XSEED Games has announced that the long-awaited Western debut of Milano’s Odd Job Collection, a beloved 1999 PlayStation classic never before released outside Japan, will arrive on December 9, 2025. The nostalgic 32-bit era game will launch digitally for PlayStation 5, PlayStation 4, Nintendo Switch, Xbox Series X|S, Xbox One, and Windows PC via Steam, GOG, and the Windows Store for $14.99.
In addition, XSEED confirmed that owners of the Switch version will receive a free Nintendo Switch 2 Upgrade Pack at a later date.
This first-ever Western release fully modernizes the game while preserving its retro charm. It includes English and Japanese voice options, English subtitles, and quality-of-life features such as save states, a rewind function, support for modern resolutions, and trophies/achievements.
A Summer of Work, Wonder, and Whimsy
Set in a quaint seaside town, Milano’s Odd Job Collection follows 11-year-old Milano, who finds herself spending summer vacation alone after her mother is hospitalized and her uncle leaves on a trip. Determined to make the most of her time, she takes up a series of quirky part-time jobs from pizza delivery to cow milking to nursing patients across 40 in-game days of heartwarming slice-of-life adventures.
Each mini-game offers new challenges, rewards, and charming characters to meet, all wrapped in a story that celebrates independence, kindness, and the joy of simple summer days.
Key Features
- Make Yourself at Home: Decorate your uncle’s house, relax with the cat, or stargaze between shifts. Balance work and leisure to keep Milano happy and productive.
- Eight Odd Jobs, Endless Fun: Take on wacky part-time gigs like orchard work and patient care, leveling up Milano’s skills and unlocking tougher (and more rewarding) jobs.
- Retro Charm, Modern Upgrades: Enhanced for today’s players with faster load times, save states, rewind, and full controller support while retaining the game’s original pixel-art aesthetic.
- Fully Localized for the First Time: English text and voice acting bring Milano’s charming world to new audiences, with the original Japanese audio available for purists.
