Paralives launches in early access at 10 am Eastern on May 25, 2026. It will be available on Steam for $40. Lucky for those in the US and UK, that's a day off for many of us, so you've got a whole day to drain in character creation.Here's the Paralives launch time in other time zones around the world: 7 am PDT (Los Angeles)10 am EDT (New York)3 pm BST (London)4 pm CEST (Berlin)12 am May 26 AEST (Sydney)2 am May 26 NZST (Auckland)

There does not appear to be preloading available for Paralives, so you'll have to download it after purchasing on launch day. The system specs list a required 8GB of storage space, which wound up being a 7.62GB installation size on my machine. So the good news is, it's not a huge honking game that will take you hours to download.

The Paralives roadmap notes its first major update is planned for Q4 2026, so that's a tentative October to December window. We don't know what the update entails just yet, but we do know it's my favorite price: Free. Until then, the rest of the roadmap outlines a period of hotfixes, bug smashing, and existing feature improvements from June to September 2026. Then there's a broader "within ~2 years of early access" note for more major updates, including a system for weather and seasons, pools, pets, and more.
