World of Slime Release Date
Windows Steam demo live since 26 August 2026 — full PC and mobile launch in December 2026.
World of Slime has two release milestones: a public demo currently available for free on Steam, and the full game planned for Q4 2026. This page tracks both milestones with confirmed dates and what to expect at each stage.
Demo — Available Now
The public demo launched in August 2026 and is accessible for free on Steam without any purchase or reservation. The demo includes the first major area, approximately 30 slime species, full capture and synthesis mechanics, fishing, co-op multiplayer, and the first village hub. The demo is a standalone preview — progress does not carry over to the full game, and there is no indication from TEAM42 that the demo will remain permanently available after launch. Wishlisting the demo on Steam is the best way to be notified of any changes to its availability. The demo period gives the team time to gather player feedback and stress-test server infrastructure before the full launch, and community expectations are high that the demo will set a strong foundation for the full game’s launch.
Full Launch — Q4 2026
The full game is planned for Q4 2026 (October through December). TEAM42 has not yet announced the specific date within that window. When a specific date is announced, it will be updated here immediately. The full launch will simultaneously be available on PC (Steam), Mac (Steam), and mobile (iOS App Store and Google Play Store). After the demo closes, players who wishlist the game will receive notifications about the launch date and any pre-launch events TEAM42 organises.
Why Wishlist the Game
Adding World of Slime to your Steam wishlist does more than remind you on launch day. Steam’s algorithm uses wishlists to gauge interest, which directly influences how prominently the game is featured during release week. A strong wishlist count also signals to TEAM42 that there is sustained player interest, which can accelerate post-launch content decisions. For you personally, wishlisting is zero-effort and guarantees you will not miss the launch window.
Platform Launch Details
PC and Mac versions launch on Steam with full cross-play support between the two. Mobile versions for iOS and Android launch alongside the PC version with full cross-platform progression — your Steam account links to mobile and your save syncs automatically. Console versions have not been announced and are not part of the current launch plan.
Regional Release Notes
TEAM42 has confirmed the game launches simultaneously worldwide, with language support for English, French, German, Spanish, and Brazilian Portuguese at launch. Regional pricing may vary and will be displayed in local currency on each platform’s store page. Players in regions with strict internet infrastructure should note that World of Slime requires a persistent connection and is not playable offline.
What Happens After Launch
TEAM42 has outlined a post-launch content plan that includes seasonal updates every two weeks, new slime species added monthly for the first six months, and major expansion areas releasing on a quarterly basis. All post-launch content will be free for players who own the base game, with cosmetic microtransactions as the primary ongoing monetisation.
Frequently Asked Questions
Quick answers to the most common questions about the game.
Can I play the demo on Mac?
No. The August 2026 demo is a Windows PC Steam build. Mac and mobile are part of the December 2026 launch plan, not this preview.
Will there be a preload before launch?
Steam typically allows preloads before major releases. TEAM42 has not confirmed this yet, but it is standard practice for large releases on Steam.
Is there early access before the full launch?
The current demo serves as the early access period. There are no additional early access tiers or paid early access options.
Will the mobile version launch on the same day as PC?
TEAM42 has stated that mobile versions launch alongside PC, but the exact timing within Q4 2026 may vary slightly between platforms.
