Shady Job Release Date

Shady Job has a confirmed Steam PC date: September 10, 2026. Today is September 3, 2026, so the store clock is about seven days out. The Steam page still says the game is not yet available and lists a planned unlock on that day. On August 31, 2026, GAZE IN GAMES posted Steam news under the headline “Release on September 10th + Playtests ended!” That post is the date we treat as canonical, not a rumor thread.

This page is the calendar brief. It does not invent a price, a console SKU, or a Steam Deck verdict. For the closed test history, use the Shady Job playtest recap. For named builds, use Shady Job patch notes. For the rest of the wiki map, start at the Updates Hub.

What is confirmed

The store lists GAZE IN GAMES as developer and publisher. The product is a 1–4 player online co-op physics adventure: construction workers haul a body bag up an unfinished skyscraper and bury it in concrete while the bag fights back. Steam lists Online Co-op, Steam Achievements, and Family Sharing. Local split-screen is not listed. Those facts match Getting Started and the co-op guide.

The job itself is not a mystery. You build unstable paths, shove through destructible walls, ride cranes, and use the Plunger Gun to climb, yank the bag, and pull fallen crewmates back to a ledge. The body bag, building, and Plunger Gun pages cover those systems for launch week. The date page only needs you to know they are part of the Steam pitch, not post-launch DLC.

Platform: Steam PC, nothing else announced

The only platform on the store is PC via Steam (app 4190710). No PlayStation, Xbox, Switch, or mobile page exists for this title. If a console version appears later, it will show up as a new store listing or a studio post. Until then, treat extra platforms as unannounced, not as “coming later” with a hidden date.

Steam Deck compatibility is Unknown. Do not tell a handheld crew the game is Verified, Playable, or Unsupported. Check the Steam Deck box on the store after unlock, then update this page. Minimum and recommended Windows specs live on system requirements: Windows 10, 8 GB RAM, and a GTX 1050 Ti or RX 560 class GPU at minimum; Windows 11, 16 GB RAM, and an RTX 3060 or RX 6600 XT in the recommended column. DirectX 12 and about 10 GB of storage are listed on both tiers.

Price, ratings, and reviews

Steam has not published a price. This wiki will not invent one. Wishlist the store page so Steam can mail you at unlock; that is the only honest “how do I buy it” step this week. Age rating on the store is still pending in at least one region. User reviews are empty because the product is not in libraries yet.

GAZE IN GAMES also made HELLMART (January 2026). That game’s Steam score is a separate product with its own review count. Do not paste HELLMART’s mixed-positive numbers onto Shady Job. Shady Job has no public review aggregate of its own until players can actually refund or recommend the live build.

Languages and features on the store

Steam lists 15 interface languages: English, French, Italian, German, Spanish (Spain), Japanese, Korean, Polish, Portuguese-Brazil, Russian, Simplified Chinese, Spanish (Latin America), Turkish, Vietnamese, and Arabic. English is the only row marked for full audio. Automaton noted Japanese UI support when the game was announced on July 9, 2026. This wiki covers English, French, German, and Spanish pages; the other store languages still apply in-game.

Character customization, first-person movement, and physics chaos are store tags, not a promise of a fashion endgame. Read the walkthrough for how a crew actually climbs, and the roles tier list if you need a job board before voice chat starts.

Wishlist, unlock timing, and what “September 10” means

Steam unlocks are timezone-sensitive. “September 10, 2026” is the store’s planned date, not a guaranteed local midnight in your country. If you need the moment it becomes purchasable, watch the Steam page and the studio account @GAZE_IN_GAMES. The links hub keeps those official URLs in one place.

Playtests ended August 31, 2026. There is no extra weekend wave listed between now and the 10th. If you never received a random Steam invite, you are not behind on a secret beta; you are in the same boat as most of the waitlist. Use the launch checklist and the squad planner so the first paid session is not a four-person keybind argument.

Press coverage in mid-July still said the date was unlisted. That was true then. Dexerto’s July 15 piece ran before the August 31 confirmation. If you find an old recap that says “no release date,” it is stale, not a leak that the 10th was cancelled.

What to do in the next seven days

1. Wishlist Shady Job on Steam from the links hub.
2. Check your GPU and RAM against system requirements.
3. Skim controls and Getting Started so carrying, building, and plungers are not a surprise.
4. Assign a bag handler, a builder, and a rescuer with the squad planner.
5. Keep this page and the Updates Hub open in case GAZE IN GAMES moves the clock.

Treat September 10 as a Steam unlock date, not as a storefront rumor. If the studio shifts the day, this page will follow the Steam news post, not a screenshot in a group chat. Until that happens, the honest line is simple: Shady Job unlocks on Steam for PC on September 10, 2026, playtests are already closed, and everything else on the price and platform row is still blank.
