Ukrainian Studio's Airline Co-op Dear Passengers Logs 500K Steam Wishlists in Hours

Ukrainian Studio's airline co-op Dear Passengers logs 500K Steam wishlists in hours after making its Steam debut. Kyiv-based studio FLEXUS announced the physics-based online co-op game on July 14, 2026, describing a setup where one player pilots a failing budget airline while the rest manage passengers, cargo, and escalating in-flight disasters. Studio co-founder Semyon Kozyura told dev.ua that the wishlist page recorded more than 500,000 additions within hours, though the figure was not independently verified. The Game Awards’ official Instagram account shared the launch trailer, which surpassed 100,000 likes. Dear Passengers is slated for 2026 with no confirmed release date or price; Steam lists Windows only and does not yet show Steam Deck compatibility. FLEXUS was founded in Kyiv in 2020 and says it has 300 million+ downloads across 150+ countries.
