How to Fish Dev Hints at New Features Around Steam Autumn Sale
A launch that leaned on physics feel and streamer word of mouth is now being extended through a sale-timed update, the studio's way of keeping a small-budget PC sim in front of players after the first wave.

Dazed Games, the two-person Swedish studio behind the physics-based fishing sim How to Fish, says new features may arrive in time for the Steam Autumn Sale. The PC title launched on August 20 and pairs first-person fishing with single-player and four-player online co-op, letting players catch, dispatch, and sell fish to buy tools and weapons. It costs 880 yen and supports Japanese.
How to Fish shipped on PC on August 20, made by a two-person team in Sweden. Players start stranded on a small island with no gear and work up by catching, dispatching, and selling fish for tools and weapons. The game runs single-player and online co-op for up to four players, costs 880 yen, and supports Japanese.
The game grew out of a 2022 game jam prototype themed around a coast, built from the team's memories of Ridiculous Fishing. Dazed Games later set the project aside, and only returned to it after its 2025 Steam release Out of Hand: Deluxe did not perform as the pair hoped.
