Get Ready for the Wasteland - We’re Launching 7th August!

Dear Community,

We've got the news you've been waiting for, and we wanted you to hear it here first. GRAIN ROT launches on Steam on 7th August 2026!

Whether you've been with us since the first reveal or just discovered GRAIN ROT through the demo, we're incredibly grateful that you've decided to stick around, share your feedback, report bugs, create content, and simply spend your time playing our game. Seeing so many of you enjoy the demo has been an incredible experience for our small team.

Thanks to your support, we had over 350,000 demo downloads, making us one of the top 15 most-played games of Steam Next Fest! And we’re about to hit 200,000 wishlists!

Since the demo, we've been heads down making changes based on everything you've shared with us, bug reports, feedback, the lot. Our goal isn't just to release more content, it's to make the best version of GRAIN ROT that we possibly can. We've been taking your feedback seriously, polishing every corner, and expanding the game in ways we believe will make every session more exciting, rewarding, and memorable.

Here's a taste of what's coming in the full release:

• New Enemies

• Boss Encounter

• Elite Encounters

• Legendary Gachas

• Many New Items

• New Elevator Modifiers

• New Outpost NPCs

• Complete 1.0 Quest Flow

• 2 New Biomes (and sweet ambience music)

• Spark Abilities

• Many New Hats

• Player Leveling

• Enchantment & Repair Machine

• Second Floor of the Outpost

• More Constructs

• Extract with Treasures, Items & Vessels in the Elevator

• Difficulty Balancing

• Gamepad Support

• Expanded Game, Audio & Video Settings

• Performance Optimizations

• Many other tweaks and additions

This is the majority of content we're focused on delivering for launch, and we're super excited to finally let everyone experience the complete GRAIN ROT journey.

As for what comes after August 7th... don't worry, we have plenty of ideas. We'll share our post-launch plans when the time is right, but for now, our full focus is making this launch as strong as it can possibly be.

Thank you again for your support. We truly can't wait to get the full game into your hands.
