Crosswind Plots Course to Steam Early Access Release in 2026
The Co-op Pirate Survival Game’s New Trailer Introduces the Ashlands Biome, Undead Enemies, and the Tortuga Outpost
TORTUGA — Aug. 14, 2025 — The highly anticipated pirate survival game Crosswind is happy to announce that it will launch into Steam Early Access in 2026. Since its announcement, the team at Crosswind Crew have been hard at work developing the game and the team is excited for what's coming next. Crosswind has released a new trailer today teasing some of the swashbuckling content players can expect!
Crosswind’s new action-packed trailer gives an early peek at what Crosswind Crew is working on and some of what players can anticipate in early access and beyond. Discover the Ashlands, a dangerous new biome taken over by undead and covered in volcanic ash. Other additions players can look forward to include Tortuga, an outpost under siege by undead enemies, as well as ship customization, crew battling alongside you on the top deck, and crew recruitment.
Crosswind will launch into Steam Early Access in 2026 as a paid product focused on PvE, either solo or with friends, and creating a highly polished player experience. Although originally announced as a F2P survival MMO, this transition to a more traditional multiplayer survival game comes after a survey of closed Alpha players’ preferences and behaviors. The team is excited for the future of Crosswind and aim to implement and enrich new content, features, and gameplay based on continuing player feedback. They are also exploring new options available thanks to the transition to a paid experience, like the potential for mods and dedicated servers.
