Development

My Time at Portia was initially released as an early access game on Steam from 23 January 2018 [3] before being fully released a year later. Three months later, it was ported to the following consoles: Nintendo Switch, Xbox One and PlayStation 4. A mobile version for Android and iOS was released on 5 August 2021 followed by macOS on 12 May 2022.[4]

Reception

My Time at Portia received "mixed or average" reviews, according to review aggregator

Push Square called the game "vibrant, relaxing, and brimming with charm".[27]

The PC version was among the best-selling new releases of the month on Steam.[28][b]

Sequel

In October 2020, Pathea Games announced that a sequel titled My Time at Sandrock, and planned to release in early access for PC via Steam in March 2021, with the full version for Nintendo Switch, PlayStation 4, PlayStation 5, Xbox One and Xbox Series X/S originally planned for a mid-2022 release.[30] However, in March 2021, Pathea Games announced that they have not received a local rating certification to publish the game online, so it seems like early access would be potentially delayed until after May 2021.[31] Early access release was subsequently pushed out further until early 2022.[32] The game released via early access on May 26, 2022.[33] After a delay from its September launch window, the full version of the game was released on November 2, 2023.[34]
