Duskfade release date, platforms, demo and price status

Current status as of 2026-08-16

Re-checked on August 16, 2026:

• Steam: Duskfade remains released (app 2542020, Windows). The U.S. price is $29.99 with the 20% launch discount to $23.99 still active; the store banner read “Offer ends August 27”.
• Steam Deck: the store’s compatibility data lists Duskfade as Verified.
• Consoles: the publisher’s official game page now shows “OUT NOW!” with direct Steam, Xbox, PlayStation and Switch 2 purchase links, confirming the console versions launched alongside the August 13 Steam release. No post-launch patch or hotfix had been announced as of this check; the launch post links a bug-report form instead.

Historical re-check from August 13, 2026 (retained):

The official Steam appdetails response for app 2542020 returned coming_soon=false, release_date.date="Aug 13, 2026" and platforms.windows=true. Duskfade is therefore released on Steam for Windows as of this check.

Store facts re-checked on August 13, 2026:

• System requirements: the store publishes a Windows tab only (Windows 10 64-bit minimum); no macOS or Linux tab is shown.
• Price: the U.S. Steam price is $29.99, with a 20% launch discount to $23.99. Regional prices and offer timing differ; use the live Steam store for the user’s region.
• Demo: the updated demo remains separate demo evidence and is covered by the official Steam news and publisher sources listed below.
• Features: the listing still names Steam Achievements, Steam Cloud and single-player.

Release status

Duskfade launched on August 13, 2026. The current Steam data confirms the Windows app is not coming soon and is available for the Steam release. The publisher’s existing announcement continues to document the announced console platforms; this page does not infer console availability from the Steam API.

If the storefront or publisher announcement changes, the newer first-party listing should take priority over this page.

Confirmed platforms

The currently announced launch platforms are:

No PlayStation 4, Xbox One or original Nintendo Switch edition is named in the sources listed on this page.

The Steam listing for the full game also names Steam Achievements, Steam Cloud and single-player as features.

Demo evidence (re-checked 2026-08-13)

The Duskfade demo is separate evidence from the full-game Steam release:

• The publisher announcement (Fireshine Games) says “The new and improved demo” allows players to get hands-on with the game, and links to Steam to play the demo.
• A standalone demo app (4023080) is referenced in official Steam news posts, but when its store page was opened, it did not resolve to a listing. Treat the demo claims as separately sourced demo evidence rather than as a confirmed full-game purchase state.

Earlier checks on this page described a Steam and PS5 demo ending with the Wrath boss fight. For a short first-session checklist, use the quick start guide. The realm walkthrough keeps demo evidence separate from full-game routes that still need source or firsthand verification.

Price status

The U.S. Steam store currently lists $29.99, with a 20% launch discount bringing the price to $23.99. Regional pricing and the exact end of the offer can differ, so the live Steam store for the buyer’s region remains authoritative. The August 10 official FAQ is retained as historical context for the announced launch pricing.

The store price and announcement figure can differ by region and offer timing. Do not copy the U.S. amount into another region’s price claim.

Current open items

The official store lists Steam Achievements and Steam Cloud, but the checked sources do not provide a complete achievement list with counts and unlock conditions, hidden-task lists or full boss data. Treat third-party claims as unverified until an official or firsthand source supports them.
