The Girl in the Window Updates and Versions
Where the Hidden Town opener lives in 2026, and what actually changed between phones and PC.
The Girl in the Window is a released game. Android players have had it since 2019. iOS and Steam caught up in 2026, with the PC storefront unlocking on 31 August 2026. This hub is version news, not puzzle news. Locks still randomize; that is not a patch note — see randomized puzzles.
Current platforms
- Steam — Dark Dome Studios, app 4700560, single-player, family sharing, tiny disk footprint. Deep dive: Steam launch.
- Android — Google Play, 10 million-plus downloads, ~4.7 stars, optional Premium. Deep dive: mobile versions.
- iOS — App Store paid puzzle, iPhone-focused, Family Sharing, language pack updates through 2026.
There is no console edition announced in the materials we tracked. There is no multiplayer patch coming, because the design is one cursor.
What “updates” means for this title
This is not a live-service calendar. You will not get weekly gift codes. When Dark Dome ships a store tweak — Chinese language support on iOS, a Steam page going live, a hint-button change — it belongs here. When you fail a safe, that belongs on vampire safe, not on this hub.
Mobile listings sometimes show “First version” in the what’s-new field even after years of being available. Treat store fluff as fluff. The puzzles documented in the walkthrough still match current builds.
2026 in brief
- Steam page public with a 31 August 2026 release
- iOS live as a paid app with version notes in May 2026 for language support
- Android still the volume leader; APK 1.2.98 landed around 1–4 August 2026
- Version table: patch notes; APK 1.2.98 landed around 1–4 August 2026
- Version table: patch notes
- Hidden Town catalogue also gaining Steam pages (Ghost Case, Nowhere House, and others) — series context on Hidden Town
If you are choosing a storefront today, the review compares length and ads. Steam is the clean purchase. Android is the free-with-Premium split. iOS is a small paid app.
How we date this wiki
Titles on girlinthewindow.wiki stamp the current month automatically so search results look fresh. The underlying facts — released, single-player, randomized locks — change only when Dark Dome changes them. We will not pretend a new season dropped if it did not.
For studio channels, use official links. For first-hour help after you install the Steam build, skip this hub and open Getting Started.
Patch expectations
A 100 MB point-and-click does not need a 50 GB day-one patch. If Steam Deck verification appears later, we will note it on the Steam article. If randomization were ever frozen (it has not been), that would be actual news. Until then, your “update” as a player is: the game is out, pick a platform, count your own leaves.
The house has been waiting since 2019. PC players are simply late to the window.
