The Steam launch builds on the momentum generated during the game's successful Early Access, where players embraced the opportunity to explore Avakin Life's immersive social spaces, customisation systems, fashion experiences and live events in a new way. Halli Bjornsson, CEO at Lockwood Publishing, said: "We've seen an incredible response from both our existing community and new PC players during Early Access. Launching officially on Steam is an exciting step forward for Avakin Life as we continue expanding the platform and creating more ways for players to connect, express themselves and socialise across devices." Initially launched as a mobile game, Avakin Life has evolved into one of the most recognisable social and lifestyle platforms in gaming, known for its engaged global community, comprehensive avatar customisation, virtual fashion collaborations, interactive social spaces and entertainment-led engagement. The Steam version delivers the full Avakin Life experience with enhanced accessibility for PC audiences, including cross-platform progression and access to the same vibrant mobile community. Players can: * Create and customise unique avatars. * Explore hundreds of social destinations. * Decorate personal apartments and spaces. * Participate in themed events and seasonal content. * Connect and socialise with millions of players worldwide. * Discover new fashion, music and entertainment experiences. The Steam launch also supports Lockwood Publishing's broader vision for Avakin Life, as an evolving social entertainment platform, with continued updates, new content drops and expanded creator-driven experiences planned throughout 2026. The launch comes during a period of ongoing growth for the title, as Avakin Life strengthens its position within the social gaming and metaverse-adjacent space by reaching new audiences beyond mobile.
