Release record

When did Graveyard Keeper 2 release?

Graveyard Keeper 2 launched on September 22, 2026. Lazy Bear Games published its “OUT NOW” announcement at 17:02:59 UTC. Steam, GOG, PlayStation, and Xbox purchase controls were then verified in their US listings. This observed sequence is not a claim that every platform or region unlocked simultaneously.

Confirmed

  • Lazy Bear Games’ official launch announcement says the game is out now and was published September 22 at 17:02:59 UTC.
  • Steam exposed its US$24.99 Buy package; GOG showed “Out now” and Add to cart; PlayStation exposed Add to Cart; Xbox exposed Buy.
  • At 18:05 UTC, the official US Steam app-details response reported coming_soon: false, resolving the earlier structured-field conflict after launch.
  • Both US Nintendo product pages retained September 22 as the date, but purchase controls did not resolve during the check. Epic remained planned in the developer FAQ, while a visible store search returned no official result.

What did the earlier US store times mean?

Before launch, Steam embedded a 16:55 UTC app-release field and a 17:00 UTC introductory-offer end; US console listings exposed 17:00 UTC commerce fields, and Nintendo’s preorder sale ended at 16:59 UTC. Those observations helped bracket the window but were never a publisher-confirmed worldwide schedule. The authoritative launch milestone is now the official announcement plus verified purchase controls.

Could you preload Graveyard Keeper 2?

The official US Nintendo Switch and Switch 2 pages stated before launch that preordering enabled preload. No exact preload start time was published there. That historical, store-specific evidence does not establish preload on Steam, PlayStation, Xbox, or every region.

Why might a store show a different date or time?

Stores can localize timestamps, use regional release rules, or change product fields before launch. Check the date and time shown by your own official store or library. A 17:00 UTC timestamp is September 23 in some time zones.

What time is that in my region?

These conversions show the two store-observed fields above; they are not a publisher-confirmed global schedule. The five-minute range is preserved instead of pretending every storefront unlocks together.
