AIRPORT CONTRABAND Get it on Steam

Release date: out now

The full game is out. The date moved once, from 9 October to 28 October 2026, and the studio did not publish a rival-game excuse.

Steam's release field and the GamesPress note both say 28 Oct 2026. A news post on 8 Sep 2026 had promised 9 Oct 2026. The headline on that post uses the day-month form 9.10.2026, and the body says October 9th, so it is 9 October, not 10 September. On 30 Sep 2026 a second post moved the launch to 28 October and talked about polishing and fixing surprises. That is the whole public reason. I am not attaching the delay to another game's launch window.

Some database pages were still saying the game was upcoming after launch. The store record I read on 30 Oct 2026 has coming-soon turned off and a release string of 28 Oct 2026. It is also not an Early Access release: the store categories do not include that label. The demo and prologue remain free apps from earlier in the year.

Questions people ask

Was the first date 10 September?

No. The 9.10.2026 headline is day-month. The English body says October 9th.

Why did it move?

The 30 Sep post mentions polishing and unexpected fixes. No other reason is printed.
