Seafarer: The Ship Sim reached its full release on Steam on Sep 24, 2026 and is no longer flagged as coming soon. At capture the US price was $12.49 against a $24.99 list price, and the listing carried ten trailers and fifteen store screenshots.

The published release date and launch state

The listing gives one date, Sep 24, 2026, and the appdetails record reports that the coming soon flag is false. The trailer list tells the longer story: EA Update trailers from one to five sit beside the Full Release Trailer, so the game ran through early access before this date.

Ten trailers in total are published, the largest set among the games here, and their presence in the store data is the closest thing to a launch announcement on the listing itself.

What shipped with the release

The store assets and the job systems are the launch package, and the counts come straight from the appdetails record.

  • Store screenshots: 15.
  • Trailers: 10, from the announcement trailer to the full release trailer.
  • Achievements: 45, with ten names published by the API.
  • Languages: 16 supported, with English and German flagged for full audio.
  • Feature tags: single-player, Multi-player, Co-op, Online Co-op, Steam Achievements, full controller support, Steam Cloud and Family Sharing.

The multiplayer tags are the most consequential line here, because they turn a career sim into a crew game.

How to refuel and what shipped in the launch build

No refuelling step is published anywhere in the store data, and the launch build is described through its jobs and interactive tools instead. Cranes, water cannons, drones and rescue equipment are the named onboard systems.

No day-one patch notes, roadmap or post-launch schedule appears on the store page, and no console or macOS release window is mentioned in the store data.

What is not published about the launch

  • No roadmap or future update plan after the full release.
  • No playtime estimate, so length is not stated officially.
  • No mission payout or reputation threshold.
  • No refuelling, repair or maintenance system.

Where those items are absent from the official record, this page reports them as absent.
