Is Mortal Shell II available on Steam?

Current status

Mortal Shell II released on Steam on August 20, 2026 (app 2584270). The Devout Edition's Advance Access ran from August 17, 2026, and the free open beta is over. Steam's official news hub documents the timeline: a PC beta update (February 25, 2026), the free beta/demo (June 5, 2026), the release date and pricing announcement (July 8, 2026), the open beta start (July 31, 2026), Advance Access (August 17, 2026), and the worldwide release (August 20, 2026).

Their Flesh Is Your Weapon. Mortal Shell II is a standalone sequel action-RPG with adrenaline-charged, high-stakes combat. Possess warrior Shells, dethrone false gods, redeem a ravaged world.

Price and editions on Steam

The standard edition is $49.99 and the Devout Edition is $59.99; the research materials confirm this pricing is consistent across the Steam, Xbox, and PS5 stores. The Devout Edition Upgrade DLC (app 4711720) contains the exclusive Obsidian skin set for all eight playable Shells.

Steam rating

At the time of writing (August 21, 2026), the Steam listing shows: "English Reviews: Very Positive (2,243) - 85% of the 2,243 user reviews for this game are positive." Review figures quoted during the beta period came from a smaller pre-release sample and are superseded by this post-release rating.

A top-rated community review on Steam describes the game as "a clear evolution from the first one, combat is much better and the movement doesn't..." — a community opinion, not an official statement.

Steam Deck status

Steam Deck compatibility is not officially confirmed: the Steam data for the game carries no "Steam Deck Verified" marker. Third-party coverage exists — Steam Deck HQ's review described Mortal Shell 2 as "one of my favorite soulslikes out there, with great ways to customize our plays..." — but that is a third-party review, not Valve verification.
