That is store data; neither Sony nor Devolver has posted an hour.

It reached Steam in Early Access on July 10, 2025, and the 1.0 release also brings it to PS5. Steam lists Windows only. We found no Xbox or Switch version announced. ## What time it unlocks The [PlayStation Store](https://store.playstation.com/en-us/concept/10018765/) lists the PS5 release as "10/20/2026 05:00 PM UTC." That is **14:00 ART on Tuesday, October 20**, by our conversion. It is store listing data: neither Sony nor Devolver has posted an hour. Sony's [PlayStation Plus post](https://blog.playstation.com/2026/10/14/playstation-plus-game-catalog-for-october-mafia-the-old-country-horizon-forbidden-west-mycopunk-and-more/) gives only the date. On **Steam**, the page says "Leaving Early Access: Oct 20, 2026" and gives no hour, and we found no developer post with one. Don't assume Steam matches the PS5 listing. We first read both pages between 18:20 and 18:40 ART on October 18 and re-checked them at 12:50 ART on October 20: Steam still showed no hour and no new developer post, and the PlayStation Store still listed 17:00 UTC. ## PlayStation Plus and price Sony's post says Mycopunk will be "releasing into PlayStation Game Catalog day one on October 20 worldwide," listed under PlayStation Plus Extra and Premium. The PlayStation Store page shows online play needing PlayStation Plus, up to four online players, and no PS5 price. Steam still listed it at **$14.99** in the US at 12:50 ART on October 20, launch day, and the announcement says it leaves Early Access "for $14.99." Steam's Argentina store showed US$7.99 at the same check, before taxes and subject to change. The Early Access FAQ on Steam's page, written by the developers, says they planned to raise the price at full launch, so check the price before you buy. ![Mycopunk: a first-person view of a gun with an ammo counter in a forest of giant mushrooms.](../../assets/stills/mycopunk-1-0-launch-october-20-ps5-pc/mycopunk-first-person-mushroom-forest.jpg) *A Mycopunk screenshot from its Steam page. Credit: Pigeons at Play / Devolver Digital.* ## What 1.0 adds The announcement says the 1.0 release "will feature a heap of new content, including guns, grenades, modes, maps, a new character, and best of all, HATS." No full 1.0 patch notes are out yet. In two Steam posts on [October 18](https://steamstore-a.akamaihd.net/news/externalpost/steam_community_announcements/1846651706688126) and [October 19](https://steamstore-a.akamaihd.net/news/externalpost/steam_community_announcements/1846651706693025), the developer says 1.0 adds X11-B, a new region on a moon that it says "adds challenge for those who have been playing since we launched into Early Access," along with upgrade tuning, new upgrades and new turbocharges. The developer says 1.0 also brings a new employee, the Mycologist, built around the idea "what if someone got fungussed, and lived?"; a new weapon, the Diffraction Driver, a wide-cone shotgun; and the Snowball Grenade, which uses cryo for crowd control. It says a Supporter Pack DLC is coming "along with 1.0"; the DLC isn't on the Steam store yet and has no listed price. ## Questions and answers **What time does Mycopunk 1.0 come out on PS5?** The PlayStation Store lists 10/20/2026 at 5:00 PM UTC, which is 14:00 ART on Tuesday, October 20 by our conversion.
