The Halloween event starts on PC, PlayStation, Xbox and Epic Games Store on 12 October, with Nintendo Switch following next week. Trick cards return, while SteamDB lists a 90% discount that cuts the price to $1.99.
Players will find Trick cards back on PlateUp!'s Daily and Weekly Challenge Boards from 12 October.
Yogscast Games and It's Happening announced the Halloween event for PC and PlayStation, as well as Xbox and Epic Games Store. Nintendo Switch players are due to join next week. The Trick cards bring back a source of disruption to both challenge boards, but the announcement gives no details on individual card effects or wider changes to the rules. Independent coverage confirms the Steam sale running alongside the event, but does not independently document the event details or Switch timing.
Trick cards return
Players can dress their restaurants with Halloween decor. The new costumes and Steam Trading Cards will remain after the event, while the rest of the Halloween content is set to stay active into November.
The event starts on 12 October across the listed platforms. Switch follows next week. On Steam, PlateUp! is 90% off until 22 October. SteamDB recorded the price at $1.99, down from $19.99, on 12 October 2026. PC Guide reported the same price and identified the game as Steam Deck Verified. PlateUp! first released in August 2022. Promotional materials cite sales of more than three million copies in the context of Steam sales. Independent confirmation of more than three million copies across all platforms was unavailable, as was a platform-by-platform breakdown.
Costumes connect the kitchen to Yogscast games
The costume line-up draws on six Yogscast Games titles. A detective outfit takes inspiration from Dupery, while an astronaut costume comes from Glory on Pluto. Players can also dress as a knight from Dicealot or a witch based on Rhell: Warped Worlds & Troubled Times. Medieval costumes reference By The Royal Writ. A diver outfit nods to The Subminer.
The outfits are cosmetic links, not evidence of shared gameplay systems. The announcement uses them to point players towards the associated games. Dupery is due on 15 October. Glory on Pluto launches on 12 November, and demos are available for it and The Subminer. The announcement describes Dicealot as a roguelike and Rhell: Warped Worlds & Troubled Times as a puzzle game. By The Royal Writ is described as a roguelike deckbuilder. Dupery's detective costume also ties PlateUp! to the game's solo deduction premise. NGB has covered Dupery's launch-date details. October coverage of Dupery also repeats the claim that PlateUp! has sold more than three million copies, without independent financial reporting or a breakdown by platform.
The costumes span deduction and space roguelites, with puzzles and deckbuilding also represented. Inside PlateUp!, the practical addition is the wardrobe: players can wear the outfits while running their restaurants, with no gameplay advantage announced for any costume.
Steam gets permanent recipe cards
Steam Trading Cards are coming to PlateUp!, featuring recipes from the game. Players can collect them to fill a virtual recipe book. The cards are intended to remain available permanently, unlike the Halloween decor and returning Trick cards.
The trading-card feature is for Steam players. The event itself also reaches PC, PlayStation, Xbox and Epic Games Store at launch. The announcement gives no details on card sets or drop conditions. It also does not say whether another platform will receive an equivalent collectible feature.
