Cairn is shaping up to be a major independent game release in 2026. It gained significant popularity last year, with over 700,000 players adding it to their wishlists, and its release is just around the corner.
This new climbing game is already getting a lot of attention, and experts predict it will become even more popular when it’s released on PC and PlayStation 5.
Wondering when Cairn launches? TopMob has the official release date and start time information.
When Does Cairn Release?

Cairn will be released on January 29th, though the specific date may differ based on where you are and what device you’re using.
The Game Bakers is releasing the game globally all at once, but the exact time you can start playing depends on what platform you’re using. Some players will be able to jump in on the evening of January 28th, while others will need to wait until the early morning of January 30th.
What Time Does Cairn Release?
Cairn will launch on Steam worldwide at 9 AM Pacific Time on January 29th. However, PlayStation 5 players will likely be able to start playing several hours before then.
According to SteamDB, the game will be released at different times around the world. While the official release date is January 29th, players in certain regions might not be able to start playing until the morning of January 30th.
Okay, so it’s good news for PlayStation 5 players! The PlayStation Store says the game will be available at 9 PM Pacific Time on January 28th, which is actually 12 hours before it drops on Steam. I’ll be keeping an eye on things, and if those times change, I’ll update everyone!
The following table details when Ciarn will become available in different time zones and on what date.
