In a major highlight from today’s Nintendo Switch Spring Showcase, Nagai Industries, in partnership with publisher Beep Japan Inc., is thrilled to announce the official release date for inKONBINI: One Store. Many Stories.: April 30, 2026, across PC, Steam, Nintendo Switch, PlayStation 5, and Xbox platforms. Physical editions for Nintendo Switch and PlayStation 5 are now available for pre-order.

This milestone announcement follows the game’s recent success at Steam Next Fest February 2026, where it was featured in Valve’s official trailer, and builds on the warm reception from players diving into its updated demo. Now, with Nintendo’s endorsement during the showcase, inKONBINI stands poised as one of the most anticipated cozy titles of the year, inviting everyone to experience the quiet magic of everyday life in a 1990s Japanese konbini.

Restock shelves with nostalgic products, engage in branching, heartfelt conversations with regulars, and make choices that ripple through their lives.
