A product page for The Suika Game (Watermelon Game) appeared on the PlayStation Store, suggesting a PS4 or PS5 version of the game is on its way. The Aladdin X game has previously been a viral hit as an exclusive Nintendo Switch title.
This might also not be the official Suika Game. The name specifically is listed as The Suika Game. Also, GOGAME CONSOLE PUBLISHER is listed as the publisher, while the Switch version is an Aladdin X game. The official art on the page also looks different than the designs on the eShop or in browsers.
Here are the two images to compare.
The Suika Game page currently does not list much information for its PlayStation version. The release date is currently listed as “to be determined” and no price has been confirmed. The store page doesn’t confirm if the game will be for the PS4 or PS5, or if it will be a cross-gen release. However, there is a full English description of the game, which suggests a worldwide release.
The Suika Game is a puzzle game where players must drop fruit into a jar, with matching fruit combining into larger fruit like a watermelon. Ultimately, once you get watermelons, they must be matched to remove them from the jar. It became a huge hit online after being featured in live streams. Vtubers, along with popular figures such as CDawgA and LilyPichu, were a big part of this push.
The viral hit originally released exclusively in Japan for Nintendo Switch in 2021. It did receive a worldwide release in October 2023, although it was initially not localized for an English-speaking audience. It’s unknown if the PlayStation version will feature English text, although the game’s simplicity means a language barrier isn’t an issue.
Suika Game is out now for the Nintendo Switch. A PlayStation version is on its way at an unknown date.
