Beast Market Is Now Available

Beast Market officially launched on August 28, 2026 at 1:00 a.m. PDT / 4:00 a.m. EDT / 8:00 a.m. UTC and is now available as a free-to-play RPG for Windows PC.

Beast Market combines monster hunting that continues while the game is closed with a market-driven decision loop: read supply and demand, choose the next target, and reshape your build around what the market needs.

Hunt. Collect. Read the market. Choose the next target.

Your hunter keeps working while you are away, returning with materials and Hunt Cores. Open the rewards, craft gear, rebuild your active skills, and decide whether the next opportunity is a monster, a material, or a market listing.

The launch build introduces a desktop-style workspace. Open and arrange panels for active hunts, the market, gear, quests, crafting, and production. Keep hunting while monitoring market signals, compare a build beside the workshop, and assemble a market desk that fits the way you play.

Connected to the Steam Community Market

Eligible items earned through hunting and crafting can be transferred from the game to Steam Inventory and traded between players through the Steam Community Market.

Build inventory through hunts, read live market prices, and decide whether to sell, equip, craft, or target a different monster. Steam Inventory and Community Market eligibility, holding periods, and trading restrictions remain subject to each Steam account and Valve's platform rules.

Playable in Season 0

  • 30 monsters, each with Standard, Empowered, and Apex variants
  • Automatic and offline hunting that continues after closing the game
  • Six weapon families, armor slots, runes, charms, and equipment skills
  • Part breaks, captures, Hunt Cores, and limited AP interventions
  • Crafting, research, farming, Grand Hunts, and orb augmentation
  • A market desk for choosing targets and production around demand
  • A transfer path for eligible items to Steam Inventory and the Steam Community Market

Beast Market is free to play. It does not use premium currency or paid loot boxes. Optional DLC is sold as one-time quality-of-life functionality, including storage and automation conveniences.

Planned for Season 1: a server-wide Nation War

Season 1 is planned to assign every player to one of three nations. Combat, logistics, construction, and material contributions across multiple fronts will feed into one shared server-wide campaign.

Season 1 is currently in development. Names, visuals, rules, numbers, and release timing may change.
