DREADMOOR steam: Price, Release Date and PC Specs

DREADMOOR is available on Steam in Early Access, having launched on November 9, 2026, with an announced base price of $19.99 USD. The listed PC operating system is Windows 10 or higher, with a 64-bit processor and operating system required. The introductory Steam offer lists $17.99 USD, but regional pricing applies, so check your local store for the price and discount available to you.

Steam release date and the full-release timeline

The November 9, 2026 release date marks the start of Early Access, rather than the finished full release. The developers currently expect this development period to last approximately 6–12 months, and describe that duration as an estimate. Treat that window as planning guidance rather than a confirmed full-release date, particularly if you are deciding whether to play the available version or wait for the planned additions.

The developers say the core experience and main gameplay systems are already in place. The purpose of Early Access is to refine balance and polish, understand how players engage with the game, and use that feedback to shape further development. They also plan smaller content updates during this period alongside improvements to stability, balance and overall polish, so the launch version is part of an ongoing development process.

Base price, introductory discount and regional pricing

The announced Early Access base price is $19.99 USD, while the introductory storefront offer lists a 10% reduction to $17.99 USD. That offer is shown as ending November 23, so the reduced amount should be treated as a limited launch promotion. Regional pricing is available, and the developers specifically direct players to their local Steam store for the applicable price and discount rather than assuming the USD amount applies everywhere.

The developers say DREADMOOR is priced lower during Early Access and plan to increase the price when it reaches full release. That statement gives the intended direction of the price change, without specifying the eventual full-release amount. For a purchase decision, distinguish the announced Early Access base price, the temporary introductory discount and the planned full-release increase: each refers to a different pricing condition.

The launch announcement also names six Steam bundles pairing DREADMOOR with other games. The partner titles are Pacific Drive, Cast n Chill, Murky Divers, GONE Fishing, Fishing Inc and Voodoo Fishin'. These are separate bundle options to examine alongside the base game and the optional Supporter Pack; use the actual bundle listing when comparing purchase options rather than applying the base game's introductory price to a bundle.

What the Early Access version includes

DREADMOOR is described as a first-person fishing adventure set in a flooded world, combining skill-based fishing with survival crafting, real-time combat and exploration. The developers describe the Early Access version as including a complete core gameplay loop, one major region, the original story, and varied fish species and mutations. That is the stated scope of the available version, separate from the additional areas and mechanics planned for full release.

Finishing the available story does not end the activities described for Early Access. The developers say players can continue exploring, fishing, collecting rare specimens, and upgrading their boat and equipment afterward. The full-release plans add new areas and adventures, further fish species, new fishing mechanics and more boat upgrades, but those additions remain development plans rather than a list of features to assume are included at launch.

Minimum and recommended PC requirements

The minimum specification calls for a 64-bit processor and operating system, Windows 10 or higher, and an Intel Core i5-8400 or AMD Ryzen 5 2600 processor. It also lists 8 GB RAM and either an Nvidia GTX 1060 with 6 GB of graphics memory or an AMD Radeon RX 580 with 8 GB. The remaining minimum requirements are DirectX Version 12, 7 GB of available storage, and a DirectX-compatible sound card using the latest drivers.

The recommended specification keeps the same 64-bit requirement and Windows 10 or higher, but lists an Intel Core i5-12400F or AMD Ryzen 5 5600 processor. Recommended memory rises to 16 GB RAM, with an Nvidia RTX 4060 or AMD Radeon RX 7600 graphics card. DirectX Version 12 and 7 GB of available storage appear in this tier as well; the listing provides hardware requirements rather than a promised frame rate or graphics preset.

Controller support, Steam Deck and Steam features

The Steam listing advertises full controller support and specifically lists Xbox and PlayStation controllers. Those names describe controller support for the Steam version and should not be read as console release listings. Steam Deck compatibility is marked Unknown, so controller support alone is not confirmation of Deck compatibility; check the compatibility status separately if handheld play is central to your purchase decision.

The Steam page lists DREADMOOR as Single-player and advertises Steam Achievements. Steam Cloud and Family Sharing are also listed among its Steam features. The listed accessibility features are Save Anytime, Custom Volume Controls and Stereo Sound.

Supported languages and voice audio

The Steam listing shows 12 supported languages: English, French, Italian, German, Spanish from Spain, Brazilian Portuguese, Traditional Chinese, Simplified Chinese, Korean, Polish, Russian and Japanese. All of those languages are listed with interface and subtitle support, which is distinct from having a fully voiced audio track. English and Russian also have full audio support, so players choosing another listed language should distinguish its interface and subtitle options from the available voice languages.

The optional Early Access Supporter Pack

The Early Access Supporter Pack is an optional purchase announced at $4.99 USD before any applicable discounts. It requires the base game DREADMOOR on Steam, so it should not be mistaken for a standalone copy of the game. The pack contains six trawler cosmetics: two dashboard figurines, two flags and two ship wheels, described as purely cosmetic items for personalising the vessel while supporting the team.

Demo history and Early Access feedback

A post from the DigitalVortexEnt account announced that a Steam demo was available from October 6. This is historical demo information, so it does not establish that a demo remains available alongside the Early Access release. If you want to try a demo before buying, check the current Steam listing for an available demo option instead of treating the earlier announcement as a guarantee of present access.

For players taking part in Early Access, the developers plan to gather feedback through Steam Discussions, their official Discord, in-game feedback tools, surveys, social media and other community platforms. They also say they will follow discussions on Reddit and elsewhere. These channels fit the stated purpose of Early Access: learning how people engage with the existing game while refining balance, improving polish and shaping future development.
