Outfield Release Date
When the tall-grass survival horror roguelite arrives on Steam.
Outfield is a survival horror roguelite developed and published by Mathis Debaussart, currently listed as upcoming on Steam with a planned release date of July 29, 2026. As of July 28, 2026, the store countdown shows unlock in roughly one day—treat this page as the live scheduling reference until the listing changes. The title is not yet playable as a full purchase; players can wishlist on the official store page and follow Launch Day Guide for hour-by-hour prep.
Steam lists 6 GB storage for install, GTX 1060-class minimum GPU, and 16 GB RAM on minimum spec—see System Requirements for full tables including the likely 16 MB RAM typo on recommended specs. Developer support contact epicvirtualfr@gmail.com appears on the store page for launch issues.
Outfield also appears in GameGrin’s Top 34 New Steam Games roundup for July 27–August 2, 2026; read Press Coverage for why curated lists matter even before reviews drop.
This page tracks release timing as a cross-wiki fact aligned with Updates Hub and content/facts.json. When the date or platform list changes, we update here first, then sync related guides and tier lists that reference launch assumptions.
Platform and availability
Platform: Steam for Windows PC according to the official store listing (App ID 2210220).
Multiplayer modes: Outfield is described as a single-player experience. No cooperative mode is listed in current store features.
Demo status: No public demo is advertised on Steam at preview time. Players relying on pre-release information should read Preview Review for mechanics coverage based on trailers and store copy rather than hands-on demo footage.
Languages at launch: Steam lists English and French interface support, matching the wiki’s initial locale focus. Additional language support may arrive post-launch; note any additions in Patch Notes.
What launches on day one
Store descriptions outline the core loop players should expect when the game unlocks:
- Procedurally generated fields with shifting obstacles, weather, and atmosphere each run.
- A single firearm with limited ammunition where gunfire carries stealth consequences.
- A sound-reactive antagonist that hears shots and footsteps, growing faster and more aggressive the longer you survive.
- Scarecrow destruction as the primary progression vector, granting XP and milestone upgrade choices among random options such as speed and ammo improvements.
- Dynamic day/night cycles and weather systems—rain masking sound, night reducing vision.
- Record-chasing replayability with permadeath-style run endings.
Day-one players should pair this overview with Getting Started for first-run routing and Best Upgrades for milestone priorities once real upgrade names are confirmed in-game.
Release status timeline
Pre-release (current): Wishlist phase, marketing trailers, and Steam feature bullets. Wiki content marked upcoming reflects preview-level certainty.
Launch day: Expect possible server-side Steam listing activation at regional unlock times, potential day-one patch for performance or audio balancing, and first community tier list revisions as players confirm upgrade pools.
Post-launch weeks: Watch Patch Notes for hotfixes targeting footstep detection, scarecrow XP pacing, or visual readability in tall grass—common first-month tweaks for stealth horror roguelites.
We do not report unverified retailer dates or console ports unless Mathis Debaussart announces them through official channels linked on Links Hub.
How to prepare before July 29, 2026
Wishlist and notifications: Enable Steam wishlist notifications to catch delay or bring-forward announcements immediately.
Hardware and audio: Because sound is a core mechanic, plan to play with headphones on a system that meets listed minimum specs once Steam publishes them. Calibrate volume using tips from Survival Checklist before your first scarecrow route.
Study systems early: Read Build Recommendations to choose a day-one archetype—Quiet Stalker for learning, Rain Rider if weather masking matches your playstyle.
Plan patch tracking: Bookmark Updates Hub so balance changes do not surprise you mid-record attempt during launch week.
If the date changes
Steam occasionally shifts indie launch windows. If the planned date moves:
- We update this page and the facts file release fields.
- Preview Review gains a changelog note if mechanics also change.
- Tier and tool pages receive banners only when mechanics—not just scheduling—shift.
Delays do not invalidate prep work: movement discipline and upgrade planning remain useful whenever access arrives.
