Subnautica 2 has officially launched in Early Access on Steam, reaching 465,000 concurrent players and 1 million copies sold on launch day. Fans are cautiously optimistic after the mixed reception of Below Zero.

Road to Vostok has sold more than 250,000 copies on Steam a little over two weeks after its Early Access launch. Developer Antti says that run funds the full roadmap, with one more stability patch due in 2-3 weeks and Build 2 "Nomads" aimed at Q3 2026.

Windrose passed 500,000 copies in 48 hours after its Apr. 14, 2026 Early Access launch, with the Steam News post also citing nearly 100,000 concurrent players. The r/pcgaming post had 744 points and 231 comments at crawl time.

Windrose reached Steam Early Access for Windows on Apr 14, 2026 with a 10% introductory discount that cuts the launch price from $29.99 to $26.99 through Apr 21. The store page lists Kraken Express as developer, Pocketpair Publishing (Japan) as co-publisher, and early review sentiment at 89% positive from 2,038 English reviews.

Funcom says more than 80% of lifetime players have stayed in PvE content, driving a split between PvE and PvP Deep Desert instances. The same April 2026 update also outlines self-hosted servers with customizable settings, transfer rules, and substantial setup requirements.

Rock Paper Shotgun says the developer behind Road to Vostok believes the game's Steam start has secured years of production budget after its April 7 Early Access launch. Public Steam data separately shows a 2-4 year Early Access plan and a long pre-launch demo trail.

The hot r/gamernews post around Restored Land points to something bigger than a routine content drop. With a March 26 launch and free access for existing owners, Techland is repositioning Dying Light: The Beast around harsher survival systems rather than just stacking on extra missions.

Hinterland has released Episode Five: The Light at the End of All Things as a free update for existing owners, bringing The Long Dark's long-running WINTERMUTE story to its finale.

Stunlock said in a 2026-03-26 dev update that no new V Rising content update is in development, future support will focus on balance and bug-fixing patches, and the studio has begun a new game set in the same gothic world.

Techland says Dying Light: The Beast Restored Land bundles the full game, all post-release content, and a new ruleset where enemies and loot do not respawn normally. Existing players receive the March 26 update for free.
