Now onto some Important News... Launch!
Our online multiplayer pottery party brawler launches April 23, 2026! If you're excited to play, do us a huge favor and wishlist it now (it makes us feel super important when you do).
Game Editions
Kiln's base game is priced at $19.99. We've also got a super duper fancy Fired Up edition for $29.99, and it's chock full of extras: it includes the base game, premium glazes, stickers, attachments, and custom pots, made by our very own Double Fine team!
Xbox Wire Went Hands-On with Kiln
As you might have seen in our last announcement, we took Kiln to Day of the Devs on March 8. It marked the first time the public got to play the game, and it was a smashing success (pun intended). The folks over at Xbox Wire took some time playing the game and talking to Project Lead Derek Brand, and Xbox Wire Editor Will Fulton wrote an in-depth field report on Kiln that you should take the time to read.
TLDR;
We know it's a lot, here's your summary:
Open Beta Throwdown (On Steam): April 9-11
Official Kiln Launch: April 23
Kiln Standard Edition: $19.99
Kiln Fired Up Edition: $29.99

Phew... That's it, Claymates! Hope you're ready to Get Fired Up for the Throwdown!
