Stupid Never Dies is out on PS5 and PC via Steam as of October 22, 2026. Steam user reviews stand at 78 percent positive from 60 reviews (Mostly Positive), and Metacritic sits at 66 for both PS5 and PC.
GPTRACK50 announced Stupid Never Dies for PlayStation 5 and PC via Steam with a fall 2026 window, then dated it to October 22 at 7,689 yen for the standard edition and 8,789 yen for the digital deluxe Gorgeous Baka Edition. The game stars Davy, a zombie who wants to revive a frozen woman named Julia, and builds its combat around Style Eat, which devours enemy cores to grant 11 transformation styles, plus Body Hack, which modifies his body with OT Gear. Sega joined as co-publisher in July 2026, and producer Hiroyuki Kobayashi and director Eiichiro Sasaki told Automaton the roughly one-year gap between The Game Awards reveal and release was deliberate, arguing a longer window lets information go stale.
The run-up to launch leaned on a demo and a developer video series. The FIRST BITE DEMO went live September 4 after the third trailer ran during the September 3 State of Play broadcast, covering about the first two hours and carrying save data into the full game. Sega's DEEP BITE video series began September 11 and explained the Bite attack, Stupid Parry, Style Eat, the 11 style switches, and the Davy Burst special move. A patch planned for September 22 followed demo feedback, including calls for a lock-on. Kobayashi and Sasaki said the combat targets the head-on, guard-free brawling of Chainsaw Man's Denji, and described a small personal wish rather than a world-saving plot.
The release drew mixed reception. Steam reviews sit at 78 percent positive from 60 reviews while Metacritic shows 66 on both platforms. Players praise the visuals, the cast around Davy, the humor, and the Style Eat and Body Hack systems. Complaints center on the missing lock-on and repetitive material gathering.
