The short answer
Dressmaker launched on Steam for Windows and macOS on September 21, 2026. The developer says it runs on Steam Deck but lists proper controller support as future work. Switch and mobile versions are planned; the checked announcement gives no release dates.
Available versions and announced ports
The developer’s performance statement is not a Kingy frame-rate test. A universal controller layout or graphics preset has not been verified here.
