The Game Bakers shared the second update for Haven, now available for free on PC via Steam, GOG & EGS, PS4, PS5, Xbox One, Xbox Series X|S as well as Nintendo Switch. The so-called Couples Update allows gamers to play as a same-gender couple:
“Haven is a game about the freedom to love whomever you want, and that’s why we’re particularly happy to bring this free Couple update. You can now choose to play the game with the couple of lovers you prefer: either a woman and a man, two women, or two men.
This update will not change the story arc for Haven, and you still play as Yu and Kay, but the game offers more options as to the composition of the couple. Haven can now represent love in a broader way!”
The original concept for the game featured 8 couples with a diverse range of relationships. However, during the production, it became clear to the developers that the team wouldn’t be able to reach the initial vision without focusing on just two characters. Right after the game launch, the developers went back to work on this update to add the alternate couples.
