Kyrune shows what's coming to PS5, PC and Switch 2. That's it. No library, no backlog, no social feed. Open it, see the next launches, build your wishlist. Games without a date yet show up too, marked "TBA". Other apps hide those; here they stay in view, because that's what you came to track. What you get: • A radar of this month's launches and what's next, filtered by platform: PS5, PC or Switch 2 • A monthly calendar with every launch marked by platform • Search that reaches games beyond the feed window, remakes and remasters included • A wishlist grouped by platform that moves between devices through iCloud • iPhone and iPad, portrait and landscape, in English and Portuguese Premium, one-time purchase, no subscription: • An unlimited wishlist • A launch-day alert for the games you follow • Extra themes, including a light one • A home-screen widget and a launch-day Live Activity Kyrune does one thing well: it tells you what's coming.
