Before you play
Release date, free demo & PC requirements
Steam lists a free demo released on 6 August 2026. The separate full game has a planned Q4 2026 window, not an exact release date.
When is Expedition: Into Darkness coming out?
As checked on 20 September 2026, the full game's Steam page still lists Q4 2026: October through December, not a confirmed day. The 6 August 2026 date belongs to the separate free demo. Do not treat the demo's availability as the full game's launch.
What can I play now?
The official demo listing is the place to check access and installation. We link to Steam rather than hosting game files. A demo release date is not the release date of the full game.
Check the demo's requirements
| Topic | Documented detail |
|---|---|
| Operating system | 64-bit Windows 10 minimum; Windows 11 recommended |
| Processor | AMD Ryzen 5 3600X or similar |
| Graphics | Radeon RX 580 Series or similar |
| Memory | 8 GB minimum; 16 GB recommended |
| Free storage | 20 GB on the demo listing |
| Connection | Broadband internet |
Do the two listings agree on storage?
No. At our check, the demo listed 20 GB of available storage, while the unreleased full-game listing stated 8 GB. Use the listing for the product you intend to install. Neither number is our measurement of the actual download size.
Is there a confirmed PS5 date?
The Steam sources checked here do not establish a PS5 release date. We have no verified console date to report; a PC release window should not be presented as a console announcement.
