How to Fish release date on Steam and launch status
Dazed Games shipped How to Fish on Steam AppID 4001890 on August 20, 2026, and the Steam store page has been the canonical record of the release since launch day. The release date is shown directly on the Steam product page, alongside the developer and publisher attribution, the Windows platform tag, and the Steam Deck Verified badge. The launch coincided with Steam top sellers, popular new releases, and new releases charts, and the title crossed one million copies sold within 48 hours of release. The store page lists full controller support on day one, including Xbox, PlayStation, and generic gamepad bindings, so the launch build is friendly to living-room setups even though it is a Windows PC release.
Steam Deck, price, and Windows-only status
The Steam Deck Verified badge is shown on the store page, which means the launch build runs on Steam Deck without manual configuration. ProtonDB also lists the AppID and shows community-confirmed reports of stable performance on Steam Deck hardware. Price on Steam during launch week was set at the standard Dazed Games price tier; the current Steam price is visible on the live storefront and SteamDB mirrors it for discovery. Windows is the only confirmed platform at launch. The Steam store page lists only the Windows operating system tag, and the SteamDB page mirrors that scope. If you are looking for the macOS or Linux build, those are not announced as of 2026-09-01. See the [How to Fish system requirements](/system-requirements/) page for what hardware the launch build runs on.
Console status: PS5, Xbox, and Switch
Console release plans for How to Fish are not announced as of 2026-09-01. Dazed Games has not published a PS5 date, an Xbox Series X|S date, or a Nintendo Switch version on the Steam store page or via press release. The How to Fish release date for any console platform is therefore open, and the only way to play the launch build today is through Steam on Windows or via Steam Deck Verified hardware. If you want to check console announcements yourself, the Steam news section linked from the store page is the official channel, and the How to Fish subreddit threads will surface any first credible leak. Until Dazed Games confirms a console version, treat any rumored PS5, Xbox, or Switch date as speculative.
