GRAIN ROT Release Date Evidence

The verified record (grainrot.org, cross-checked against the official Steam page for app 4450620) fixes the access basics: GRAIN ROT is a horror co-op extraction builder developed by Beck & Branch Games (a two-person studio in Sweden) and published by Neem Interactive. It launched on Steam on August 7, 2026 at 15:00 UTC with a base price of $9.99 and a launch discount of $8.99 (-10%) that ran through August 21, 2026. It supports single-player and online co-op for up to four, Steam Family Sharing and 11 interface languages including Simplified Chinese.

The demo that ran during the June 2026 Next Fest was removed from the store in August 2026; before removal it had passed 350,000 downloads, roughly 250,000 wishlists, a Steam Top 15 demo ranking and a 'Very Positive' rating (80% of 356 reviews), on a pre-1.0 build. The game is PC-only via Steam — no console port has been announced, and Steam Deck compatibility is not officially rated.

A store page can change its price, availability and notices after a guide is written. The recorded numbers describe the launch-window state; regional pricing, current discounts, live availability and any future console announcement should be re-checked on the official Steam listing before spending money or installing files.

If a player wants to download the game, the safe route is to start at the official Steam page (app 4450620) and follow the platform's own purchase and installation flow. The guide does not provide unofficial downloads, mirrors, cracks or keys, and it does not promise a free demo now that the Next Fest demo has been removed.

Regional pricing, current discounts after the launch window, live player counts, key availability, any console announcement and a direct official Discord invite URL remain pending confirmation. Treat a search result, an old video title or a community comment as a lead, not as a final answer. Check the official page again before spending money or installing files.

There is also no confirmed redemption code in the record. Any page that displays a code would be making up information, so the site keeps the code field at “暂无” until a real source is recorded.

For current launch wording, use the official Steam announcement history; this page records 2026-08-07 as the launch date from the launch-day verified record.

GRAIN ROT launched on August 7, 2026 at 15:00 UTC on Steam, and the record here is dated to launch-day verification. The developer has not published a formal post-launch roadmap; the 1.0 launch list covers new enemies, a boss, elites, items, modifiers, Outpost NPCs, the full quest chain, two new biomes, Spark abilities, player levels, the Enchantment & Repair Machine and the second floor.

Use the answer at the top when you need a quick decision, then read the field notes when the next action affects your run, purchase or account safety. The page keeps the practical game loop separate from platform, community and live-data claims so one confirmed mechanic does not accidentally become proof of something else.

If a future official source fills the missing field, update the marked sentence and keep the source visible. Until then, the pending label is intentional: it tells the player exactly what the supplied research can support and where verification must continue.

For a run question, carry the confirmed mechanic into a small, reversible test: protect the item, prepare the elevator, communicate the route and extract if the evidence stops. For a store or platform question, pause before spending money and return to the official page.
