Orbitals is a two-player co-op puzzle adventure where you play as explorers Maki and Omura, braving the perils of space to save their crumbling station home. Co-op works in local split-screen on one console or online, and the game supports GameShare plus a Global Friend's Pass, so a second player can join with a single copy. It is designed around two players using tools and gadgets together to open new pathways.
Orbitals is a Nintendo Switch 2 exclusive — there is no PC, PlayStation or Xbox version, and it is unknown whether it will ever come to other platforms. With only one platform, cross-platform play is simply not applicable.
Orbitals is the debut game of Shapefarm, a studio headquartered in Tokyo, published by Kepler Interactive. Revealed at The Game Awards 2025, it launches worldwide on September 3, 2026, exclusively on Nintendo Switch 2, featuring a hand-crafted retro-anime art style with animated cutscenes and a localized global voice cast.
