Crimson Moon Release Date

Updated September 4, 2026

Crimson Moon released on September 1, 2026 at 1 PM ET / 10 AM PT — 17:00 UTC — simultaneously on Steam, the Epic Games Store, PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X|S. There was no staggered rollout by platform or region and no paid early access; every storefront went live at the same moment.

The Confirmed Release Date and Time

September 1, 2026 is the date on every storefront listing, and the unlock was worldwide and simultaneous at 1 PM Eastern / 10 AM Pacific. Buying the Deluxe Edition did not grant a head start, and no edition unlocked early.

Because the unlock was tied to a single global moment rather than local midnight, the calendar date differed by region — parts of Asia and Oceania saw it arrive on September 2.

How Launch Actually Went

Crimson Moon peaked above 10,000 concurrent players on Steam on day one, a strong result for a $19.99 release from a studio without an established franchise.

The reception split. Critic reviews landed around a 72 Metascore, while Steam user reviews opened at roughly 48% positive before climbing into the high 50s and then 60% as the developer responded to complaints. Most of the early negativity concentrated on missing PC key rebinding rather than on the game's design.

What Has Changed Since Launch

Patch 1.0.0.1 added keyboard and mouse remapping plus mouse sensitivity controls on PC
Hotfix 1.0.1 is in preparation for stability, UI, audio and localisation fixes
The developer has published a running known-issues list through official support
No season pass, battle pass or timed live-service events have been added

Install Size and Preparation

Storage is listed at 50 GB on PC. That is the one launch-day variable still worth planning around if you are installing now on a slow connection.
