Windrose launched into Steam Early Access on April 14, 2026. The initial Early Access release is for PC (Steam) with storefront availability and launch timings announced for multiple regions. (store.steampowered.com)

At launch Windrose is available on PC via the Steam store (and is listed for distribution on PC storefronts). No official console or native mobile releases were announced at Early Access launch. (store.steampowered.com)

The store offers the standard Early Access base game and a paid Supporter Bundle that bundles the game with the Original Soundtrack / sea shanties; the soundtrack is also available separately as paid DLC. There are no larger “Deluxe” expansions or season editions listed at launch. (store.steampowered.com)

Windrose supports single-player and online co‑op play, with party support and options for self-hosted and dedicated servers; the Early Access build advertises co‑op support for up to eight players (developers recommend smaller parties for optimal performance). The game is primarily PvE-focused rather than a PvP/esports title. (store.steampowered.com)

Windrose is an open‑world, PvE pirate survival adventure that mixes base building, crafting, exploration, naval combat with boarding actions, and Soulslike melee/shooting combat. The Early Access build includes procedurally generated biomes and islands, hand‑crafted dungeons and bosses, ship customization (multiple ship classes), character progression (stats/talents/gear), NPC workers and faction quests, and persistent dedicated‑server support. (store.steampowered.com)

Windrose sits at the intersection of Action‑Adventure / Open‑World Survival / RPG, with naval and pirate themes. Early coverage and community comparisons place it alongside games like Sea of Thieves for nautical exploration and social co‑op, and survival/open‑world titles such as Rust (for building/persistence) and recent Souls‑lite action RPGs for combat feel. (store.steampowered.com)

Minimum requirements list a 64‑bit OS (Windows 10), Intel i7‑8700K / Ryzen 7 2700X, 16 GB RAM, and a NVIDIA GTX 1080 Ti / AMD RX 6800, with about 30 GB storage. Recommended specs call for Windows 11, an Intel i7‑10700 / Ryzen 7 5800X, 32 GB RAM and an NVIDIA RTX 3080 / AMD RX 6800 XT; an SSD is strongly recommended and requirements are noted as subject to optimization during Early Access. (store.steampowered.com)

Mod support is already being prepared for the community: third‑party mod hosting and early mod pages (e.g., on CurseForge) and statements from server hosts/community posts indicate that mod support and community mod hosting are planned or being enabled alongside Early Access. Official in‑game/modding tool details are still rolling out as the Early Access launch proceeds. (curseforge.com)

At Early Access launch Windrose is a PC release (Steam/Epic storefront distribution); there are no announced console ports, so traditional cross‑platform play between PC and consoles is not applicable at this time. Any cross‑store compatibility between PC launchers is handled by the developer/publishers, but no console cross‑play was listed at release. (store.steampowered.com)

At launch the only listed paid content is the Windrose: Original Soundtrack and the Supporter Bundle that packages the soundtrack with the game; there are no narrative expansions or major DLC packs available at Early Access release. Future expansions were discussed as part of the Early Access roadmap but none were released at launch. (store.steampowered.com)

N/A — Windrose is positioned as a cooperative PvE survival adventure rather than a competitive/esports title, and coverage and developer messaging emphasize PvE co‑op and exploration. (store.steampowered.com)

There are no reports of an in‑game microtransaction store at Early Access launch; the paid content listed on storefronts is limited to the Original Soundtrack and the Supporter Bundle. The game is not being advertised as a live‑service with a persistent item shop at release. (store.steampowered.com)

No — there is no season pass or battle pass announced or available at Early Access launch; post‑launch content plans were discussed but no battle/season pass was listed at release. (store.steampowered.com)

The store listing shows support for multiple languages with interface, full audio, and subtitles in several languages, but the Early Access store page does not list an extensive suite of labeled accessibility features (for example, color‑blind modes or full remappable UI descriptors are not explicitly listed). Detailed accessibility options are limited in public materials at launch and may be expanded during Early Access. (store.steampowered.com)

Windrose is playable with keyboard and mouse on PC and has community reports of partial gamepad/controller support but not full, polished controller/Steam Deck functionality at launch; players have reported input/menu quirks that the developers are patching during Early Access. Expect primary support for keyboard/mouse with controller improvements to arrive in updates. (store.steampowered.com)

Windrose is developed by Kraken Express; publishing is handled by Kraken Express with Pocketpair Publishing (Japan) listed as a regional publisher. (store.steampowered.com)

Early Access user reception on Steam is strongly positive — the store page shows Very Positive user reviews (around 89% positive based on several thousand reviews at launch). Press coverage and previews from outlets note very high wishlist interest pre‑launch and positive early impressions from demos and first‑day coverage. (store.steampowered.com)
