Cosmic Crossover launches its roguelike basketball sim

Cosmic Crossover: Roguelike Basketball launched on Steam on August 15, 2026. The simulation asks a coach to draft alien players, build synergies and survive three tournaments without directly controlling possession.

Cosmic Crossover: confirmed details

Five-player squads draw from characters with authored abilities, races and play styles that activate team bonuses. Matches run through live play-by-play, pausing at quarter breaks for matchup and tactical adjustments. Relics and equipment can support pace, defense, foul pressure or a superstar, while losses reduce coach health during the run. The official store listing credits EJ Applications as developer and publisher.

What changed for players

Because substitutions are locked during play, drafting and pregame equipment determine which answers remain available in the fourth quarter. Quarter-break choices still keep the coach involved, and the sequence from Asteroid Open to Galactic Cup gives each run a clear competitive structure rather than an endless series of exhibitions.

Availability and lasting context

Cosmic Crossover: Roguelike Basketball is listed as a released product rather than an Early Access build. Normal patches may still change performance, balance and interface details after launch. The confirmed release supports Windows. Store availability and supported languages can vary by account region. Pricing, online availability and later updates should be checked on the live store page rather than treated as permanent facts.

This report separates features released on the stated date from later patches and community expectations. Balance values and platform support can change, but the documented release history remains the same.
