By When Fantasy Life i: The Girl Who Steals Time was revealed by Level 5 in 2023, it was initially announced as exclusive to the Nintendo Switch. However, a new report indicates that The Girl Who Steals Time will likely be transitioning to Sony’s PlayStation 5 and PlayStation 4.
According to Video Games Chronicle, Gematsu discovered a PlayStation Store listing for The Girl Who Steals Time that cited April 23 as a release date for both the PS4 and PS5 versions. The listing was subsequently removed, but a screenshot was shared on Gematsu’s X account.
A PlayStation Store page for FANTASY LIFE i: The Girl Who Steals Time was published before being quickly taken down last night. It lists PS5 / PS4 versions, along with an April 23 release date (or April 24—due to time zones). It has only been *officially* confirmed for Switch release in April. pic.twitter.com/MlD0UIjOix

Fantasy Life i: The Girl Who Steals Time was introduced as a 2023 title for the Switch before it was subsequently postponed to 2024, and then further delayed to April of this year. Like its predecessor, Fantasy Life, The Girl Who Steals Time is a role-playing life simulation game. The upcoming title will also feature a time travel aspect, allowing players to personalize a damaged island by traveling back a thousand years into the past while making alterations that influence the present and future. Players can also undertake as many as 14 different roles on the island, including farmer and artist.
Level 5 is expected to launch two additional games this year, including Professor Layton and The New World of Steam and Inazuma Eleven: Victory Road. Furthermore, Level 5’s Decapolice is anticipated to debut in 2026.
