Slime Rancher 2 is a 2025 farm life sim video game developed and published by American indie studio Monomi Park. Slime Rancher 2 is the direct sequel to its predecessor Slime Rancher (2017). It features the playable character and main protagonist of Slime Rancher, Beatrix LeBeau, exploring a new location called Rainbow Island. The game released in early access on September 22, 2022,[1] with a version 1.0 full release for Xbox Series X/S, Microsoft Windows via the Microsoft Store, and PlayStation 5 released on September 23, 2025.
In an open world the player controls the character Beatrix LeBeau, a rancher who moved from planet Earth to a far away planet to live the life of a slime rancher, centered around ranch construction and the exploration of the environment in order to collect, raise, feed, and breed slimes, gelatinous living organisms of various sizes and characteristics.[2][3]
The game revolves around feeding slimes food so that they can produce "plorts", which can be sold in exchange for Newbucks, a currency required to purchase upgrades for the ranch and its equipment. There are different kinds of slimes in the world, including some introduced for Slime Rancher 2.[4][5] Slimes react and change based on what they are fed. Slime Rancher 2 introduces a dynamic weather system (including rain, wind, thunderstorms, and lightning) that impacts the environment and the slimes that appear during specific weather events.[6] In addition to slimes from the first game, players can raise new slime variants.[7]
