Sandustry Release Date and Early Access Status
Sandustry entered Early Access on August 13, 2026. See its release time, official PC stores, current status, and what is known about version 1.0.
Sandustry entered Early Access on August 13, 2026, unlocking at 15:00 UTC. It is available from Steam, GOG, and Microsoft Store for PC; no fixed version 1.0 date has been announced.
Release Date and Time
Both Steam’s release fields and the official launch announcement identify August 13, 2026 as the Early Access release date. The published release-time map gave 15:00 UTC, equivalent to 23:00 China Standard Time on the same date.
Where Sandustry Is Available
| Store | Current product status |
|---|---|
| Steam | Early Access; Windows, macOS, and SteamOS/Linux requirements listed |
| GOG | DRM-free release for Windows, Linux, and macOS |
| Microsoft Store / Xbox app | Native PC product labeled Sandustry (Game Preview) |
The Microsoft page’s “Play with” field lists PC. Cloud streaming is separate from a confirmed Xbox console-native installation.
Early Access vs Game Preview
Steam uses the label Early Access while Microsoft uses Game Preview. Both signal an unfinished product, but there is no primary-source guarantee that build numbers, update timing, or platform policies always match.
Current Version
Steam published the v0.5.3 hotfix on August 14, 2026. Because updates can move quickly, every “current version” statement should include its check date or build number rather than treating v0.5.3 as permanent.
When Will Sandustry Reach 1.0?
The developer expects Early Access to last around one year, but explicitly says the duration may change with design work and player feedback. That is a planning estimate, not a confirmed 1.0 release date.
Prices, currencies, taxes, and launch discounts differ by store and region. Check the store you intend to use instead of treating one regional price as global.
