Waltz and Jam launches on December 3, 2026, for PlayStation 5, Nintendo Switch 2, and PC via Steam, according to Flyway Games. The console versions were announced alongside that date. The Steam listing still showed the PC version as “Coming soon” at the most recent check, so the date should be treated as the announced target rather than a locked-in guarantee.

What Waltz and Jam is
Waltz and Jam is a top-down puzzle action-adventure. Waltz wakes up with no memory in Downtown, a mysterious afterlife, and must collect seven stamps to reach the Gate of Judgement. Low guides him along the way. His companion is Jam, a loyal spirit puppy who travels with him through seven handcrafted worlds inspired by the Seven Deadly Sins. The announced settings include chaotic restaurants, castles tangled in light and shadow, and deserts that stretch like seas.
