The Dead We Knew Release Date: October 22, 2026
THE DEAD WE KNEW: Open World Survival has a confirmed release date: October 22, 2026, on PC via Steam. The date is listed on the official Steam page, where the game sits at #9 among the most-wishlisted upcoming releases in its launch window with roughly 13,000 followers. This page collects what MAY19 STUDIO has actually confirmed about the launch — and states plainly what they have not.
The Confirmed Details
The official Steam listing gives a release date of October 22, 2026 for THE DEAD WE KNEW: Open World Survival. Developer and publisher is MAY19 STUDIO, and the store page tags the game under Action, Adventure, RPG, Simulation and Early Access — which means the October launch is an Early Access release, not the final 1.0.
The Steam page does not list a price yet (it will appear closer to launch), and there are no console versions on the store page: the release is PC-only for now. The store categories confirm single-player and online co-op for up to 4 players, plus Family Sharing support.
Release Date History & Confidence
The game entered Steam's coming-soon catalog with the October 22, 2026 date already attached, and the date has stayed stable since. As of late September 2026 the page counts roughly 13,000 SteamDB followers, which places it among the most-followed independent releases of its launch window — a signal that the date is being promoted actively.
Early Access launches can still shift by days or weeks, so treat October 22 as firm-but-watchable. If MAY19 STUDIO announces a delay, it will appear first on the official Steam news page. This site will update the date there the moment anything changes.
Will There Be a PS5 or Xbox Version?
Search interest suggests many players expect THE DEAD WE KNEW on consoles — but as of today, neither a PS5 nor an Xbox version has been announced. The official Steam page is the only confirmed platform.
Pre-launch survival games frequently add console ports after their Early Access phase stabilizes. If a console version is confirmed, this page will be updated with the announcement and any date differences between platforms.
