Poppy Playtime Chapter 5 has finally arrived with a release date of February 18, 2026. This new chapter is part of the popular horror game series created by Mob Entertainment, and it adds fresh scares, puzzles, and story beats for fans to dive into.
This guide will walk you through how to download it the right way. The official release is on PC first, and you need the main game to access Chapter 5.
What you need before downloading Poppy Playtime chapter 5?
Poppy Playtime Chapter 5 is not a standalone game. It is an add‑on to the base game. You must have the original Poppy Playtime installed on your computer.
If you do not have the base game yet, install it first. You can get it from the Steam store or the Epic Games Store once the DLC is live. The base game is usually free or low cost, but check the store for the latest info.
You will also need a PC that meets the basic requirements to run the game smoothly. If your system is too old or weak, the download might fail or run poorly.
How to download Poppy Playtime chapter 5 on Steam or Epic
Once Chapter 5 is live on February 18, 2026, you can download it like this:
First, open the Steam app on your PC. Go to your game library and find Poppy Playtime. On the game’s page, look for the “DLC” or “Add‑Ons” tab. When you see “Chapter 5,” select it and install. Steam will download the files and add them to your main game.
If you prefer the Epic Games Store, open the Epic launcher on your PC. Search for Poppy Playtime and find the Chapter 5 add‑on. Click download or purchase, then let the launcher install it.
After the download finishes, launch the game from your library to play Chapter 5. Make sure the base game is updated before you try to open the new chapter.
For now, console and mobile versions may come later. The PC release is the first one available today.
