DREADMOOR costs $19.99 USD for the Early Access base game, with a recorded Steam introductory offer reducing it to $17.99. The offer lists a 10% discount and an end date of November 23, so check your local Steam listing before buying. The optional Supporter Pack has a separate announced price of $4.99 USD before applicable discounts.

Early Access price, launch date, and introductory offer

DREADMOOR entered Early Access on November 9, 2026, and the launch announcement confirms that it is available for PC. The $19.99 USD figure is the announced base-game launch price, while $17.99 is the discounted amount shown in the recorded Steam offer. Use that distinction when comparing purchase options: the introductory discount describes a particular offer, rather than a permanent replacement for the base price.

Steam labels the discount as an introductory offer ending November 23, which makes its timing relevant if you are deciding when to purchase. Regional pricing is also available, and the developer directs players to their local Steam store for the applicable price and discount. Before committing to a purchase, check that the listing shows the base game you want and read the amount displayed for your own region.

Planned regional prices for the game and Supporter Pack

The developer's regional announcement gives planned launch prices for the base game and optional Supporter Pack, with the base-game amount listed first here. For the United States, Germany, Brazil, the United Kingdom, and the Russian Federation, those pairs are $19.99 / $4.99, €20.49 / €4.89, R$67.99 / R$17.99, £17.75 / £4.19, and ₽855 / ₽245 respectively. These are the announced regional plans, so use them as a comparison reference while checking the final applicable amount on your local Steam store.

The remaining announced pairs are Canada at C$23.99 / C$6.29, Japan at ¥2,600 / ¥705, and China at ¥77 / ¥19. Australia is listed at A$28.50 / A$7.05, while Kazakhstan is listed at ₸5,720 / ₸1,490, again with the base game before the Supporter Pack. The announcement explicitly calls these planned launch prices and gives the local Steam store authority over the final regional price, so do not assume the recorded US discount determines your local total.

What the optional Supporter Pack adds

The Early Access Supporter Pack is an optional purchase announced at $4.99 USD before any applicable discounts. It contains six cosmetic items for personalizing your trawler: two dashboard figurines, two flags, and two ship wheels. The developer describes these items as purely cosmetic, so the pack's stated purpose is vessel customization and extra support for the team.

Examples from the announcement include a knitted version of Bozur with his fish companion and a mysterious stone obelisk with a glowing eye. A ship's wheel with a miniature aquarium built into its center is another example of the pack's decorative approach. If you are comparing the base game with an option that includes these extras, decide whether those specific trawler decorations are something you want before spending more.

Deluxe Edition and cross-game bundle options

The recorded Steam listing also shows a DREADMOOR Deluxe Edition bundle, priced at $22.98 after an advertised 8% reduction from $24.98. This is a separate bundle offer from the base game's recorded $17.99 introductory price, so compare the purchase options individually. Read the bundle's item listing and the price shown to you before choosing it, rather than treating the Deluxe Edition label alone as a reason to buy.

The launch announcement names six additional Steam bundles pairing DREADMOOR with Pacific Drive, Cast n Chill, Murky Divers, GONE Fishing, Fishing Inc, or Voodoo Fishin'. These pairings offer another purchase option if one of those named games is also on your shopping list. Choose a bundle because its listed games interest you, and compare its displayed total with the standalone DREADMOOR option before deciding how to purchase.

What the Early Access purchase includes

The developer describes the Early Access offering as a complete core gameplay loop with one major region, the original story, and a wide variety of fish species and mutations. That description gives you a more useful basis for assessing the purchase than assuming every feature planned for the full release is already included. The developer also says the core experience and main gameplay systems are already in place, with Early Access intended to refine balance and polish.

Completing the available story does not end the activities described for the Early Access version. Players can continue exploring and fishing, collect rare specimens, and upgrade their boat and equipment after finishing that story content. If continued fishing and collecting are central to your purchase decision, those activities are explicitly part of the developer's description of play beyond the available story.

Will the price increase after Early Access?

The developers say DREADMOOR is offered at a lower price during Early Access and plan to increase the price when it reaches full release. They currently expect Early Access to last approximately 6–12 months, but that duration is an estimate. Treat the expected development window as planning information when weighing an early purchase, rather than converting it into a guaranteed full-release date.

The full release is planned to add game areas and adventures, more fish species, new fishing mechanics, and further boat upgrades. During Early Access, the developers plan smaller content updates alongside improvements to balance, stability, and overall polish. Steam's Early Access notice warns that these games are incomplete and may or may not change further, so judge the purchase against the available offering while treating future additions as plans.

PC requirements, controllers, and Steam Deck status

The Steam requirements specify a 64-bit processor and operating system, with Windows 10 or higher listed as the operating system requirement. Both the minimum and recommended specifications list 7 GB of available storage. Check those requirements against the PC you intend to use before comparing editions, since a lower purchase price does not answer the separate question of whether your system meets the listed requirements.

The Steam listing advertises full controller support and lists Xbox and PlayStation controllers. That controller information should be read separately from the Steam Deck compatibility field, which is marked Unknown in the recorded listing. If Steam Deck play is essential to your purchase decision, check its current compatibility status before buying rather than treating controller support as confirmation of Deck compatibility.

Text languages and voice acting to check before buying

The launch announcement lists 12 supported text languages: English, French, Italian, German, Spanish from Spain, Brazilian Portuguese, Simplified Chinese, Traditional Chinese, Korean, Polish, Russian, and Japanese. It specifies professional voice acting in English and Russian, with localized text and subtitles for the other supported languages. When deciding whether the game fits your preferences, distinguish the language you want to read from the language you want to hear, because text support and voice support cover different sets of languages.
