Launch FAQ

Release time, discount, demo saves, maps, difficulty, and platform support.

Last updated:

This Launch FAQ collects verified answers from Steam store pages, developer interviews, and launch-week community reports for Reap and Rush (地府有点忙) — updated for the July 22, 2026 Early Access window. Use it alongside Updates for patch history and Getting Started for first-run walkthroughs.

When did Reap and Rush launch?

Full Steam Early Access went live July 22, 2026 at 9:09 AM Beijing time (UTC+8), with global Steam unlock following region pricing. Launch price $14.99 USD with a 20% discount for 14 days — approximately ¥39.2 CNY in China during the promo. After the promo, standard regional pricing applies. Mecrew Games and Assemble Entertainment publish; Beijing Pacifier Technology develops.

What ships in Early Access at launch?

Four maps, five difficulty tiers, six playable envoys, the full Fate Stone / Yin Spell / Paper Craft loop, Five Elements backpack management, underworld duties, companions, relics, pets with auto-loot (balloon dog and DD), and 99 Steam achievements. See Maps Guide, Difficulty Guide, and Pets Guide for details.

Does demo progress transfer?

No. Demo saves do not carry to the full Early Access game — purchase separately on Reap and Rush on Steam. Demo veterans keep dodge-aim muscle memory but must redo unlocks. Getting Started covers fresh ledger progression.

Controller and Steam Deck support

Full controller support is confirmed at launch. Steam Deck is mostly playable — community reports cite minor resolution and UI scale issues, not game-breaking crashes. Rebind dodge on Deck before tier three — Controls Guide. Mouse-and-keyboard remains the comfort pick for Metal pierce aim on Envoy Tier List.

Are there promo codes?

No Roblox-style redeem codes at launch. Any future official rewards will appear on Steam news first — Codes Page tracks status. Ignore unverified key generators.

Launch discount duration

The 20% launch discount lasts 14 days from release — not a permanent price. Wishlist notifications do not stack extra discounts beyond Steam’s launch promo unless a separate sale is announced.

Post-launch patches

Launch week expects stability hotfixes; balance passes often follow in week two. Very Positive ~90% reviews do not mean zero bugs — report with version strings on Steam Community Hub. We mirror gameplay-relevant notes on Updates and link tier list impacts.

Is co-op coming?

No official co-op at launch. Roadmap posts may mention future modes — treat as unconfirmed until Steam news confirms. Solo tier lists remain authoritative.

Where to buy and official channels

Buy only through Steam or linked official storefronts — Official Links. Read Review for value at launch price and Build Planner before your first purchase session.
