Pocketpair Publishing released its first game, Truckful, on Steam on 9 October 2026. The physics-based delivery adventure comes from Polish studio MythicOwl, and the label belongs to Tokyo-based Pocketpair. The Steam store lists 9 October as the release date; Pocketpair’s Japanese announcement, carried by Oricon, gives 01:00 JST on Saturday 10 October, which is still 9 October in Europe and the Americas.
Players drive a pickup truck to deliver packages to people in a quiet rural town. Away from the roads are hidden paths, foggy marshes, swamps and quicksand, and the forest hides an old mystery. In its 9 September release, Pocketpair calls it a puzzle truck simulator built on physics: loads have to be carried, not just driven from one marker to the next.

From self-published project to Pocketpair’s first title
MythicOwl first revealed Truckful in July 2024 and planned to publish it itself. In April 2025 Pocketpair announced that its new publishing arm, set up in January 2025 to fund and publish independent developers, would release the game as its first title, Automaton reported. In September 2026 Truckful was one of the 80 games in Tokyo Game Show’s SELECTED INDIE 80 programme, which Pocketpair says was picked from more than 1,500 applications worldwide, and visitors could play it at Makuhari Messe.
For Pocketpair Publishing, the release is the first test of whether the label can turn a festival-selected indie project into a commercial one. On launch weekend Steam rated user reviews “Mostly Positive”, based on only a few dozen reviews.
