The recent updates, particularly Update 31.0 and 31.5, have introduced a wealth of new content, quality-of-life improvements, and bug fixes that continue to enrich the game’s vibrant community and immersive universe.
Update 31.0: A Season of Migration and Mischief
Released on October 16, 2025, Update 31.0 marked the beginning of a new chapter for Sky: Children of the Light with the launch of the highly anticipated Season of Migration. Running from October 20, 2025, to January 4, 2026, this season brought fresh content and exciting in-game events designed to engage both new and veteran players.
One of the standout features of this update was the introduction of three ultimate items and four new expressions, expanding the ways players can customize their avatars and express themselves within the game’s social spaces. These additions not only deepen player immersion but also enhance the emotional connections forged during cooperative play.
Complementing the Season of Migration was the Days of Mischief event, which ran from October 27 to November 16, 2025. This limited-time event introduced a playful and whimsical theme, featuring a variety of purchasable items such as the Mischief Puzzlewright’s Brimmed Hat ($4.99) and the Mischief Feline Accessory Duo ($11.99). Additionally, several event-ticket and candle-based items were made available, including the Mischief Beak Mask, Mischief Goth Cape, and Mischief Dark Dragon Rug, among others.
Players were also treated to new in-game decorations and puzzle props, which could be used to personalize Shared Spaces - a core component of the game’s social experience. These items encouraged creativity and collaboration, allowing players to design unique environments that reflect their personalities and playstyles.
Introducing the Spirit Friendship System and Daily Quests
Update 31.0 also unveiled the much-anticipated Spirit Friendship System, a new feature designed to deepen player interactions with spirits and fellow adventurers. This system adds layers of progression and rewards tied to building friendships, reinforcing the game’s emphasis on community and shared journeys.
Alongside this, fourteen new Daily Quests were introduced, offering players fresh challenges that focus on exploration, creature interaction, and engagement with Shared Creations. These quests provide both structure and variety to daily gameplay, ensuring players have meaningful objectives that encourage continued participation.
Bug Fixes and Quality of Life Enhancements
Update 31.0 addressed several community-reported bugs, improving overall stability and user experience. Notably, issues such as prop duplication without ownership in Shared Spaces were resolved, ensuring fair play and integrity. Quest-related bugs were also fixed, including proper resetting of repeating daily quests and accurate candle rewards for reliving non-seasonal Spirit memories.
Additional gameplay improvements included fixing the underwater walking bug that previously blocked completion of the “Visit the Hot Spring” Daily Quest in the Village of Dreams, as well as enhancements to Friend Posts functionality, such as restoring the “View All” button for easier navigation.
Update 31.5: Streamlining and Expanding the Experience
Launched on December 1, 2025, Update 31.5 focused on refining the player experience and preparing the game for future content. This update was rolled out across multiple platforms, including Android, Huawei, iOS, PlayStation, Switch, and Steam, demonstrating the developers’ commitment to cross-platform accessibility.
A significant technical change in this update was the new minimum OS requirement for Apple devices, now set to iOS 15 or higher. This move aims to optimize performance and ensure compatibility with upcoming features.
The start screen received a fresh redesign, and loading times were improved, particularly benefiting players on low-end devices. Several UI elements were streamlined: the Message of the Day and social media icons were removed from the main screen and relocated to the settings menu under “Social,” while the “Days left to season” counter was moved to Season shops for better contextual relevance.
New Content and Features in Update 31.5
Update 31.5 introduced eleven new Daily Quests tailored for creature enthusiasts and fans of Shared Creations, further enriching the daily gameplay loop. These quests encourage exploration and interaction with the game’s diverse fauna and player-generated content.
The Shared Spaces Shrines received environmental and location improvements in key areas such as Windpaths, Hermit Valley, and Treasure Reef, enhancing the visual and interactive quality of these social hubs.
In the Dye Exchange Shop, players can now spend Candles to collect and exchange dyes for Black and White variants weekly. The shop layout was reorganized for easier navigation, and the previous 1 Candle weekly collection limit was removed, offering more flexibility in dye acquisition.
Additionally, the Days of Mischief Puzzle Props, initially introduced during the event, are now permanently available at the Special Shops in Aviary Village, allowing players to continue customizing their Shared Spaces with these unique items.
Safety and Social Features Update
To enhance player safety and foster a positive community environment, Update 31.5 introduced a requirement for linked accounts to use the liking feature in Shared Memories, Shared Spaces, messages, and heart gifting through the Constellation. This measure aims to reduce abuse and ensure interactions remain respectful and meaningful.
Community-Driven Bug Fixes
The developers continued to address community feedback by fixing several persistent bugs. These include resolving the Friendship Constellation page shift issue, eliminating the “Language not supported” error that blocked access to Speech to Chat, and correcting quest marker behavior for the 2nd and 4th Season of Migration quests. Additionally, issues with Daily Quests collected on previous days appearing incorrectly were fixed, further smoothing the gameplay experience.
Looking Ahead
With the release of Updates 31.0 and 31.5, Sky: Children of the Light has demonstrated a strong commitment to evolving its gameplay, social features, and technical performance. The introduction of new seasonal content, enhanced social systems, and ongoing bug fixes reflects a developer team that listens closely to its community and strives to maintain a vibrant, welcoming world.
As the Season of Migration continues through early 2026, players can look forward to new adventures, friendships, and creative possibilities in the ever-expanding skies. Whether you’re a seasoned explorer or a newcomer, the latest updates offer plenty of reasons to take flight once again and discover the magic that awaits.
