When it launches
SEGA’s official site lists January 15, 2027. The game was previously described as a winter 2026/2027 release before the firm date was confirmed.
Steam’s API returns January 14, 2027. That is most likely a time-zone display difference — Japan is ahead of the US, so a January 15 Japan-time unlock can appear as January 14 on a US store page. We are treating January 15 as the official date.
The exact unlock hour has not been announced. SEGA has not posted a regional unlock schedule, preload time or early-access window.
What it costs
| Edition | US price | Where |
|---|---|---|
| Standard | $69.99 | Steam, PS Store, Xbox Store, physical retail |
| Digital Deluxe | $89.99 | Digital only |
| Collector’s Edition | $129.99 | Physical, PS5 or Xbox Series X|S |
The $69.99 standard price is confirmed by the Steam API at our November 14, 2026 check. The Deluxe and Collector’s prices come from US retail listings and major outlets; SEGA’s own page does not print a price. See editions and pre-order for exactly what each version includes.
Platforms

- Xbox on PC
- Xbox Cloud Gaming
- Steam (Windows)
It is a single-player game. No co-op, multiplayer or cross-save feature has been announced. Xbox lists it as an Xbox Play Anywhere title, and it is a day-one Xbox Game Pass release.
No PS4, Xbox One or Nintendo Switch 2 version has been announced. The “Switch 2” search spike is speculation, not an announcement.
What to do before launch
- Decide whether you need to buy it — if you have Game Pass, the standard game is included at launch; the Deluxe upgrades and the Collector’s Edition are separate purchases.
- Pick an edition — the Deluxe adds an outfit, four weapons, four performers, three stage-production items, a record player and a camera. The full comparison is on editions and pre-order.
- Pre-order if you want the weapon — the Dosu: Kagekiri pre-order weapon is tied to pre-orders and purchases, and SEGA has not said whether Game Pass players receive it.
- Read the confirmed systems — combat, Showbiz and minigames, the five eras and the full cast.
What is still unclear
- The exact unlock hour and whether there is a preload.
- Whether the game has a day-one patch and how large it is.
- Which Game Pass tier is required (the official site lists Game Pass without itemizing).
- Whether the pre-order weapon is included with Game Pass.
- Regional prices outside the US, Japan and Hong Kong listings we checked.
