The first chapter was released for free in 2018, and then in 2021 the second chapter arrived, and despite expectations it was also free.<\/p>\n<p>Creator Toby Fox, whose previous game <a href=\"https:\/\/www.pcgamer.com\/undertale-review\/\" target=\"_blank\">Undertale<\/a> was also a massive hit, warned that subsequent chapters would not be free. The plan at that point was to finish chapters 3, 4, and 5, and then release all five chapters as a paid game\u2014but then that changed in 2025 when Fox put out <a href=\"https:\/\/www.pcgamer.com\/games\/adventure\/deltarune-shoots-to-the-stop-of-the-steam-best-seller-chart-as-chapters-3-and-4-finally-go-live\/\" target=\"_blank\">Deltarune chapters 3 and 4<\/a>, marking the game&#8217;s &#8220;official&#8221; release, while work continued on chapter 5. Chapters 1 and 2 remain free, and anyone who purchases chapters 3 and 4 will get any and all subsequent chapters free.<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"bluesky-embed\" data-bluesky-uri=\"at:\/\/did:plc:vshnclkqqguyg6xcz6q7g65k\/app.bsky.feed.post\/3mp2ajjivo22m\" data-bluesky-cid=\"bafyreigk6vs3eswntw3rayghejvojz64cbzf73ljmh6i4eaai4wsw26duy\">\n<p lang=\"en\">Deltarune Chapter 5 came out IDK if you saw<\/p>\n<p>\u2014 @tobyfox.undertale.com (<a href=\"https:\/\/bsky.app\/profile\/did:plc:vshnclkqqguyg6xcz6q7g65k?ref_src=embed\">@tobyfox.undertale.com.bsky.social<\/a>) <a href=\"https:\/\/bsky.app\/profile\/tobyfox.undertale.com\/post\/3mp2ajjivo22m\">2026-06-25T21:45:42.888Z<\/a><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>Chapter 6 won&#8217;t be the end of the Deltarune tale either: As noted by <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ign.com\/articles\/deltarune-chapter-6-will-release-in-2027-chapter-5-shatters-concurrent-player-records-on-steam\" target=\"_blank\">IGN<\/a>, Fox said in a recent <a href=\"https:\/\/toby.fangamer.com\/newsletters\/ch5-release-date\/\" target=\"_blank\">newsletter<\/a> that work on chapter 6 is going so well, &#8220;it\u2019s not unrealistic that some staff members may start working on Chapter 7 before the end of the year.&#8221;<\/p>\n<div style=\"min-height: 250px;\">\n<div class=\"kwizly-quiz kwizly-ORV41O\"><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<p> <script src=\"https:\/\/kwizly.com\/embed\/ORV41O.js\" async><\/script><\/p>\n<div class=\"product\"><a data-dimension112=\"6e366aa6-465b-465a-8c22-151589a5fed5\" data-action=\"Deal Block\" data-label=\"Steam sale dates\" data-dimension48=\"Steam sale dates\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow\"><\/p>\n<figure class=\"van-image-figure \" >\n<div class='image-full-width-wrapper'>\n<div class='image-widthsetter' style=\"max-width:550px;\">\n<p class=\"vanilla-image-block\" style=\"padding-top:100.00%;\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" id=\"dmLfcTEceHMYUpsciYxiDT\" name=\"steam rpgs\" caption=\"\" alt=\"\" src=\"https:\/\/arcader.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/deltarune-chapter-5-launches-to-nearly-300000-concurrent-players-on-steam-chapter-6-is-coming-in-2027.jpg\" mos=\"\" align=\"middle\" fullscreen=\"\" width=\"550\" height=\"550\" attribution=\"\" endorsement=\"\" credit=\"\" class=\"\"><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/figure>\n<p><\/a><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.pcgamer.com\/steam-sale-dates\/\" target=\"_blank\" data-dimension112=\"6e366aa6-465b-465a-8c22-151589a5fed5\" data-action=\"Deal Block\" data-label=\"Steam sale dates\" data-dimension48=\"Steam sale dates\" data-dimension25=\"\"><strong>Steam sale dates<\/strong><\/a>: When&#8217;s the next event?<br \/><a href=\"https:\/\/www.pcgamer.com\/epic-games-store-free-games-list\/\" target=\"_blank\"><strong>Epic Store free games<\/strong><\/a>: What&#8217;s free right now?<br \/><a href=\"https:\/\/www.pcgamer.com\/the-50-best-free-pc-games\/\" target=\"_blank\"><strong>Free PC games<\/strong><\/a>: The best freebies you can grab<br \/><a href=\"https:\/\/www.pcgamer.com\/games\/new-pc-games-2026\/\" target=\"_blank\"><strong>2026 games<\/strong><\/a>: This year&#8217;s upcoming releases<br \/><a href=\"https:\/\/www.pcgamer.com\/the-best-free-games-on-steam\/\" target=\"_blank\"><strong>Free Steam games<\/strong><\/a>: No purchase necessary<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/article>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.pcgamer.com\/games\/rpg\/deltarune-chapter-5-launches-to-nearly-300-000-concurrent-players-on-steam-chapter-6-is-coming-in-2027\/\">Source<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The long-awaited fifth chapter of Deltarune hit Steam like an asteroid yesterday, sending its concurrent player count skyrocketing to nearly 300,000\u2014more than double its previous peak player count\u2014and putting the game amidst the platform&#8217;s top 10 best-selling games.
