Current release status
The Windows PC version is available now on Steam. The live store readable on August 12, 2026 shows July 31, 2026 as its release date. An earlier local snapshot used July 30; that discrepancy is retained rather than treated as proof of a second release. The store attached to the platform is the best current source for the visible date.

Price and PC store features
The US Steam listing still shows $49.99 on the August 25, 2026 14:18 UTC appdetails
recheck (final=4999, discount_percent=0). This is not a worldwide fixed amount: regional currency,
taxes and promotions can change the checkout total. No separate PC deluxe edition is identified on
the checked Steam listing.
Live Steam Community posts dated August 18–19 now both time a later drop of about 33% to 11:59 PM UK time on Tuesday 25 August 2026. The August 18 post previously said Wednesday 26; that older wording is retained only on the latest news snapshots. The announced sale is not live at this 14:18 UTC recheck, about 8.5 hours before the named cutoff. Full-price buyers can still claim two Sealing Stones before the drop — current grant-on-load steps are on the news page. Do not quote the ~33% figure as the current checkout price.
The same live listing confirms:
- Windows as the PC operating system;
- single-player;
- Full Controller Support, with a gamepad recommended;
- 37 Steam achievements;
- interface and subtitle support across ten listed languages.

Why older dates still appear in search
The game’s schedule changed during development, and publisher material immediately before launch described July 31 as the digital date. The live PC store currently records July 31, while an earlier local snapshot showed July 30. Search snippets and old calendar pages may therefore show May 26 or another stale date without explaining the platform or publication time.
Use three checks before trusting a result: identify the platform, open the current official store, and look at when the article was last verified. This page was checked on August 4, 2026, after the PC and PS5 digital launch update.
Launch bonus context
Perp Games described The Night of the Unextinguished Flame as a day-one pre-order pack with an event, a high-difficulty dungeon, a unique relic, armor, and sword-and-shield weapons. That store entitlement is not a redeem code. Current ownership or purchase availability should be checked in the relevant platform store rather than inferred from an expired pre-order article.
New PC players can continue with the launch checklist and then the beginner guide. Launch-day facts age quickly, so pair this page with the latest news and patch notes, and use the quest and progress tracker for the story and DLC checkpoints available on your platform.
