Alaska Gold Fever released on PC through Steam on April 14, 2026, after a final playtest that ran from March 12 to March 22 of the same year. The PC version is out now; PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X are listed for 2026 without a firm day. Development comes from Baked Games, a small Polish studio also known for Prison Simulator.
Alaska Gold Fever release date on PC
The launch date was set in a Baked Games press release and confirmed by the Steam page: April 14, 2026, on Steam for Windows. Players who joined the final playtest were offered a free DLC if they registered an email and launched the full game within the first seven days after release. That DLC became the Bandits expansion, which added bandit camps, new mines, and a moonshine business.

Post-launch updates and hotfixes
- Final playtest: March 12 to March 22, 2026.
- Launch: April 14, 2026, on Steam.

Repair behaviour has also changed since release. Tools and weapons use durability and are repaired from the inventory with material such as magnetite, but a recent hotfix left some players unable to repair weapons even though tools could still be repaired. Steam patch notes also show weapon durability being increased and cold damage reduced from every 5 in-game minutes to every 20, both of which change how long you can stay underground before you need to repair.
