Add Dear Passengers to your Steam wishlist in a few clicks. The game has passed 2,000,000 wishlists and ranks third most-wishlisted.
Dear Passengers Wishlist: How to Add the Game on Steam
Quick answer: Open the Dear Passengers store page while signed in to Steam and press Add to your wishlist. That is the whole procedure, and it costs nothing. The button matters more than usual here: Dear Passengers has no release date and no price yet, so a wishlist entry is how Steam notifies you the moment either one is announced. The game sits above 2,000,000 wishlists as of July 31, 2026.
How to Add Dear Passengers to Your Steam Wishlist
The store page is a coming-soon listing, and wishlisting is the only action it currently supports. There is no buy button, no demo and no pre-order.
| Step | What to do | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | Sign in to Steam in your browser or client | The button needs an account |
| 2 | Open the Dear Passengers store page, app 4534960 | Search the name or follow the link from this site |
| 3 | Press Add to your wishlist | On a phone, the same button reads Add to your wishlist under the trailer |
| 4 | Optional: press Follow for news posts | That puts official updates in your Steam activity feed |
| 5 | Optional: enable Steam notification settings | Email and client notifications cover price and release announcements |

You can remove a wishlist entry at any time from your account page, so there is no commitment involved. Wishlist visibility settings also let you keep the game off your public profile if you would rather not share it.
What a Wishlist Does Before Launch
A wishlist on an unreleased game is a notification subscription with a side effect. The notification part is for you; the side effect is for the developer.
| Effect | Who benefits | Detail |
|---|---|---|
| Launch and price notifications | You | Steam alerts you when the game releases and when it is discounted |
| Store page visibility | Developer | Wishlist totals feed Steam's discovery and recommendation systems |
| Chart position | Developer | Most-wishlisted rankings are calculated from these counts |
| Nothing is charged | You | No money moves until the game is actually on sale |
Because the release date is only listed as 2026 and the price has not been announced, both of the alerts you care about are still pending. Nothing else on the store page can be configured in the meantime: there is no pre-purchase, no edition selector and no region price to compare. Our price and release date pages track those two gaps directly, and what is Dear Passengers covers the rest of what is confirmed.
Wishlisting takes one click today and is the only way to get an automatic ping when FLEXUS finally sets a date or a price. Players who wait for the announcement usually hear it through social media a day or two after the store page changes.
The Official Wishlist Milestone Chain
Every figure below comes from the developer or from a named outlet, with the date attached. Nothing here is an estimate.
| Date | Milestone | Source |
|---|---|---|
| July 15, 2026 | 500,000+ wishlists | dev.ua, in an interview with founder Semen Kozyura |
| July 15, 2026 | 700,000 wishlists in 36 hours | Official Steam news post |
| July 16, 2026 | 1,000,000 wishlists in two days | Official Steam news post |
| July 19, 2026 | 1,500,000 wishlists | Official Steam news post |
| July 31, 2026 | 2,000,000 wishlists and Steam Top 6 | Official Steam news post |
The July 31, 2026 post is titled "2,000,000 WISHLISTS & STEAM TOP 6!" and its body says the studio was "speedrunning Steam wishlist chart" in two weeks. The same body calls the figure two million players, which is a slip in the official copy: the title is the accurate wording, so this site counts wishlists.
Official source: 2,000,000 WISHLISTS & STEAM TOP 6! official news post
Related official posts: the 700,000 in 36 hours announcement and the 1,000,000 passengers onboard announcement.
Third-party analysis puts the speed in perspective. On July 17, 2026 the GameDiscoverCo newsletter counted one million wishlists in about three days and roughly 30,000 Steam followers, estimating that around 52,000 of those wishlists came from the studio's core audience. The same piece noted that a viral wishlist spike always contains casual, drive-by additions. Read the analyst note for the reasoning.
Since the July 31, 2026 post, the official news feed has been silent, which is why no newer milestone appears in the table. When FLEXUS publishes again, that feed is where the release date or price will land first.
Where Dear Passengers Ranks on Steam
All of the rankings below are on Steam's most-wishlisted chart. None of them is a sales ranking, because the game has never been sold.
| Date | Position | Source |
|---|---|---|
| July 16, 2026 | Top 25 most-wishlisted | Official Steam news post, two days after reveal |
| July 31, 2026 | Top 6 most-wishlisted | Official Steam news post title |
| August 7, 2026 | Fourth most-wishlisted | GamesRadar+ retrospective |
| September 5, 2026 | Third most-wishlisted | Official X account, reported September 21, 2026 |
GamesRadar+ reported the third-place position on September 21, 2026, behind Valve's Deadlock and Hello Games' Light No Fire, and ahead of Fable, Phantom Blade Zero, Resident Evil Veronica and Witchbrook. The same piece notes that the closest comparable co-op game sits down at rank twenty, and that FLEXUS has never released a game on Steam.
| Common reading | Correct reading |
|---|---|
| Two million players | 2,000,000 wishlists, per the official title |
| Top three seller | Third on the most-wishlisted chart |
| The game is a hit | It has an unusually large pre-release following |
| Wishlists equal copies | Copies are impossible until launch |
A wishlist entry is free and costs a single click, so the number measures anticipation rather than revenue. Analysts at GameDiscoverCo noted on July 17, 2026 that some share of any viral wishlist spike comes from casual, drive-by additions. Keep the chart position in proportion: it says the trailer worked, nothing about how many copies will sell.
For the wider story behind that chart run, compare the studio's background in who develops Dear Passengers, the mechanics the trailer is selling in gameplay and features, and what is actually confirmed in what is Dear Passengers.
FAQ
How do I wishlist Dear Passengers?
Sign in to Steam, open the app 4534960 store page, and press Add to your wishlist. No payment details are needed and no money is taken.
What do I get out of wishlisting an unreleased game?
Steam notifies you when the game launches and when it is discounted. Since neither the release date nor the price is announced as of September 27, 2026, those notifications have not fired yet.
How many wishlists does Dear Passengers have?
2,000,000 or more, according to the developer's official Steam news post of July 31, 2026. Earlier figures are 500,000 on July 15, 700,000 in 36 hours, one million in two days, and 1.5 million on July 19, 2026.
Does wishlisting mean the game is selling well?
No. Wishlists are free intentions, not purchases. The game is not on sale at all, and the chart everyone quotes is the most-wishlisted chart rather than the Top Sellers chart.
Can I remove the game from my wishlist later?
Yes. Wishlist entries can be removed from your Steam account page at any time, and your list can be set to private.
Is wishlisting the same as following the game?
They overlap but are not identical. Following adds the studio's news posts to your activity feed, while wishlisting drives the launch, price and discount notifications. Doing both takes two clicks and covers every official update.
