Clawed Game Guide: Release Date, Co-Op, Demo and PC Answers

By DayOneFix Editorial · August 8, 2026

The Clawed game is Flatrock Games’ survival-horror action adventure: a third-person shooter set in a Jurassic Park-style abandoned dinosaur theme park, where players explore, solve puzzles, and survive encounters with dinosaurs. Steam tags it as Survival Horror, Third-Person Shooter, and Atmospheric; the developer describes fighting dinosaurs, exploring Prehistoria, and solving puzzles with teammates. Steam’s official store page and the developer’s Clawed page are the primary sources for those basics.

This Clawed game guide is the short, sourced index for the questions a Clawed game wiki needs to answer at launch and after it: release date, price, co-op, demo, platforms, crossplay, and PC requirements. Clawed releases on August 13, 2026. Flatrock Games moved it from July 23 in a July 7 announcement, saying July 23 had become an “exceptionally crowded launch day” and that August 13 gave the game the launch window it deserved. The official Steam announcements carry that release update; our Clawed countdown tracks the date.

Launch record — 5 September 2026

Clawed shipped on 13 August 2026 at $19.99, Windows only. On 5 September 2026, the Steam rating was Mixed (388 positive / 353 negative on 5 September). By that date, Flatrock Games had pushed five patches — 1.01 (15 Aug), 1.02 (16 Aug), 1.03 (20 Aug), 1.04 (27 Aug) and 1.05 (29 Aug) — mostly quest, save and co-op fixes; 1.04 fixed co-op respawning at the pier instead of the last checkpoint and joining players spawning at the pier, 1.05 fixed a GPU-driver crash tied to the Toy puzzle. In the 100 most recent negative English reviews sampled on 5 September, co-op and connection problems were the top complaint (24), followed by black screens on load (17), save problems (17) and stutter (16). Valve’s Steam Deck verdict recorded on 5 September was Unsupported. Everything below was written around launch and is kept as the record; where a section said “unverified until the game ships”, this block is the verification.

Quick answers

What kind of dinosaur game is Clawed?

For anyone searching for the Clawed dinosaur game, the confirmed premise is an abandoned dinosaur theme park with a Jurassic Park-like setup. The official listing calls Clawed an Action and Adventure game, and its tags establish the survival-horror and third-person-shooter framing. Players can explore the park, solve puzzles, and fight dinosaurs; Steam and Flatrock both say friends can do those things together in co-op. See the official Steam listing or Flatrock’s game page for the developer’s wording.

What dinosaurs are in Clawed? Flatrock Games has not published a complete dinosaur list. The official descriptions confirm dinosaurs as enemies and refer to dino enclosures, but they do not provide a full roster, species list, boss list, or encounter guide. That is the right place to stop: an unannounced roster should not be reconstructed from trailers, assumptions, or other dinosaur games.

Release date, delay, and price

The release date is August 13, 2026. On July 7, 2026, Flatrock Games announced the move from July 23, explaining that the original day had become crowded with major releases. The developer also wrote that it believed August 13 gave Clawed the launch window it deserved. Those are the stated reasons, not a claim about development trouble or a hidden change in scope; read the official Steam news feed for the announcement.

No official price is listed. The Steam store page does not show one, and the developer website does not name one either. Flatrock Games has not said what Clawed will cost, whether there will be editions, or whether the price differs by region. Do not treat a placeholder, a retailer prediction, or a comparison with another game as confirmation.

Co-op, player count, and crossplay

Clawed officially supports Online Co-op and Single-player on Steam. Its description says players can invite friends to fight dinosaurs, explore the park, and solve puzzles together. That confirms online co-op and friend invitations, but it does not confirm PvP, local split-screen, public matchmaking rules, or a maximum group size. The official sources are the Steam page and Flatrock’s page.

The player limit is unknown. A ScreenRant report says most modes support up to four people, but it does not identify a source for that claim. Flatrock Games and Steam have not confirmed it, so do not plan around four-player co-op as a specification. For the evidence and the demo’s official co-op history, use our co-op and multiplayer page.

Crossplay is not a live platform feature question. Steam lists Windows 10/11, and Flatrock’s site points to Steam PC; no PS5, PS4, Xbox, Switch, Mac, or Linux version has been announced. With one announced platform, there are no separate platform populations to connect. That is different from saying crossplay has been disabled. The platform explanation and our crossplay guide keep that distinction clear.

Demo: what is confirmed

There is a free Clawed demo to download on Steam. In a December 2025 Q&A, Flatrock Games said people who had played the demo in co-op had seen areas needing work, that it had decided to rework some co-op systems, and that improved co-op systems would return to the demo for public stress testing. Those are developer statements collected in the official Steam news hub.

The only supplied duration claim is that the demo is more than five hours, reported by ScreenRant. Its article does not name a source for that length, and Flatrock Games and the Steam page do not confirm it. Treat it as an unverified media report, not an official promise. For failed invites or crashes, the multiplayer troubleshooting page sticks to safe PC checks and avoids invented game-specific fixes.

PC requirements, Steam Deck, and consoles

Clawed’s official Steam requirements name Windows 10/11, DirectX 12, and 11 GB of storage at both tiers. Minimum hardware is a Ryzen 5 2600X or Intel Core i5, 6 GB RAM, and Radeon RX 5600 XT or GeForce 1080; recommended hardware rises to a Ryzen 9 7950X3D or Intel i9-14900K, 16 GB RAM, and Radeon RX 6800 XT or GeForce 3080. That unusually large gap is published by Steam, not a performance forecast; see the full PC requirements guide.

Steam does not display a Steam Deck compatibility rating. Flatrock Games has not said whether Clawed runs on Steam Deck, Mac, or Linux. It has also never announced PS5, PS4, Xbox, Nintendo Switch, or Game Pass versions; the official developer page names Steam PC only. “Never announced” does not mean “explicitly ruled out”—Flatrock Games has not said that consoles will never happen. The precise distinction is covered in our console-status page.

Sources

The premise, the Survival Horror, Third-Person Shooter and Atmospheric tags, the Action and Adventure classification, the Online Co-op and Single-player categories, the absence of a listed price, the full system-requirements table and the missing Steam Deck rating all come from the Clawed Steam store page; the Flatrock Games Clawed page carries the same description and names Steam PC only. The August 13, 2026 release date, the move from July 23 and the developer’s stated reason for it — an “exceptionally crowded launch day” — plus the December 2025 Q&A about reworking demo co-op are posts on the official Clawed Steam news hub. Two claims here are media reports rather than official facts, and are marked as such in the text: the four-player cap and the “more than five hours” demo length, both from ScreenRant, which cites no source for either. Everything this page calls unknown — the dinosaur roster, the price, the party cap, Steam Deck, Mac, Linux, and any console or Game Pass version — is unknown because those two official sources were checked and do not contain it, not because we found a denial.
