Hello there - it's been a while!
You probably thought we abandoned our little, cozy game, right?
The thing is, that we didn't. We worked hard to update and upgrade Hamster Playground after the release all this time ago.
So now, the time has finally come, and we can proudly reveal, that the game will leave Early Access next month!
We can even share the exact date: 11.07.2024
We have some important information, regarding leaving Early Access, so please - check all the information below, but first - check out the newest trailer we created for this reveal.
Watch on YouTube
Right, now it is time for a few important news about Hamster Playground.

The game will remain free for everyone. This will not change.
There will be paid DLCs, skin packs, and game modes.
Diamonds (our in-game currency) will also remain and will be available for purchase to buy some special, and premium cosmetics in the game.
Everyone who added the game to their library during the EA will be granted a gift from us: you will have 2 game modes (Skateboard Game Mode, and Eating Contest Game Mode) and Ancient Skin Pack available for free in the game.
We hope you are as excited about the launch as we are, and you all will revisit the Hamster House, once it is fully released!
