Culdcept Begins Comes To Steam With New Maps And A Free Switch Update Planned
Neos released the Steam version of Culdcept Begins on PC. The port adds three battle maps, ten book cover designs, and a Card Encyclopedia that reads card names aloud, plus fixes to map mode visibility and card selection.

Why it matters
The Steam release carries the content updates first, and Switch owners get them later through a free patch, so the PC version is where the game's post-launch feature set currently lands.
