MahjongSoul Domestic Steam Version Goes Live, Data Transfer Available
After seven years, the domestic version of MahjongSoul is finally on Steam, a familiar platform for PC gamers, though DMM account holders cannot transfer their data.
Reporting from 4 sources: 4Gamer.net, Denfaminicogamer, Automaton, Game Spark.
Yostar released the domestic version of MahjongSoul on Steam on July 20, seven years after the game's original launch. Players using the browser version or iOS/Android apps can transfer their data, but DMM version accounts cannot be carried over. The free-to-play mahjong game has over 15 million registered users.
The domestic version of MahjongSoul had been available on browser, iOS, Android, Windows, and DMM since 2019, but its Steam store page only appeared in May. That changed on July 20, when Yostar suddenly released the game on Steam. Existing players using browser or mobile login methods can carry their data over to the Steam version, but the announcement notes that DMM account data cannot be transferred. The game, a free-to-play moe-style competitive mahjong title developed by China's Catfood Studio, reports over 15 million registered users. The overseas version of MahjongSoul was already on Steam, but the domestic release was notably absent until now.
