Graveyard Keeper 2 Release Date: 22 September 2026

Graveyard Keeper 2 launched on 22 September 2026. All four official storefronts list the same day, so there is no real disagreement to resolve.

PlayStation is the only one that went down to the hour: 22 September, 05:00 PM UTC.

How each storefront words it

Same date, different levels of detail.

PlayStation gave an exact time, Nintendo worked backwards from the discount deadline, and Steam only gave a day count. That is a display convention, not a date conflict.

What it costs now

All four platforms list $24.99, and all four currently carry no discount. The 20% pre-order offer ended with the launch.

Steam also carries a two-game bundle, The Grave Deal. Buying the original Graveyard Keeper and the sequel together saves 20%, which works out to $23.18.

Prices differ by region, so the dollar figures here are not a global price. Editions and membership pricing are on the price and editions page.

Can you still download the demo?

None of the four storefronts lists a demo download any more. Do not go hunting through the store pages for it.

The demo went live on 14 September 2026, and its progress did carry over. The official launch note confirms it: demo-save milestones unlock Steam achievements retroactively in the full game.

Can you still get the pre-order bonus?

No. The official launch note on Steam is direct about it: the bonuses were for people who “purchased Graveyard Keeper 2 in advance”. Buying after launch does not include them.

Nintendo is the exception in how it displays this. Its store still carries a separate Graveyard Keeper 2 - Pre-Order Bonus entry, so the four platforms are not consistent. Check what your own platform’s listing says before buying.

Which source to trust on the date

If you see a date other than 22 September, these three settle it:

1. The Release date field on the store page for your platform.
2. Steam’s official announcement feed. The 26 August 2026 post is the one that pinned the date from “later in 2026” to 22 September.
3. The official Discord and the developer’s X account (@lazybeargames).

Some third-party aggregator sites still say “2026” and nothing more.

Still unannounced

• Regional prices and discount rates differ, so the dollar figures are not a global price.
• There is no post-launch roadmap, so the pace of future content is unknown.
