Coffee Stain Studios has shared the news that their popular factory builder Satisfactory is soon headed to Steam. The ambitious indie game originally launched one year ago exclusively on Steam’s direct competitor the Epic Games Store. Check out the new trailer which also highlights some of the many improvements and additions to the game!
The creators of the Sanctum duology and hilarious Goat Simulator successfully ventured into the more complex simulation genre with their newest project. Despite early heavy pushback from gamers for accepting an Epic deal – pun intended – Satisfactory became the biggest indie success story on the EGS. Soon, this success could accelerate even further.
While the devs weren’t able to precisely put a date on their game’s Steam release yet of fear of missing that deadline, but it’s happening very soon. Going by previous Epic Games Store exclusives, we expect Satisfactory to come out on or very shortly after March 19. That would match a one-year timed exclusivity period exactly.
