XSEED Games Announces Free Nintendo Switch™ 2 Upgrade Option, Xbox One Version, and Expanded PC Availability on GOG and the Windows Store

TORRANCE, Calif. — Oct. 28, 2025 — XSEED Games, the independent-minded publishing brand of Marvelous USA, Inc., announced that Milano’s Odd Job Collection, a charming PlayStation® classic previously released exclusively in Japan in 1999, will launch on Dec. 9, 2025 digitally for PlayStation®5, PlayStation®4, Nintendo Switch™, Xbox Series X|S, and Windows PC via Steam for $14.99. Furthermore, the publisher announced the addition of new platforms for more ways to enjoy this classic: Xbox One, GOG, and Windows Store, plus a Nintendo Switch™ 2 Upgrade Pack that will be available for free for owners of the Nintendo Switch™ version on a date to be announced. This first western release of the Japanese classic expands upon the original pixel-art game with quality-of-life improvements including support for modern resolutions, trophies and achievements, fully localized English text with dual Japanese and English audio options, save states, a rewind feature and more.

School’s out, but 11-year-old Milano’s mom needs to go to the hospital and Milano is sent to spend the summer with her uncle. There’s one small problem – her uncle is away on vacation! Left on her own, Milano decides to make the most of her situation by taking up a variety of part-time jobs in town. Over the next 40 days, Milano goes all in – delivering pizzas, nursing sick patients, milking flying cows, and more – to make this summer unforgettable. And maybe she can spruce up her uncle’s place and have some fun while she’s at it. Highly replayable and featuring charming characters and gameplay that retro and casual game lovers of all skill levels can enjoy, this recently uncovered and updated gem of the 32-bit era isn’t to be missed!

Key Features:

Milano Meets the World: Full English text and voiceovers bring Milano’s pixel-art adventures to a whole new audience. Fans can rest assured that the original Japanese is also available, complete with all-new English subtitles.

Make Your Home Away from Home: Rest and relaxation are important for work-life balance. Milano can style the house with new furniture and decor instead of going into work, and at night she can enjoy quiet time inside with her uncle’s cat, stargazing from her bedroom, and making use of items purchased with her hard-earned wages.

It’s Not Work if You Love to Do It: Help Milano earn money in eight unique mini-games, including curing diseases as a nurse, catching falling fruits in an orchard, and more. Enrich Milano’s skill, mood, and energy in the evenings to unlock more odd jobs and higher difficulty levels. The tougher the challenge, the bigger the payday!

Nostalgic Gameplay, Modern Conveniences: The charm and gameplay of the original release are intact, but improved load times, save states, and a rewind feature help update this classic title for modern audiences.

With emulation done by Implicit Conversions and to be published by XSEED Games, Milano’s Odd Job Collection will be released for PlayStation®5, PlayStation®4, Nintendo Switch™ with a free Upgrade Pack for Nintendo Switch™ 2, Xbox Series X|S, Xbox One, and Windows PC via Steam, GOG, and the Windows Store on Dec. 9, 2025 for $14.99.
