Super Glitch Dash is coming to Steam on September 9, 2026, giving David Marquardt Studios’ fast-paced first-person runner a new home on PC more than five years after its Nintendo Switch release.
The Steam version will cost $4.99, with the game once again built around short, punishing courses where players dodge blades, lasers, spikes and other obstacles while trying to keep pace with the music. David Marquardt Studios is handling both development and publishing for the PC release.
The September launch isn’t the game’s debut. Super Glitch Dash previously appeared on mobile before reaching Nintendo Switch on April 29, 2021. The new release instead marks its first arrival on Steam.

Super Glitch Dash Is Built Around Getting It Wrong Until You Get It Right
There isn’t much room for hesitation in Super Glitch Dash.
Levels send players racing forward in first person while axes swing across the path, platforms move underneath them and lasers, hammers, spikes and meat grinders turn a mistimed movement into an instant restart.
That repetition is very much the point.

Courses are handcrafted around rhythm and memorisation, so an obstacle that catches you off guard on the first attempt becomes something you are expected to anticipate the next time around. The longer you stick with a level, the more it starts to feel like learning a sequence rather than simply reacting to whatever appears on screen.
Restarts are quick, keeping the game moving even when a run lasts only a few seconds.
The Steam version also includes rail grinding and sections where gravity flips, adding another layer to courses that are already designed to punish small mistakes.
Perfect Runs Give Players Something More to Chase
Simply surviving isn’t the only goal.
Each level includes hidden collectibles, and players who want to fully master a course can chase what the developer calls a Perfect Run.

That means learning the route, finding everything hidden along the way and putting together a clean attempt without the mistakes that usually come with the first few tries.
It’s a straightforward loop, but one that suits the game’s rhythm-heavy design: fail, learn what happened, restart and try to make the next run cleaner.
The soundtrack is closely tied to the pace of each course, giving the movement a more deliberate rhythm once players have spent enough time learning what comes next.
The Steam Version Supports Controllers and Steam Deck
David Marquardt Studios is also preparing the PC version with handheld and controller play in mind.
The Steam release includes full controller support, Steam achievements and cloud saves. Its current store listing also shows relatively modest hardware requirements, including 1GB of storage.
The game is also being tested for play on Steam Deck, giving players another way to tackle its short, repeatable courses away from a desktop setup.
Its Steam interface currently supports 13 languages, including English, French, German, Italian, Japanese, Spanish, Portuguese, Russian, Swedish and Simplified and Traditional Chinese.

September Is Already Filling Up With Fast-Paced Games
Super Glitch Dash lands during an increasingly busy start to September.
GameEmpress is also tracking the Xbox Game Pass September 2026 lineup, which currently includes SpeedRunners 2: King of Speed on September 3. That sequel has its own focus on high-speed racing through obstacle-filled courses, although its competitive side-scrolling setup is very different from Super Glitch Dash’s first-person approach.

For Super Glitch Dash, the September 9 release is more about bringing an older title to a new audience than introducing an entirely new game.
Super Glitch Dash Returns More Than Five Years After Switch
The Nintendo Switch version launched in April 2021 with many of the same ideas that still define the upcoming Steam release: first-person obstacle courses, beat-driven movement and a constant stream of hazards designed to test reaction times.
The Steam listing keeps that foundation intact while putting more emphasis on handcrafted courses, fast restarts, hidden collectibles and mastering each level well enough to pull off a Perfect Run.

Super Glitch Dash Launches on Steam September 9
Super Glitch Dash will release on Steam on September 9, 2026 for $4.99.
The game is a single-player release with controller support, Steam achievements and cloud saves, while Steam Deck testing is also part of the developer’s preparations for launch.
For anyone who missed its earlier mobile and Switch versions, the Steam release offers another chance to take on its rhythm-driven obstacle courses—although judging by the game’s design, reaching the finish line will probably take more than one attempt.
