77 Solarpunk was developed by Cyberwave's small core team, with funding helped along by a successful Kickstarter campaign. The studio focused on the PC build and on the game's peaceful, no-combat survival design across floating islands.

1111 Shipping Solarpunk on PC, PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X|S, and Nintendo Switch 2 on June 8, 2026 required more engineering capacity than the small team could provide alone. The publisher partnered with Mi'pu'mi Games, a Vienna-based porting studio, to handle the three console versions. The PC version remains Cyberwave's direct responsibility.

1818 By the spring before launch, Solarpunk had passed nearly 1.2 million Steam wishlists, an unusually strong figure for a cozy survival game from a small studio. The team has pointed to that number as evidence that the cozy, no-combat survival design found an audience well before the June 8, 2026 launch.

2020 The studio's public framing across Kickstarter campaign updates and developer posts has stayed consistent: a small, focused team rather than a rapidly scaling studio. That approach made the console port partnership with the Vienna-based porting studio a structural choice rather than a late addition, since the multi-platform launch required engineering capacity beyond what the core team handles directly.
