The deal at a glance
- Price: US$11.99 for the base game.
- Platform: Steam for Windows PC; this purchase does not supply a console copy.
- Sale end: November 2, 2026, according to Red Barrels’ October 29 announcement. It does not specify an exact time or timezone; check the checkout price rather than assuming the offer lasts until midnight.
- Edition check: choose the base-game listing. The Reagent Starter Pack Edition and franchise bundle are separate purchases.
Why it is worth a look
Steam’s English-language review summary showed 93% positive from 45,045 reviews when checked. It is an audience signal, not a hands-on verdict.
The game supports solo play or online co-op with up to four players. Expect graphic violence, gore and other mature material; this is not a family-friendly bargain.
Check your PC before buying
The Steam listing requires broadband internet and 40 GB of storage. It also discloses kernel-level Easy Anti-Cheat, with manual removal required after uninstalling the game. Check all requirements before buying.
New on Switch 2 does not mean the same price
Red Barrels also announced a Nintendo Switch 2 release on October 29, with full crossplay and the Season 7.2 update included. Its announced digital price is $39.99 USD—not the $11.99 Steam deal. If portability is your priority, compare the correct platform listing rather than buying the cheaper PC version by mistake.
