Is How to Fish Coming to Consoles?
Developer Dazed Games has confirmed console versions of How to Fish are in the works, but as of this writing no specific platform or release date has been announced. Given the game's launch success — over a million copies sold in its first two days — there's clear incentive to bring it to Xbox and PlayStation, but until Dazed Games makes an official announcement, treat any specific console release date you see elsewhere as a rumor, not confirmed fact.
System Requirements (PC)
| OS | Windows 10 or newer |
|---|---|
| Processor | Intel Core i5-5257U or AMD Ryzen 3 1200 |
| Memory | 8 GB RAM |
| Graphics | GTX 1050 or RX 460 |
| Network | Broadband internet connection (required for co-op) |
| Storage | 1 GB available space |
These are modest requirements by 2026 standards — How to Fish's cartoony, low-poly art style is intentionally light on hardware, which is part of why it also runs comfortably on Steam Deck. If your PC is a few years old but meets these numbers, you shouldn't need to upgrade anything specifically to play How to Fish, even in a full four-player co-op session.
How to Fish on Steam Deck
How to Fish carries an official Playable rating on Steam Deck. Community testing has reported the game defaulting to its highest quality settings on Deck hardware while still holding 60 FPS or better and staying under roughly 16 watts of power draw — solid battery life for a handheld session. If you're deciding between a desktop and Deck session with friends, Deck performance shouldn't be a limiting factor.
Refunds
How to Fish is sold through Steam, so standard Steam refund rules apply: Valve generally allows refunds within 14 days of purchase and under 2 hours of playtime, requested through your Steam account's purchase history. This is Steam's general store-wide policy, not a How to Fish-specific one, so always confirm current terms on Steam's own support pages if you're close to either limit.
