How the Shift At Midnight Server Browser Works

Steam-only was announced; treat current visibility as build-dependent until confirmed.

EVIDENCE-AWARE / ENGLISH / REVIEWED 2026-07-24

The developer announced a Steam-only public server browser for launch or shortly after. If it is absent, update Steam and check the current patch notes rather than assuming Xbox or Game Pass should expose the same browser.
