Dutch indie studio Starbrew Games has announced that Duck Side of the Moon, their cozy open-world exploration and crafting adventure, is coming to PlayStation 5 on November 17th.

On the same day, players on every platform will get Homegrown, a free content update that brings new adventures, gardening and spaceship customisation.

Duck Side of the Moon is already out on PC (Steam + Epic Games Store) and Nintendo Switch. On November 17th, PS5 players can finally join Doug on his cozy cosmic adventure, and every platform can start growing a garden among the stars!

The game centers around relaxation, featuring no combat or death. Crashed because he’s overworked, Doug is destined to learn the value of rest! (Or is he?)

Since launching in May, Doug the duck has explored every corner of the galaxy, crafted plenty of gadgets and made friends with chatty rocks. Now it’s time to settle in. With Homegrown, players can plant seeds, tend their own crops and decorate their spaceship until it feels like home. After all, life among the stars is a lot less stressful with a garden.

“Ever since launch, we couldn’t wait to expand on the cozy universe we created. We had so many ideas floating around, and Homegrown gives players more to do and more ways to make Doug’s spaceship their own. After all, life among the stars is a lot less stressful with a garden!”
​- Joost Rol, Designer at Starbrew Games.

The Homegrown content unlocks around halfway through the game. Players who have already finished Duck Side of the Moon can load their existing save and find the new content waiting for them.

What’s New in Homegrown

• Gardening: Plant, grow and harvest your own crops among the stars
• Spaceship customization: Make your ship your own. Gather chromas and customize each piece of furniture and wall in exactly the style you like.
• New adventures: With new characters to meet and areas to explore
• Completely FREE for all players

Introduction

Duck Side of the Moon is a cozy open-world crafting and exploration adventure where curiosity leads the way and relaxation is part of the mission plan. Players drift through a whimsical galaxy as Doug the duck, gathering materials, crafting gadgets, upgrading their crashed spaceship into a place that finally feels like home again.
