BOMBANANA! Release Date, Price & PC Specs
BOMBANANA! (Bomb Banana) released on September 2, 2026 — a Wednesday — on PC through Steam. It is developed by Lefto Studio and published by TARK. The date is confirmed by five independent sources, including the official Steam page and the studio's own press release.
Quick answer
| Release date | September 2, 2026 (Wednesday) |
| Platforms | Steam (Windows & macOS) and Roblox; PlayStation demo since Oct 22 2026; no mobile release yet, no Xbox or Switch version |
| Developer / Publisher | Lefto Studio / TARK |
| Price | $7.99 US · ¥29.00 CN · HK$48.00 HK — free on Roblox |
| Players | 3 on Steam (no solo) · 2-player mode on Roblox |
| Campaign length | 30 handcrafted levels |
Price and editions
There is only a Standard Edition on Steam — no Deluxe tier, no season pass, no cosmetic packs. You buy the game once and get everything. The Roblox version is free, so the editions question only applies to the Steam release.
| Region | Price |
|---|---|
| United States | $7.99 USD |
| China | ¥29.00 CNY |
| Hong Kong | HK$48.00 HKD |
| Roblox | Free to play |
Why three different numbers: Steam uses regional pricing, so the dollar, yuan and Hong Kong figures are all official — they are not conversions of each other. All three were read from the Steam store data on September 17, 2026. Before launch, LDShop had guessed a $10–20 USD range; the real price came in below that.
For $7.99 the Steam edition gives you the full 30-level Campaign, the procedural Endless mode, the Custom mode where you build your own bomb, 23 Steam Achievements and Family Sharing — with no DLC, no season pass and no cosmetic microtransactions to buy later. The one thing the PC build does not give you is a way to play with just two people; for that there is the free Roblox version, which is a separate release rather than a cheaper tier of the same game.
System requirements
The numbers below are taken from the official Steam store page. They are very forgiving — a 300 MB install on Windows and integrated graphics will get you in the door. One hard requirement: the game has no offline mode, so a broadband connection is mandatory for all three players.
Windows
| Minimum | Recommended | |
|---|---|---|
| OS | Windows 10/11 64-bit | Windows 10/11 64-bit |
| Processor | Intel Core i3-6100 / AMD Ryzen 3 1200 | Intel Core i5-8400 / AMD Ryzen 5 2600 |
| Memory | 8 GB RAM | 16 GB RAM |
| Graphics | Intel HD Graphics 520 / AMD Radeon Vega 3 | Intel Iris Xe / NVIDIA GTX 1050 / AMD RX 560 |
| Storage | 300 MB | 300 MB |
| Network | Broadband (no offline mode) | Broadband (no offline mode) |
macOS
| Minimum | Recommended | |
|---|---|---|
| OS | macOS 11.0 (Big Sur) or later | macOS 12.0 (Monterey) or later |
| Processor | Apple M1 or Intel Core i3 (6th gen+) | Apple M1 Pro / M2 or Intel Core i5 (8th gen+) |
| Memory | 4 GB RAM | 8 GB RAM |
| Storage | 600 MB | 600 MB |
Discrepancy note: some community sites list lower memory figures (2 GB minimum / 8 GB recommended). We use the official Steam numbers — 8 GB minimum and 16 GB recommended — because the store page is the authoritative source.
The practical answer for most people is yes, your PC can run it. The minimum tier is roughly a six-year-old office laptop: any Intel Core i3-6100-class or AMD Ryzen 3 1200-class CPU with 8 GB of RAM and integrated graphics (Intel HD 520 or AMD Vega 3) will do, and the whole install is 300 MB — smaller than most mobile apps. The recommended tier (i5-8400 / Ryzen 5 2600, 16 GB RAM, a GTX 1050-class card) is only for a smoother frame rate, not for the game to function at all.
The one requirement that is non-negotiable is the network: there is no offline mode, so all three players need a stable broadband connection for the whole run. On a Mac you need at least macOS 11 (Big Sur) and 4 GB of RAM, with an Apple M1 or a 6th-gen Intel chip. Steam Deck compatibility has not been officially rated by Valve, so treat handheld play as unconfirmed until a verified build is tested.
Release date and unlock time
This is the one detail that was never published as an official global schedule, and the two sources that covered it do not fully agree. games.gg reported a global simultaneous unlock at 13:00 UTC on September 2.LDShop estimated the standard 10:00 AM PT Steam refresh instead, and was explicit that its number was an inference from how indie launches normally behave rather than an official announcement. The regional windows below come from LDShop's estimate:
| Region | Local unlock |
|---|---|
| US West Coast | September 2 — 10:00 AM |
| US East Coast | September 2 — 1:00 PM |
| United Kingdom | September 2 — 6:00 PM |
| France / Germany / Spain | September 2 — 7:00 PM |
| Singapore / China | September 3 — 1:00 AM (next day) |
| Japan | September 3 — 2:00 AM (next day) |
About the unlock times. These unlock windows are a reported estimate rather than an official timetable. Check the Steam store page countdown on launch day.
Platforms — Steam and Roblox
The Steam version ships on Windows and macOS, and the two share the same servers, so mixed Windows/Mac teams are fine. Steam's own store data lists no Linux build. A free PlayStation demo went live on October 22, 2026, and includes Color Blind Mode — but the full game has not been announced for PlayStation, and Xbox and Switch have no announced version at all. Steam Deck support has not been officially rated by Valve. ThePS5, Xbox and Switch question is covered in full on its own page.
Alongside it, a free official Roblox version is live now.The mobile version has not been released. As of October 16, 2026 the game has no listing on the App Store or Google Play, and any page offering a "BOMBANANA APK" or a free mobile download is not this game. The Steam and Roblox releases are separate — there is no crossplay between them, so everyone in a team has to be on the same version. The full platform-by-platform matrix is on thecrossplay page.
Updates since launch
BOMBANANA! has shipped one major content update and two patches since launch. Every entry below comes from Lefto Studio's own Steam announcements. The game publishes no public roadmap, so anything not listed here has not been announced.
