Early Access launches in October 2025!
[h2]Big announcement! My Card Is Better Than Your Card! is coming to Steam Early Access in
October 2025![/h2][p]
![]()
[/p][h2]Why Early Access? [/h2][p]Originally, we planned to launch the game as full release by October with a more limited set of features. But, thanks to the support our game has received, we realized that it would now be possible for us to aim for a more feature-rich full release version of our game than we had previously thought. Instead of delaying the release, we feel Early Access is the better option.
The support and love we’ve received for this game has been amazing, and words aren’t enough to express how blown away and grateful we are for that! Through your feedback we’ve heard lots of great wishes and suggestions that we agree with and want to see in the full version of the game. We want to be able to make more of those ideas come true. Going into Early Access will help us make the game better with you, our community.
The game will be fully playable at Early Access launch with a bunch of new content!
[/p][h2]Features at Early Access launch include: [/h2]
[/p][h2]What else has changed since the demo release? [/h2][p]Since our Next Fest demo, we’ve added quite a lot of content and new features! A huge thank you to our players for all the feedback! Besides the list of features above, here are more new additions we’ve made to the game since our demo! [/p]
[/p][h2]How long will Early Access last?[/h2][p]We estimate that the game will be in Early Access for approximately 9 to 12 months. We have made sure to include time to add features based on our players’ suggestions.
[/p][h2]What’s going to be added to the game during Early Access? [/h2][p]Through Early Access we will add new content and features at a steady pace. We will keep you informed on how we’re advancing with regular development updates! [/p][p]Here’s an outline of what we’ve planned to add to the game before 1.0 release. Please note that these features are not in specific order and the plans may change if needed. [/p]
[/p][h2]What’s going to happen to the demo? [/h2][p]Right now, we’re focusing on getting ready for the Early Access launch. We may disable the demo closer to Early Access launch, since the demo is a bit outdated at this point. Players trying out the demo might not get an accurate picture of what the Early Access version of the game is like, because of all the new content, features and improvements we’ve added to the game. The demo will come back as an updated version later!
[/p][h2]Feel free to ask if you have any questions! [/h2][p]We apologize for the late announcement, and we wish we could’ve done it sooner. Every one of us here at Utu Studios is excited about what this all will mean for My Card Is Better Than Your Card! and we can’t wait for everyone to get their hands on all the new things we’ve added to the game. We’ll try our best to answer any questions you might have about the Early Access release. Thank you for reading through this![/p]
