Not a bad little game. Loved the techno beach party! The art style is gorgeous too…
Played it briefly on my son's Xbox, on Gamepass. It's OK but didn't delve any deeper.
I nearly bought this on Switch a few times but never bit in the end. Maybe I'll get it on ps4.
I really enjoyed it on Switch and Game Pass. It's short and simple but with enough charm to see you through to the end.
