Bunny Garden 2 opened at No. 1 on Steam’s paid charts in Japan days after launch, giving qureate a fast early sales signal on PC. (steamcommunity.com) The sequel released on April 16, 2026 in Japan Standard Time for Nintendo Switch and PC via Steam. qureate announced the date in March, and SteamDB lists the game’s release as April 15 at 18:00 Coordinated Universal Time, which is April 16 in Japan. (gematsu.com) (steamdb.info) On Nintendo’s Japanese download chart, Bunny Garden 2 was listed at No. 13 when checked on April 18, behind Tomodachi Collection: Wakuwaku Seikatsu at No. 1 and Pokémon Champions + Starter Pack at No. 2. My Nintendo Store also showed Bunny Garden 2 priced at 3,132 yen, marked 10% off. (store-jp.nintendo.com) The ranking split shows how the game is landing across two different storefronts. Steam’s paid chart measures current sales momentum, while Nintendo’s store page displays a broader download ranking that includes older evergreen titles like Minecraft, Animal Crossing: New Horizons and Super Smash Bros. Ultimate. (store-jp.nintendo.com) (steamdb.info) That matters for qureate because the first Bunny Garden was already a recognizable niche hit on PC. Steam Charts shows the original surged to a monthly peak of 3,424 concurrent players in April 2024, then settled into much smaller long-tail numbers through 2025 and 2026. (steamcharts.com) Bunny Garden 2 is a direct sequel to that formula. qureate’s Steam announcement described it as a new romance adventure set in the same “gentlemen’s retreat,” and Gematsu reported that returning character Kana joined new characters Kuon and Runa. (steamcommunity.com) (gematsu.com) qureate has kept the series concentrated in Japan-facing channels even as overseas players track it on Steam. The company’s Japanese storefront and official site list Bunny Garden 2 alongside other qureate releases, with the Switch version sold directly through Nintendo’s Japanese store. (qureate.co.jp) (store-jp.nintendo.com) For now, the clearest fact is that Bunny Garden 2 found immediate buyers in Japan on launch week. Whether that turns into a longer run will show up in the next storefront updates, but the opening chart positions were strong enough to put it next to some of the country’s biggest console brands.
