Evaluation
Pat the Cat launched on June 25, 2026 as a cozy desktop idle game where players pet, feed, and customize a cat companion with hundreds of cosmetic items. The game was well-received (216 reviews, 99% positive).
Following launch, the developer has already shipped post-launch content: a July 5, 2026 patch fixed a black screen transparency issue, and on July 15, 2026 the developer released a "Fishing update" adding 6 new fish (including the Zebra Pajama Salmon) along with quality-of-life improvements. This establishes that the developer is actively adding new content to the game after its 1.0 release.
The game is still young — launched June 25, 2026 — and has only one post-launch major content drop so far, making it difficult to project a long-term update cadence. However, the developer has clearly demonstrated intent and action around post-launch content additions. No specific future content has been announced beyond what has already shipped.
Evidence
Developer shipped a Fishing update adding 6 new fish and quality-of-life improvements, expanding the game's content 3 weeks after launch.
Pat the Cat officially launched on Steam on June 25, 2026.
