Mistfall Hunter Release Date
Launch timing by timezone, platforms, editions, cross-play, Game Pass, and the 10% discount window from Steam Jul 17.
Mistfall Hunter launched July 29, 2026 at 6:00 PM Pacific Time, which is 01:00 UTC on July 30 for players in Europe, Asia, and Oceania. Bellring Games and Skystone Games confirmed the beat in the July 17, 2026 Steam Official Launch Announcement and Official Launch FAQ (Jul 24). The simultaneous release covers Steam for PC (app 3282300), PlayStation 5, and Xbox Series with cross-play enabled.
Games Press and Steam FAQ confirm no pre-download — the game went live at unlock rather than unlocking a pre-load file days early. This page consolidates verified store and press details, keeps the historical unlock clock table as reference, and points to Launch Day and Getting Started for live-client onboarding.

Platforms and cross-play
Steam (PC): Full client with kernel Bellring Anti-Cheat. Requires DirectX 12, 45 GB storage, SSD recommended.
PlayStation 5: Console release alongside PC. Cross-play with Steam and Xbox when account settings allow. There is no PlayStation Plus day-one inclusion equivalent to Xbox Game Pass — PS5 players purchase outright or use storefront discounts.
Xbox Series: Listed with day-one Xbox Game Pass Ultimate and PC Game Pass per ID@Xbox showcase and TechTimes Jul 26 reporting. See Game Pass.
Cross-play is headline for PvPvE extraction. Link the platform account you beta tested on if you expect cosmetic carryover.
Active launch-week deadlines (August 2026)
As of August 5, 2026, two storefront deadlines still matter for new buyers:
Twitch Drops — ends August 5, 12:59 UTC
Mistfall Hunter Twitch Drops run July 30, 2026 01:00 UTC through August 5, 2026 12:59 UTC per official campaign materials on Twitch Drops. Finish partner watch time and claim Twitch inventory before the window closes — unclaimed tiers expire with the campaign.
10% launch discount — through August 12, 17:00 UTC
The 10% off window on all platforms ends August 12, 2026 at 17:00 UTC. US approximate prices remain $22.49 Standard and $35.99 Deluxe before tax during the sale — confirm your cart on each storefront. Full calendar: What’s Next.
Editions and pricing (Steam USD)
Jul 17 Steam announcement and Games Press show two digital SKUs:
| Edition | List price (USD) | Notable contents |
|---|---|---|
| Standard | $24.99 | Base game |
| Deluxe | $39.99 | Base game plus cosmetics and 2,500 Fate Coins (cosmetic-only) |
Standard buyers can upgrade to Deluxe anytime for $15.00 USD. Full cosmetic list: Deluxe Edition.
Console store pricing may vary by region. Fate Coins and Deluxe cosmetics are account-bound.
10% launch discount window
Steam FAQ and Jul 17 announcement: 10% off from July 30, 2026 at 01:00 UTC through August 12, 2026 at 17:00 UTC. The discount window begins at the UTC unlock beat.
During the discount, US list prices approximate $22.49 Standard and $35.99 Deluxe before tax per TechTimes Jul 26 and Games Press math. Confirm your cart on each storefront.
Xbox Game Pass day one — not PlayStation Plus
TechTimes Jul 26 confirms Xbox Game Pass Ultimate and PC Game Pass subscribers install at no additional cost from day one on Xbox Series X|S and Windows PC. PlayStation 5 has no equivalent day-one deal through PlayStation Plus — PS5 players buy Standard or Deluxe unless a separate promotion appears.
Game Pass grants base game access equivalent to Standard — not Deluxe cosmetics or 2,500 Fate Coins. Cross-play with Steam and PS5 still works for subscription players.
Open Beta and launch carryover
Games Press reported roughly 430,000 players in the Open Beta (June 15–22, 2026 UTC window per Steam news). Official messaging suggests cosmetics may carry forward on the same linked account at launch. Steam news promises reclaiming Avatar Frame Bell of Return and Pose Finger Heart via mail, plus the “No, it’s a bug!” social emote for all playtest participants on the same account — see Codes.
Beta experience helps with Returner Woodling habits but does not replace Patch Notes for day-one balance.
Season 1 at launch
Jul 17 Steam roadmap ships Season 1 Soul Hunt at launch — Soul Harvest gameplay, Holy Weapons, Brandrgarde Cataclysm, Collection Pedestal, ladder tiers, free Battle Pass, and Withered Knight Polearm & Shield. Read Season 1 for the full summary.
