When Fantasy Life i: The Girl Who Steals Time was unveiled by Level 5 in 2023, the game was originally announced as only going to Nintendo Switch. However, a new report suggests that The Girl Who Steals Time is also making the leap to Sony’s PlayStation 5 and PlayStation 4.
Via Video Games Chronicle, Gematsu spotted a PlayStation Store page for The Girl Who Steals Time that listed April 23 as a release date for both the PS4 and PS5 versions. The page was subsequently removed, but a screencap was posted on Gematsu’s X account.

Fantasy Life i: The Girl Who Steals Time was announced as a 2023 title for Switch before it was subsequently delayed to 2024 and again to April of this year. Like its predecessor, Fantasy Life, The Girl Who Steals Time is a role-playing life simulation game. The new game also introduces a time travel element, as players will be able to customize a ruined island by going back one thousand years into the past while making changes that affect the present and future. Players can also assume up to 14 different jobs on the island, including farmer and artist.
Level 5 is also planning to release two other games this year, including Professor Layton and The New World of Steam and Inazuma Eleven: Victory Road. Additionally, Level 5’s Decapolice is expected to follow in 2026.
