Professional Ship Simulator reached Steam in Early Access on Sep 16, 2026 and is no longer flagged as coming soon. At capture the US price was $36.99 with no discount, and the listing carried three trailers and fifteen store screenshots.
The published release date and launch state
The listing gives one date, Sep 16, 2026, and the appdetails record reports that the coming soon flag is false. The genre list carries Early Access, so that date is the Early Access launch rather than a full release.
Three trailers were published with it, all named around the Early Access milestone. Their presence in the store data is the closest thing to a launch announcement on the listing itself.

Price at launch and the edition listed
At capture the game sold for $36.99 with no discount shown, and only the standard edition appears on the page. The listing attaches no DLC and no season pass.
| Listing field | Value at capture |
|---|---|
| Release date | Sep 16, 2026 |
| Release type | Early Access |
| Price at capture (US) | $36.99 |
| Discount at capture | None shown |
| Editions listed | Standard only |
| DLC apps | None attached |
The absence of a launch discount matters for a $36.99 Early Access title, because it means the price on the page is the list price rather than a promotional one.
What shipped with the release
The store assets and the listing's own systems are the launch package. Screen and video counts come straight from the appdetails record.
- Store screenshots: 15.
- Trailers: 3, all Early Access milestones.
- Achievements: 77, with ten names published by the API.
- Languages: 9 supported, with English flagged for full audio.
- Feature tags: single-player, Steam Achievements, Steam Cloud and Family Sharing.
The tag list is short because the simulation is single-player, and no co-op or multiplayer tag appears beside it.
Tutorial content in the launch build
The store text ties the launch build to the onboarding directly: start with guided tutorials or take on structured missions to earn credits, expand the fleet and acquire licences. That makes the tutorial path part of what shipped on day one rather than a later addition.
No day-one patch notes, roadmap or post-launch schedule appears on the store page, and no console or macOS release window is mentioned anywhere in the store data. Those items are reported as absent rather than filled from the Early Access label.
What is not published about the launch
- No update cadence or roadmap for the Early Access period.
- No playtime estimate, so length is not stated officially.
- No console or macOS release window.
- No mod documentation beyond the tile-based map note.
Where those items are absent from the official record, this page reports them as absent.
