The Lift will challenge players to renovate what was once humanity's most advanced research facility – the Institute. Now standing abandoned and plagued by cosmic decay, it’s up to you as a Keeper to repair the Institute and uncover its dark secrets before they are lost to the void. First revealed for Steam in September 2025, the game was announced for PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X|S during the Triple-I Initiative showcase, with console versions launching simultaneously with PC in 2027.

Set in a highly interactive world inspired by Soviet science fiction, The Lift puts a surreal twist on the handyman gameplay formula, tasking players with a wide range of jobs from vacuuming reality-distorting anomalies and collecting fuel from robotic bees to reviving interdimensional satellite dishes and repairing sentient reactors.
