Pricing Model: How Much Does Loftia Cost?

Unlike conventional MMOs that charge predatory monthly subscriptions or pay-to-win mechanics, Loftia is built on an ethical Buy-to-Play business model:

  • Standard Base Price: $29.99 USD (with regional Steam pricing implemented across South America, Southeast Asia, and Europe).
  • Launch Week Discount: $24.89 USD (15% off) available during the initial 7-day launch window.
  • Zero Subscription Fees: Pay once and play forever. All server access, future content patches, seasonal sky festivals, and community tree milestones are completely free.
  • Microtransactions Policy: Qloud Games has confirmed that all microtransactions are strictly non-pay-to-win, consisting solely of optional aesthetic clothing styles, pet bandanas, and decorative furniture sets.

Supported Platforms & Storefronts

1. PC (Windows)

Available simultaneously on Steam and the Epic Games Store. Supports DirectX 11, DirectX 12, full mouse & keyboard remapping, and native 4K ultrawide displays.

2. Mac (macOS / Apple Silicon)

Loftia features native ARM64 compilation for Apple Silicon hardware (M1, M2, M3, M4 Macs and MacBooks). Players on macOS Sonoma and later can download directly via Steam or the Epic Games Launcher.

3. Steam Deck & Handheld PCs

Loftia is fully Steam Deck Verified from launch day. The game includes:

  • Seamless controller glyph integration (ABXY and PlayStation icon sets).
  • Default 1280Γ—800 16:10 aspect ratio scaling with legible UI fonts.
  • Pre-compiled shader cache to eliminate traversal stutter across floating districts.
  • A dedicated 40Hz battery mode yielding ~3.5 hours of continuous play on a single charge.

4. Nintendo Switch (Coming 2027)

The Nintendo Switch edition was one of the primary stretch goals funded during the $1.2M+ Kickstarter campaign. Qloud Games is currently optimizing memory overhead for the Switch's hardware, with a planned target release window in 2027.

Cross-Play & Cross-Progression

Can you play with friends across different storefronts?

  • Steam & Epic Games Crossplay: Fully operational on Day 1. Players on Steam can freely join neighborhoods, trade crops, and construct world projects with players on Epic Games.
  • Cross-Progression (Cloud Sync): By linking your game client to a free Qloud Games website account, your character inventory, unlocked furniture blueprints, and island homestead progression will synchronize when the Switch edition launches in 2027.
