Roadmap to Launch: Milestones
We are skipping the October Steam Next Fest to focus entirely on locking down our waiting lobbies, synchronized spawns, spatial audio systems, ultimate abilities and a few other essential features to get the gameplay loop solid. Instead, we've mapped out a roadmap to make sure Hyper Snatch launches with maximum hype and polished gameplay:
October 24, 2026 – First Public Playtest: This is where we test our core 5v5 lobbies and gameplay systems under load during a tightly scheduled weekend window.
November 2026 – Public Demo Release: We are launching the official, free Hyper Snatch demo 90 days early to squash bugs, gather early creator coverage, and start climbing Steam's algorithms.
February 2027 – Steam Next Fest: The big show. We will be participating in the February Next Fest with developer livestreams, community events, and a highly polished demo build.
March 2027 – The Big Reveal: We will officially announce our exact launch day.
April 2027 – Commercial Launch (1.0): Hyper Snatch officially releases to the world on Steam!
