Shroom and Gloom's release date is September 10, 2026, the day it entered Steam Early Access for Windows and macOS. The publisher's product page is dated with that day, and the Steam store page lists the same release date while marking the build as Early Access rather than a finished 1.0. Nobody has announced when the full release will arrive.
The Early Access Launch
The launch was a standard Early Access opening: a paid build on Steam at $14.99, a separate free demo app, and a free prototype on itch.io that predates both. The Steam page describes the game as an Early Access dungeon crawler, and the developer's own framing calls the itch build an early prototype exploring whether the game could become a full release.
| Fact | Value |
|---|---|
| Release date | September 10, 2026 |
| Release type | Steam Early Access, not 1.0 |
| US price | $14.99 |
| Platforms | Windows and macOS |
| Studio | Team Lazerbeam, published by Devolver Digital |
- Early Access means content and balance are still moving.
- The itch prototype and Steam demo are both free ways to try it first.
- The Steam page lists Early Access alongside Adventure and Indie.
- The game is single-player only, so there is no launch-day server load.
1.0, Consoles and the Road Ahead
What comes after Early Access is the part with the least information. No 1.0 window is published, and because no console version is confirmed, there is no console release date to track either. The Early Access notes referenced by community guides describe two pathways, unique characters and roughly 300 explore and combat cards per pathway, which gives a sense of how much content is still being filled in.

| 1.0 release date | Not announced |
| Console release date | Not applicable, no console version confirmed |
| Early Access content | Two pathways, unique characters, around 300 cards per pathway |

- Expect the full game to add cards, meta-progression and more enemies.
- Watch the Steam news feed for the 1.0 announcement rather than third-party dates.
- Re-check the demo page for updates during Early Access.
- Any specific future date quoted without a developer source should be treated as unconfirmed.
FAQ
When did Shroom and Gloom release?
September 10, 2026, when it entered Steam Early Access for Windows and macOS. The publisher product page is dated September 10, 2026, and the Steam store page lists the same release date for the Early Access build. It is not a finished 1.0 release.
Is Shroom and Gloom still in Early Access?
Yes. Steam lists Early Access as a genre on the store page, and the official text describes the game as an Early Access dungeon crawler. That means the content described for the full game, including hundreds of cards and deep meta-progression, is still the target rather than the shipped state.
When is the 1.0 release date?
Not announced. No 1.0 date appears on the Steam page, the publisher product page or the itch page, and nothing in the material found for this page names a full-release window. Treat any specific 1.0 date you see quoted as unconfirmed.
How much does Shroom and Gloom cost in Early Access?
$14.99 in the US on Steam, with no active discount at the time of writing. The itch.io version is a separate free prototype rather than a priced edition, and a Steam demo app is also available so you can try the build before buying.
Will Shroom and Gloom come to consoles?
No console release has been announced, and no console release date exists because no console version is confirmed. Every platform line on the official pages refers to Windows and macOS. A console launch would need a separate announcement from Team Lazerbeam and Devolver Digital.
