When does Airframe Ultra come out?
Airframe Ultra releases on November 5, 2026. Videocult and Akupara Games confirmed the date in the "Airframe Ultra Releasing November 5th" post on the Steam news hub, and the date also appears in the official store listing.
The game is a fast-paced battle-racer from Videocult, the studio behind Rain World, published by Akupara Games. You build a racer, ride a hoverbike called an Airframe, and fight through the streets of Megacity West with pipes, chains and plasma torches.
What platforms is Airframe Ultra available on?
The Steam store lists Windows as the only platform for this release. According to IGN's coverage of the official release date trailer, the game will be available on PC via Steam, the Epic Games Store and GOG when it launches on November 5, 2026.
- Steam: listed, with the store page live now
- Epic Games Store and GOG: reported by IGN as launch storefronts
- Consoles: not announced in any official material we've seen
Akupara Games also hosts an itch.io page for the game, where it is listed as in development.
What time does Airframe Ultra launch?
The launch time is not officially documented. Steam release times typically follow Valve's standard rollout, but the developers have not published a specific hour. The Steam news post only confirms the date, so if you want an exact unlock time, the patch notes do not list it yet.
Is there a pre-order bonus for Airframe Ultra?
No pre-order bonus has been announced. The official announcements describe a launch discount rather than pre-order rewards, so there is nothing to claim before release day.
What is the launch price of Airframe Ultra?
The US store price is $9.74, which is the discounted launch price. In the October devlog, Akupara's Head of Publishing explained that the game releases at $12.99 and will be 25% off for the first 14 days, bringing it to $9.74 during that window. The same post notes that the studio worked with a third party to set fair regional pricing instead of relying on default currency conversion.
| Item | Detail |
|---|---|
| Base price | $12.99 |
| Launch discount | 25% off |
| Discounted price | $9.74 |
| Discount window | First 14 days after launch |
What features does the Steam version include?
The Steam listing confirms online and split-screen multiplayer, both PvP and co-op, plus 21 Steam achievements, full controller support and Family Sharing. If you plan to play with a gamepad, you're in good company: both the minimum and recommended requirements note that a gamepad is highly recommended for optimal steering control.
Steam Deck status: Valve has not yet reviewed the game for Steam Deck, so no official compatibility rating exists at this time.
