Antivirus Survivors 2003 Professional Release Date and Price

Out now — released September 28, 2026

Antivirus Survivors 2003 Professional released on Monday, September 28, 2026 on Steam, after the developer’s release date announcement pinned the date and the launch at 14:00 UTC. The date is listed on the official Steam store page, which is the single source this wiki uses for launch facts.

Price: $5.99 with a 10% launch discount

The developer’s September 25, 2026 X post signalled a $6 price, and the store listing has now confirmed it (retrieved September 29, 2026, re-verified October 4, 2026):

Regional pricing is set per currency on the store page, so your local number may differ from the US figure. If you buy during the discount window you pay the reduced price; after October 8 the listing returns to $5.99 unless a future sale says otherwise.

Reception: Overwhelmingly Positive on Steam

The store page’s review summary read “All Reviews: Very Positive” when retrieved on September 29, 2026 — one day after launch. Re-checked on October 4, 2026, it had climbed to “All Reviews: Overwhelmingly Positive” — 769 positive reviews against 17 negative (786 total, ~98% positive). Review summaries shift as more reviews land, so treat the current store page as the live number; this page updates when the label changes tier again.
