There's always another lovely indie game to play, isn't there? They're flippin' everywhere these days, but you won't hear us complaining. Last year saw the arrival of Unpacking on other platforms, and the cosy, chilled out experience picked up a lot of praise. Fortunately, developer Witch Beam is bringing its game to PlayStation 5 and PS4 "soon".
If you're unaware, Unpacking is a game that's all about, well, unpacking. You'll go from room to room, opening up boxes and removing all kinds of paraphernalia in order to place them in the character's new home. There's very little in the way of challenge here — it's all about the methodical process of getting everything just how you like it. Along the journey, you'll also slowly learn more about the protagonist's life, with a subtle narrative told through her belongings. You can see how it looks in the above trailer.
If you're a collector, you might be pleased to learn that Unpacking isn't just getting a PlayStation Store release. It's also heading to retail courtesy of Limited Run Games. Pre-orders for this edition are live now, although there's currently no confirmed release date.

This looked like a really neat and enticing game, so I got it on Steam but refunded after about an hour. I wish I knew the contents of the boxes in totality before having to decorate piece by piece without knowing the whole puzzle, as it were.
I would surmise that an exclusivity deal has ended, but since it seems to have come to every platform but the PlayStation, the logical answer is that Sony simply neglected to give the developers a dev kit. There are only so many to go around after all.
It's a nice and relaxing game and doesn't take long to get the achievements/trophy's for those who hunt em
Honestly a great game to just chill out with.
Played it on GamePass last month and found it oddly satisfying. Only stopped cause I knew it’d eventually come to PlayStation and I want those trophies.
Perfect podcast and play game.
Fun to play if you want to just play it, if you want another easy platinum it’s like 2 hours at most, but I think in reality it’s like less than an hour to do everything in the game assuming the trophy list is the same as the Xbox achievement list(Ended up completing this on GamePass for a friend using the cloud streaming)
I hope theirs a good selection of indie games in these new PS Plus tiers.
One of my favourite games of last year. Always loved that art style and the game is just a relaxing few hours. I’ll play it again on PS5 for sure.
Its a fun, relaxing title. I did like the story telling element to it, if you paid attention to the stuff you are unpacking.
