The key art for Viewfinder.

It’s been two years since first-person instant camera puzzle adventure game Viewfinder launched for PC, and close to two years since its PlayStation debut. The rest of its prospective players have been left waiting… and waiting… until now! Or should I say, until soon? To celebrate the game’s second anniversary, it was announced today that it will be released for Xbox next month, and Nintendo Switch late this year or early next. Viewfinder is a 2024 BAFTA winner, making it more intriguing.

Viewfinder brings pictures to life by placing them into the world. The story digs deep into the ever-changing world, human experience and relationships, meaningful and misguided passion for change, and overcoming loss.

From a press release, Viewfinder’s key gameplay features include:

  • Reshape Reality – Players can bring photographs, paintings, sketches, screenshots and postcards to life while reshaping the world and uncovering what the founders left behind.
  • Exploration is Learning – Players will learn the secrets of the world, the reason why it exists and the freedom to create by exploring multiple hub worlds that are all cohesive and encompass similar, but complex, differences.
  • Endless Experiences – Viewfinder’s narrative is player-driven, featuring an approachable experience for players who just want to solve puzzles, and a rich, well-thought-out world for those who want to learn more.

Developed by Sad Owl Studios and published by Thunderful Games, Viewfinder will be released for Xbox Series on August 12. It will be released for Nintendo Switch “this winter.”
