Paralives Guide Hub
Pre-release Paralives guides for the questions that actually matter before launch: release date, price, Mac support, build mode, Steam Workshop, and whether roadmap features like pets or cars are in the first Early Access build.
Launch model
Early Access
The right question is what is playable on day one, not what might exist later
Current price
$39.99 USD during Early Access
The official FAQ says the price will rise after Early Access
Best hook
Build mode + Paramaker
Gridless construction and flexible character creation are the clearest present-tense strengths
Trust policy
This hub separates launch facts from roadmap items so pets, cars, weather, and town tools are not misrepresented as automatic day-one features.
Best first click
Open the release or price page first if you are deciding whether to buy now. Open build mode or mods if your interest is more creative than completion-focused.

Paralives is an upcoming life simulation game currently scheduled for May 25, 2026 in Early Access. The current official messaging is already unusually useful: the FAQ confirms a $39.99 USD Early Access price, PC and Mac support through Steam, no console plans right now, and no paid DLCs. The Steam page also clearly lists several major features that are planned later in Early Access rather than guaranteed on day one.
This hub is built around that split. It is not trying to fake a complete life-sim wiki before launch. It is designed to answer the real user questions that exist right now: release timing, price, Mac support, build mode depth, mod support, roadmap features like pets and cars, and when it makes more sense to wait.
