We're pleased to announce that Hyphen is returning to Steam.

Over the years we've received many messages asking if the game would ever be available again. The answer is yes. While the store page isn't live for new customers just yet, we've been working behind the scenes to ensure Hyphen is ready for modern systems before it returns.

Existing customers may have noticed an update to the game today (07/08/2026). This update focuses on improving compatibility and bringing Hyphen up to modern standards, while preserving the original gameplay experience.

• Improved performance and compatibility for Steam Deck.

• Removed legacy graphical restrictions, allowing the game to take advantage of modern display resolutions and improved image quality.

• Updated controller support so the correct button glyphs are displayed automatically for your controller and platform, including Xbox, PlayStation, and Steam Deck/SteamOS.

• Retired the native Linux build. Going forward, Linux players will use the Windows version through Proton, providing a more consistent and better-supported experience.

• Removed legacy features such as the "Brag" option upon completion of a level, that was cool in 2013, not so much now!

Our goal has always been to preserve the original Hyphen experience while ensuring it continues to run well on today's hardware.

Thank you to everyone who has supported Hyphen over the years, whether you've been playing since its original release or have contacted us asking for its return. Your support and enthusiasm have meant a great deal to us, and we're looking forward to making Hyphen available to purchase again very soon.

See you back in Hyphen!
