Games like Loftia
Loftia is a paid solarpunk MMO with no combat, on PC and Mac from November 3, 2026. If that mix is wrong for you, pick from the groups below. Each price and date is from the store page linked, checked October 23, 2026.
I only kept games whose Steam or Nintendo pages I could point at. Petit Planet shows up in search next to Loftia and I did not verify a store listing, so it is not in the table. The solarpunk floating-island brief is still Loftia’s. These other games share a verb (farm, decorate, play online), not the setting.
By the thing you are shopping for
Prices move. The figure is the list price on the cited page, not a promise that a sale is running.
| If you want | Look at | Store fact used here |
|---|---|---|
| Free and already online | Palia | Free on Steam since March 25, 2024 |
| Free, already online, different tone | Heartopia | Free on Steam since January 16, 2026 |
| A paid multiplayer farm | Coral Island | $29.99, released November 14, 2023 |
| A cheaper solo-or-co-op farm | Stardew Valley | $14.99, Windows, Mac, and Linux |
| A Switch life sim with your own island | Animal Crossing: New Horizons | Nintendo Switch base game: $59.99 USD; DLC sold separately |
Choose by the part you want to keep
A shared farming or decorating loop does not imply the same online structure. Check the linked store’s platform and multiplayer requirements before buying.
- Palia: choose it for an already available free online life sim with gathering, housing and optional NPC romance. Its free entry and existing console clients are the main practical differences.
- Heartopia: choose it for hobby activities and a shared town, especially if you need iOS or Android. Loftia has no announced phone client.
- Coral Island: choose it for a farm-focused paid game with co-op for up to four farmers. A small co-op farm is a different structure from Loftia’s MMO neighborhoods.
- Stardew Valley: choose it for solo or co-op farming with an offline solo option and Windows, Mac or Linux support. Loftia requires an online connection.
- Animal Crossing: New Horizons: choose it for a Nintendo Switch island and decorating routine. It is a separate console purchase, with optional visits rather than Loftia’s required online MMO connection.
What none of them replace
Stardew and Animal Crossing are not MMOs with a required connection. Loftia’s FAQ says the game needs broadband and has no offline mode. Coral Island’s Steam page is a farm sim with multiplayer, not a solarpunk MMO from Qloud Games.
If the question is “what else is solarpunk, online, and buy-to-play,” this check did not find a second store page that matches all three. That is a gap, not a hidden Loftia mode.
