Current official release status on Steam

The Steam listing tags Ebbtide as Action, Indie, and Strategy, with Single-player noted. Developer and publisher are both ProjectAlive. The developer wrote on social posts that Ebbtide is a solo project; that matches the indie Steam presentation but does not change the release field above.

The trailer above is from the official Ebbtide YouTube channel and matches the Steam page video slot.

How much does Ebbtide cost?

The Steam page did not show a price when checked on 2026-10-22. Treat that as not announced as of 2026-10-22, not as a guess. Regional pricing may appear later without a date attached.

Quick price and platform answers also sit in the Ebbtide FAQ.

Which platforms does Ebbtide support?

Steam lists Windows and macOS only for this app. Windows is supported. macOS is listed with Apple Silicon called out in store metadata (third-party databases also flag Apple Silicon support). A Linux build is not announced as of 2026-10-22 on the Steam platform list.

Demo and playtest plans

A Demo entry on the Steam store page is not announced as of 2026-10-22. That is separate from future playtesting.

In the 2026-10-21 Steam community announcement, the developer wrote that when a playtest is ready, you will hear about it on Steam first. That is a communication plan, not a scheduled playtest or demo date. No playtest window, signup link, or Next Fest entry was announced in that post as of 2026-10-22.

Steam page launch and wishlist milestone

ProjectAlive’s official posts state the Steam page went live on 2026-10-20, after an earlier target to open wishlists in September shifted to October. On 2026-10-21, a Steam announcement titled “15,000 wishlists. Thank you!” went out (author line Son). More context lives on Steam page live and 15,000 wishlists and the development timeline.

What would change this page?

This page will be revised when any of the following happens:

• Steam replaces Coming soon with a dated release or a new status string.
• A price or preorder package appears on the store page.
• Steam adds or removes a platform row (for example Linux or a Demo entry).
• A dated playtest, demo, or festival appearance is posted on Steam news or confirmed on the store page.
• Wishlist milestones or major store updates are announced after 2026-10-21.

Until then, the facts above stand as last verified on 2026-10-22.
