COP BASTARD Release Date Explained

COP BASTARD launched at the end of October 2026. Publisher messaging says October 29; the U.S. Steam listing displays October 30. The difference is storefront timing, not two separate releases.

The two dates come from official surfaces

Steam news announced the launch for October 29, while the English U.S. store page captured during this research showed October 30. Release timestamps can cross calendar days by region and timezone. A useful guide preserves that context instead of silently choosing one date.

This is the full release, not the older demo

The full product uses Steam App 1742440 and includes the campaign, achievements, leaderboards, and Endless Mode references. The free demo remains a separate App 2174740. A video or post about the demo may describe earlier balance or a shorter content slice.

A release date does not freeze compatibility, price, or balance. Store announcements are the best place to verify patches after launch. This wiki dates dynamic observations so a launch-day discount or player report is not mistaken for a permanent feature.
