Dressmaker release date timeline
I put the dates in the order the studio posted them, then checked Steam's release_date field, which reads 21 September 2026 and coming_soon false. I did not find a delay. The August post says the date was holding.
| When | What |
|---|---|
| August 2025 | itch.io prototype, about 30,000 downloads in month one (secondary write-up) |
| 6 June 2026 | Wholesome Direct: September 2026 window |
| 9 June 2026 | 100,000 Steam wishlists |
| 28 July 2026 | 200,000 wishlists, date set to 21 September 2026 |
| 31 August 2026 | Studio says the game is content-complete and the date stands |
| 21 September 2026 | Steam launch, Windows and macOS, $14.99 |
| 22 September 2026 | Studio says costs were earned back within a day |
Switch and mobile are on the launch-day roadmap without a month. Steam Charts, checked the same day, showed an all-time peak of 35,468 concurrent players. That number moves. The page date is the check date.
