All Mayday games compared
People searching “Mayday game” usually want a short answer: which one is on PC, which one is on a console, and which one you can buy today. The table below is that answer. It is built from public store listings I could open on 5 November 2026. It is not an exhaustive census of every hobby project that ever used the word.
Two rows need a warning before you sort. Mayday Games, the shop at maydaygames.com, sells card sleeves and crokinole equipment. It is not a row in this table because it is not a video game. Google Play’s Mayday! by Mustache Game Studio is a free missile-dodging arcade game. It is not MAYDAY! Emergency Landing, the 2013 iOS flight sim by Reludo. I kept those as separate facts so the names do not collapse into one product.
What you can buy today
On Windows, the released games with a clear price were Survival Island at $13.99 (discounted to $11.19 through 16 November 2026 on the US store) and Protocol at $7.99. Protocol also lists macOS. The 2025 shooter by tamasdesign lists Windows and Linux at $4.99, with a single review and no score when the research pass read it. Mayday Trials lists $2.99 on Windows, macOS, and Linux. Skyward Studios’ Mayday is a free Windows shmup released 16 February 2026. I did not copy review text for the long-tail rows because the store pages did not show a stable score worth quoting.
Listed, not for sale
Vacay, MayDie, Mayday Airways, and CYBER MAYDAY were still “coming soon” on Steam. Vacay’s page names Windows and describes a physics boat for one to four people, a count I take from the playtest invite (“bring up to three friends”), not from a features line that says “4-player.” MayDie’s page names Windows and an eight-player social deduction setup, and it is not the Days Gone mission that shares a similar shout. Airways is a one-to-four player airline co-op with no date. CYBER MAYDAY is a Windows VR 4-versus-1 listing with the year 2026 and no day.
Switch, PlayStation, and phones
None of the Steam rows above list a Nintendo Switch, PlayStation 5, or Xbox build. Survival Island’s store record is Windows only, and a separate page walks through that absence. The one phone game I can separate cleanly is Reludo’s MAYDAY! Emergency Landing, an iOS title dated 14 March 2013 by Skich, with no Android edition in that listing. I am not folding the Google Play arcade game into that row.
