Codebrew Software has announced that Sublight, a space-themed bullet heaven roguelike, will officially launch into Steam Early Access on September 15, 2026. The release will support both Linux and Windows platforms, with the developer also confirming support for the Steam Deck at launch.
Quick Facts
- Release Date: September 15, 2026
- Platforms: PC (Linux and Windows)
- Launch Content: Six levels, several bosses, nine ships, and over 16 weapon types.

In Sublight, players command a warship through hostile space, managing turret placement and firing arcs while navigating waves of enemies. The core gameplay loop focuses on ship configuration, where hull choices and weapon loadouts dictate the progression of each run. Players can further customize their ships using salvage earned from defeating enemies to unlock upgrades.
