Frequently asked questions
When does Graveyard Keeper 2 release?
The full game launched on 2026-09-22; the PlayStation listing showed the unlock at 17:00 UTC. The free demo is still available and its save carries over.
How much does Graveyard Keeper 2 cost?
Steam lists it at US$24.99 with no discount when checked on 2026-09-23; the 20% pre-purchase price (US$19.99 at checkout) ended with the 2026-09-22 launch. Prices, discounts and whether the pre-order bonus is included differ by platform and region — your own store page is the source of truth.
How long is the Graveyard Keeper 2 demo, and where does it end?
The official demo description estimates 3–4 hours and covers the opening of the game through the introduction of The Town. Actual play time depends on exploration and reading speed.
Where can I download the demo?
The official announcement lists the demo on Steam, Xbox, PlayStation and Nintendo Switch; the Steam build is a free download. Whether the console demos are still listed is up to each store page.
Does Graveyard Keeper 2 demo progress carry over to the full game?
Yes. The official Steam demo page says you can continue the full game from your demo save after purchasing it.
Which platforms will get the full game?
Official storefronts list Windows PC via Steam and GOG, PS5 and PS4 (one product page), Xbox One, Xbox Series X|S, Nintendo Switch and Nintendo Switch 2 (separate pages, save data compatible). The official store row also lists the Epic Games Store, but Epic had no product page for it when checked on 2026-09-23. Release timing and features should be checked on your regional store.
Does Graveyard Keeper 2 have multiplayer or co-op?
No. Every official store listing describes Graveyard Keeper 2 as a single-player game, and no multiplayer, co-op or online mode has been announced. The original Graveyard Keeper is listed as single-player only as well, so any co-op in either game is unofficial.
Which languages are supported?
The Steam listing has 11 interface and subtitle languages: English, French, German, Spanish (Spain), Japanese, Korean, Polish, Portuguese (Brazil), Russian, Simplified Chinese and Turkish. Only English is listed with full audio.
Is macOS, Linux or Steam Deck supported?
As of the checked date, the Steam requirements list Windows 10 x64 or higher only and do not provide a macOS, Linux or Steam Deck compatibility commitment. Treat those platforms as unconfirmed.
Where do I find the pre-order bonus (sauna and outfit)?
The developers’ pinned answer names two places: the Sauna sits to the left of your base, over the bridge, and you can reach it once the bridge is repaired; the outfit needs the ‘Suit Up!’ technology and a Dresser built in your home, after which you can switch your clothing to the pre-order set. If an existing save showed no pre-order content at all, the hotfix of 2026-09-22 is the one that fixed it.
How do I move my demo save to the full game?
The official support article says demo saves should transfer automatically; when they do not, copy the .info and .dat files from the demo save folder (on Windows %USERPROFILE%\AppData\LocalLow\Lazy Bear Games\Graveyard Keeper 2 Demo — you can also download them from Steam Cloud) into the full game’s folder, %USERPROFILE%\AppData\LocalLow\Lazy Bear Games\Graveyard Keeper 2.
Can I switch between the full voice-over and the original mumbling?
Yes. The developers’ pinned FAQ says the game offers a switch between the fully voiced audio and the characters’ original mumbling; that switch is the Voiceover Mode option in the settings menu.
Is Graveyard Keeper 2 an Early Access game?
No. Steam lists 2026-09-22 as the release date and does not label the game Early Access. The currently playable download is a separate free demo.
What is included with pre-ordering?
The advertised pre-order bonus was a private sauna outside the player's home and a platform-dependent character outfit. On Xbox it ships as a free separate product, on Nintendo as an unpriced DLC entry, and the PlayStation page has no separate bonus item. A hotfix on 2026-09-22 fixed the bonus not appearing in existing saves. Contents vary by platform and region.
Multiplayer & co-op
Graveyard Keeper 2 is single-player. No official store listing shows a multiplayer, co-op or online mode, and the original Graveyard Keeper is single-player only as well. Co-op in either game would mean unofficial community mods, which the stores do not support and this site does not document.
