Cosy gamers, it is time to get your stamps and labels ready! Independent Belgian developer Maracas Studio has officially announced that Cat Mail Co., their highly anticipated cat-themed postal simulation game, will now be sliding through your digital mail slots on July 9, 2026.
Originally scheduled to arrive just a few days earlier, the developer wisely decided to push the delivery date back slightly to steer clear of the chaotic hustle and bustle of the Steam Summer Sale. The good news? Nothing has been lost in the mail, and you only have to wait a tiny bit longer to start your new feline career.
What is Cat Mail Co. All About?
In Cat Mail Co., players travel to the peaceful shores of Cat’s Island only to find the local post office in absolute shambles. Following the mysterious disappearance of the former postmaster, the office has been buried under a mountain of undelivered parcels, and the local furry residents are getting impatient.
It is up to you to restore the post office to its former glory. The core gameplay loop focuses on highly satisfying, stress-free organisational tasks:
- Sort and Organise: Clear out the messy backlog and arrange the post office exactly how you want it.
- Process Parcels: Weigh packages, choose the correct stamps, and apply labels for fragile or heavy goods.
- Play Your Way: Enjoy the experience completely solo, or team up with friends in up to 4-player online co-op.
- Uncover Mysteries: Unravel the hidden story behind the missing postmaster as you open up new delivery routes, tools, and abilities.
The best part? There are no timers or harsh penalties. It’s designed to be a deeply relaxing, tactile experience where you can enjoy the rhythm of a good day’s work.
Bonus Tip: If you buy the game during its first week of release, you will receive a free Supporter Pack which includes the game’s official soundtrack, a digital artbook, and a small in-game surprise. After week one, this pack will convert into paid DLC!
A Purr-fect Reception
Even before its official launch, excitement for the game has been sky-high. Cat Mail Co. has already surpassed a massive 130,000 wishlists on Steam, and its public demo has maintained an incredible 96% Positive rating from players.
If you are looking for your next wholesome gaming obsession to pair with a warm cup of tea, make sure to add this one to your Steam wishlist ahead of next week’s launch.
Cat Mail Co. officially delivers to Steam on July 9, 2026.
