County of Fortune Release Date: Steam Early Access

The County of Fortune release date is November 5, 2026, when the game enters Steam Early Access on PC. As of 2026-11-02, the official Steam page lists only Windows and Linux/SteamOS; no macOS or console version is listed there.

Release timing and platform scope

Nepos Games’ own Steam announcements repeatedly name November 5 as the Early Access launch, and the store listing shows the same date with the game still marked “Coming Soon.” Community tracking reports a planned 16:00 UTC unlock, but the official listing confirms the date rather than an exact hour, so treat regional unlock times as approximate until the store button goes live.

The launch is a PC Steam release. The store page gives Windows and SteamOS + Linux requirements, with minimum specs of an Intel i3-class CPU, 3 GB RAM and a GeForce 770/R9 290. It is single-player, with Steam Cloud, achievements and Family Sharing listed.

What the Early Access build changes

Compared with the demo, Nepos says Early Access removes the level-2 settlement cap and allows growth to level 4, opening the Artisan and Patrician classes. It also adds more than 40 production buildings and over 50 products, including ports and sailboats that can move goods both upstream and downstream.

The demo is already free and its progress is intended to carry into the purchased game even if you buy later. One caveat: saves from the older Steam Next Fest demo were not compatible with the newer demo build. The developers expect roughly 6–9 months of Early Access, and say the price may rise afterward depending on added content; as of 2026-11-02 no launch price is listed.
