Pollex Roadmap
Q4 2026 on Steam. Here is what is promised, what is missing, and what we are watching.
Kooky Studios lists Pollex as not yet available, with a planned release in Q4 2026. This roadmap is a player-facing watchlist, not a studio Gantt chart. We do not have their internal milestones. We have a Steam page, a spec, a content warning, and a loop.
Use updates for the policy on how we log changes. Use this page for the timeline.
Now (pre-release)
- Store page live: first-person horror, underground thumb-war pit, fingers as stakes.
- Wishlist available. Follow wishlist.
- No demo button on the listing we reviewed.
- No price.
- No public patch notes.
- No verified trailer ID on this wiki yet.
- English only for interface, audio, and subtitles.
- Single-player.
- Minimum spec published — see system requirements.
Your job in this phase: spec-check, wishlist, read getting started, and ignore fake codes.
Q4 2026 — launch window
What we expect to learn in the window, not what we guarantee:
- A calendar day inside Q4.
- A price and any launch discount.
- Whether a day-one patch exists (UE5 titles often do).
- Whether the pin is readable enough for how to win to grow a real table.
- Whether named opponents and house staff appear in the opening hours.
If the window slips, this page will say so in plain language. A slip is not a secret; it is a Steam date change.
After launch — what we will track
- Pin and stake tuning. If a patch changes how a pin counts, the match plan and tier list update.
- Performance. If the 1070 floor was optimistic, performance gets driver and scaler notes.
- Languages. If French, German, Spanish, or Portuguese appear in the client, we will note it. This wiki already localises articles; the game may not.
- Codes. Compensation strings go to the codes hub, not into lore pages.
- Mature-content options. If a gore slider appears, controls will link it. Until then, assume none.
What is not on the roadmap
- Consoles.
- Extra players in the ring.
- A live-service season pass.
- A promised “finger shop.”
- A Trello we have not seen.
If a creator shows a slide deck, we still wait for Steam. Official links are the filter.
How this page stays aligned
Facts: upcoming, Q4 2026, Steam, single-player, single-player only. The review and guides hub must match. If you find a contradiction, the roadmap wins until we fix the other article.
How to watch the window without refreshing hourly
Set a calendar reminder once a month from now until the end of 2026. Open the official Steam page, check the date line, check whether a demo button appeared, check whether the spec changed. Then leave. Solo Unreal Engine 5 projects do not benefit from hourly panic. If the quarter is still Q4, your job is still getting started and system requirements.
If a price appears, do not treat a grey-market “preorder key” as official. Redeem only through Steam; see how to redeem. If a trailer appears with a real YouTube ID, we will embed it once, mid-article, on the review or this page — never two videos, never a fake ID.
If the listing adds a language pack, we will note it. This wiki already translates guides; the client may stay English. That is not a contradiction. It is two layers.

Frequently Asked Questions
Quick answers to the most common questions.
Is Q4 2026 a confirmed day?
No. It is a quarter. We will add the day when Steam shows one.
Will Pollex come to consoles?
Not on the current listing. Treat it as Steam PC until the store says otherwise.
Is a demo on the roadmap?
The studio has not promised one on the page we reviewed. If a demo ships, it will be added here.
Does the wiki invent studio milestones?
No. We only track public Steam changes and post-launch patches.
