However, the big news is Disney Dreamlight Valley’s decision to remain a paid game, bucking the trend of shifting to free-to-play.

They also didn’t forget about their founders. All unique cosmetic items featured in the upcoming Gold Edition will be provided at no cost to anyone who purchases and claims a Founder’s Pack in-game before December 4th, irrespective of the tier chosen. Furthermore, Founders will also receive a gift of 2500 Moonstones to celebrate this milestone.

For those eager to dive into Disney Dreamlight Valley, the retail-exclusive Disney Dreamlight Valley: Cozy Edition is now available for Nintendo Switch in North America, with a global release scheduled for PlayStation 5, PlayStation 4, Xbox Series X, Xbox One, and Nintendo Switch on November 10.
