Barfender Reveal Date Announcement
Proto Division
Grab your shakers, stock the inventory, and prepare for the rush. Barfender is officially launching into Early Access on October 12, 2026!
We are thrilled to finally open the doors to our co-op bar simulation. Whether you are perfectly mixing complex orders, managing the absolute chaos of a busy night or just trying to keep the venue from falling apart, we cannot wait for you and your friends to step behind the counter.
Barfender is currently 100% playable and bug-free. We don’t see Early Access as an “incomplete game,” but as a “game that will become even better together with you.”
At its core, Barfender is a game built on chaos and fun. To elevate this dynamic to its fullest potential, player feedback is crucial. The Early Access phase will allow us to integrate your ideas and experiences directly into the development process.
The Early Access model is a critical step in helping us achieve the expansive scope we envision for Barfender. With your support during this process, we will be able to add new content, streamline mechanics, and deliver a much richer gameplay experience.
- Wishlist the Game: Add Barfender to your Steam wishlist to receive an immediate notification the moment the Early Access build goes live.
- Gather Your Crew: Coordinate with your co-op partners now. You will need a reliable team to handle the most demanding customers.
- Join the Conversation: We want to hear your feedback from day one. Follow our community hub and Discord to share your thoughts, report bugs, and chat directly with us!
Get ready to serve up some chaos. We will see you behind the bar on October 12th! -Proto Division & Rock Paper Publisher
