# Oxygen is now available on development stores

DateAugust 3, 2026

FlagsUpdate

SurfacesAPI

Affected APIs[Hydrogen](https://shopify.dev/changelog?api_type=hydrogen)

You can now deploy Hydrogen storefronts to Oxygen from [dev stores](https://shopify.dev/docs/apps/build/dev-dashboard/stores/development-stores). Previously, Oxygen hosting required a paid plan.

Note that development stores don't include public environments, so deployment URLs always require a store login.
