Slay the Spire 2 Launches in Early Access on Steam on 5 March 2026
- Slay the Spire 2 entered Early Access on Steam on 5 March 2026 for Windows, macOS and Linux, after Mega Crit moved it from its original 2025 window to March 2026 for more polish[1][2][5]
- It is a roguelike deckbuilder in which players climb the Spire, building a deck from cards and relics to fight bizarre monsters; the sequel has five characters (Ironclad, Silent, Defect, plus the new Necrobinder and Regent), alternate versions of each act and four-player online co-op[1][2]
- Mega Crit said it sold more than 3 million copies in the first week and that players had begun over 25 million runs; the launch weekend peaked at 574,638 concurrent players on SteamDB, just short of Hollow Knight: Silksong's record of 587,150[3][4]
- On Steam's most-played chart for the week ending 2 October 2026 it ranks 12th, with a peak of 87,570 concurrent players[2]
- It costs $24.99 on Steam, and Mega Crit expects the Early Access period to run one to two years, similar to the first game's roughly year and a half[2][5]

Something missing or wrong? Say it in your own words: a link that backs this pin up, a different start or end date and why, or a fact it lacks or gets wrong. The AI checks it against this pin's sources, searches for better ones, and adds any page that backs you up. The pin's own sources still count most. A picture that shows something else, or shows it badly, is looked at too, and moved down or replaced.
