Mahjong Encyclopedia launches cross-platform matches

Mahjong Encyclopedia launched on Steam on August 16, 2026. The free 3D mahjong game supports multiple rulesets, searchable replays and play across Windows, iOS and Android.

Mahjong Encyclopedia: confirmed details

Players can choose a variant when creating a match, join online PvP or co-op sessions, and switch to a pure single-player mode when a network connection is unavailable. The official listing names Hans, Hant and English language support and says more rules will be added through feedback. The official store listing credits Bad Murloc Studio as developer and publisher.

What changed for players

Rule selection matters because mahjong scoring and legal hands vary substantially between formats. Replays provide a way to revisit those decisions, while cross-platform support gives a group more options for assembling a table without requiring every participant to use a PC.

Availability and lasting context

Mahjong Encyclopedia 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, with cross-play to the listed mobile versions. 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.
