Poppy Playtime Chapter 5 Broken Things releases on PC February 18, 2026

Mob Entertainment released Poppy Playtime: Chapter 5 - Broken Things on PC via Steam and the Epic Games Store on February 18, 2026, with a Los Angeles press release announcing the launch. The studio listed Chapter 5 as a standalone downloadable chapter that requires the free Poppy Playtime base game on Steam in order to play, and the Steam product page repeats the release date as Feb 18, 2026 while showing developer and publisher as Mob Entertainment.

The chapter continues the series’ story into Playtime Co., with official messaging framing the stakes: “Poppy Playtime: Chapter 5 - Broken Things invites players back into the heart of Playtime Co., where they’ll find out just how far they’re willing to go to fight for their survival and put an end to The Prototype.” Steam and Wikipedia materials position the opening as a direct continuation from the end of Chapter 4, noting the player starts where the previous chapter concluded with Playtime’s security system Huggy Wuggy “in hot pursuit.” Mob’s press copy warns players that “every bloody move forward will test your resolve as you uncover secrets years in the making.”

Gameplay in Chapter 5 leans into puzzles and environmental hazards, with the press release offering a straight promise: “Solve devious puzzles and overcome dangerous environmental obstacles with the power of new GrabPack tools and functionality.” Store metadata and Steam community tags reinforce that the release emphasizes horror, singleplayer puzzle work, first-person survival horror, atmosphere, and jump scares, listing tags that include Horror, Puzzle, First-Person, Survival Horror, and Lore-Rich.

The launch arrived with a new trailer and a social push from Mob Entertainment’s poppyplaytimeco accounts. Inven Global noted the trailer “offering a first look at the chapter’s environments, threats, and story beats,” while Instagram posts used copy such as “Deep within the vacant halls of the Playtime Co. lab, The Prototype stalks its unfinished work… the tattered, lifeless remains of toys that once were. Broken things. Wishlist Poppy Playtime: Chapter 5 NOW!” The account promoted a 20 percent discount on Poppy merchandise with code PLAYTIME20, and community responses included excited comments like “OMG GUYSSS LETSS GOOO I'M SOO HAPPYYYYY🙌” and “cant wait for cory to play this so that i can watch.”

Store pages and marketing materials are explicit that the purchase includes only the fifth chapter; Steam’s product description reiterates “This content requires the base game Poppy Playtime on Steam in order to play” and the Steam product snapshot captured “All Reviews: No user reviews” at the time of the listing. Mob’s press release points players to a press kit with logos, key art, and screenshots, and to follow the studio on YouTube, X, TikTok, Instagram, and Discord for updates.

The release lands as the franchise approaches larger media moves. Inven Global highlights the series’ growth since its 2021 debut to “more than 50 million players worldwide,” notes ongoing community theories and livestream reactions, and points to an upcoming feature film and cross-IP collaborations. Studio co-founders Zach and Seth Belanger said Chapter 5 aims to heighten narrative stakes and emotional atmosphere while honoring the community that helped propel the franchise. Console ports are planned for later in 2026, with Mob Entertainment and the press kit listed as the sources for further assets and trailer details.
