Granblue Fantasy, the famous RPG from Cygames, will finally get a Steam version aimed at players outside Japan. The company made the official announcement during Granblue Fantasy Fes 2025, revealing that the game will be released on Valve’s platform on March 10, 2026. This is long-awaited news for Western fans of the franchise, who will be able to access the original title in a new way. However, it is important to note that players will not be able to use their existing mobile version accounts on the new platform, a crucial detail for those who have already invested time in the game.
The release represents a significant expansion of access to one of Japan’s most popular RPG franchises. Scheduled to reach international audiences in the first quarter of 2026, the move aims to capitalize on the success of recent titles like Granblue Fantasy: Relink. In this way, Cygames consolidates its global presence and offers a more accessible entry point for new players who prefer PC. The announcement was made through the franchise’s official X (formerly Twitter) account, generating great excitement within the community.
A Long History Arrives on PC
Granblue Fantasy’s journey began in 2014 as a smartphone game, winning over millions of players. Since then, the universe has expanded into various media, including two seasons of anime made available on services like Crunchyroll and Funimation. Additionally, the franchise has ventured into the fighting genre with Granblue Fantasy: Versus and its successor, Rising, as well as the acclaimed action RPG Granblue Fantasy: Relink, released in 2024. Therefore, the arrival of the original title on Steam is a natural chapter in this successful trajectory.
This strategic move occurs at a time when the PC games-as-a-service (GaaS) market is expanding strongly in Brazil. Offering the game on Steam, the largest digital store for computers, removes a major access barrier for fans who were not comfortable with the mobile or browser version. Thus, Cygames not only preserves its legacy but also invests in the future of the franchise, ensuring its relevance for a new generation of players in 2026 and beyond.
