Platforms & Stores

Montabi released August 6, 2026 as a single-player creature-collector roguelike deckbuilder from Mankibo, published by Akupara Games. The 1.0 launch reached Steam/PC (Windows and macOS), Xbox, Nintendo Switch, and—per day-one storefront coverage—Epic Games Store and GOG for PC buyers who prefer those launchers. This page collects where to purchase, what each version includes, and how console features like Play Anywhere or Smart Delivery may apply without pretending every SKU is identical worldwide.

Always confirm regional availability on the official store you plan to buy from. Sales, bundles, and Nintendo Switch 2 upgrade messaging can change after this wiki snapshot.

PC: Steam (primary)

Montabi on Steam remains the reference storefront for system requirements, 22 achievements, Steam Cloud, family sharing, trading cards, and the standalone demo app (separate Steam listing from the full game). Launch pricing is $19.99 USD before regional tax; limited launch discounts may appear—check the cart, not rumor posts.

Steam supports Windows and macOS with the same feature tags: full controller support, mouse-only option, adjustable difficulty, save anytime outside combat, and no timed-input gates. PC is the best place to tune controls—see Controls & Input—and verify performance against System Requirements.

PC: Epic Games Store and GOG

Launch-week coverage listed Epic and GOG alongside Steam for players who keep libraries split. Expect the same single-player roguelike content—22 starter lines, 60+ Montabi, Student/Fighter/Chef trainers, 3×3 battles, biscuits, evolutions at level 5 and 10—without Steam-specific achievements unless Epic/GOG add their own meta layers. Cloud saves depend on each launcher; do not assume cross-store sync.

Overlay keys differ: remap confirm/cancel if Epic or GOG overlays conflict with grid movement. Gameplay guides on this wiki remain valid because mechanics are platform-agnostic.

Xbox

The Xbox version targets couch play with controller-first UI identical to console expectations in a tactics deckbuilder. Microsoft listings include Xbox Play Anywhere when the publisher opts in—meaning one purchase can entitle both console and Windows Store PC builds. Verify your receipt; Play Anywhere applies to qualifying SKUs only.

Xbox achievements mirror the Steam set in count (22 on Steam; Xbox Live has its own parallel list). Progress does not cross between Steam and Xbox accounts. For achievement hunting routes, read Achievements and pick one platform family for the long grind.

Nintendo Switch

Nintendo Switch launched alongside PC and Xbox with portable 3×3 fights suited to short runs—Trainer death ends the session, making handheld “one more node” loops natural. Publisher marketing referenced Nintendo Switch 2 support on storefront materials; treat next-gen compatibility as eShop-dependent and watch Nintendo notes for free-update versus repurchase rules.

Switch players should expect the same single-player content but no Steam trading cards. Performance is generally stable given the tiny 512 MB storage footprint; thermal throttling in handheld mode is the main practical concern during long sessions.

Demo and Next Fest history

Before 1.0, Montabi participated in Steam Next Fest (June 2026) with a public demo featuring Subway Station, a Stickards room, and the Kaibug Montabi line—summarized on Next Fest June 2026. The Steam store still hosts a demo app (3750130) you can install to test controls and difficulty before paying full price. Read the full Steam Demo guide for practice goals and demo-versus-1.0 differences. Demo progress does not carry into the paid game unless official patch notes say otherwise.

Supported languages (nine at launch)

Steam lists full UI text for nine languages at launch: English, French, German, Spanish (Spain), Japanese, Korean, Simplified Chinese, Traditional Chinese, and Indonesian. Audio is not fully voiced in every language; expect Japanese/English-forward battle barks with localized menus. Next Fest notes highlighted Traditional Chinese, German, French, and Korean QoL alongside other additions—1.0 includes the broader set above.

This fan wiki publishes English, French, German, Spanish, and Brazilian Portuguese pages; in-game text may differ from wiki locale coverage.

Price and editions

Standard edition MSRP: $19.99 on Steam; Xbox and Switch eShop prices vary by region. A 10% launch discount applied for the first 14 days on participating stores—verify live pricing before checkout.

Deluxe adds a 150+ page digital artbook (Steam app 4946140) and 22-track OST (Steam app 4946090) without changing gameplay. No season pass was announced at launch; DLC entries may appear as cosmetic or future content slots.
