Why is it on Epic and not on Steam?

World of Goo 2 would not exist if Epic had not helped us fund the game! We were able to hire artists and engineers for multiple years to help us build the biggest game we've ever made. We're grateful for this! You've likely seen similar arrangements with other games, and I imagine ours is comparable.

If you don't use Epic, that's ok. You can always get World of Goo 2 right here on this page, DRM-free, for Win / Mac / Linux. Just scroll up there. And if you have a Nintendo Switch, you can get it on the eShop directly on your device.

But I want to play it on my heavy computer that's strapped to my face and sprays pixels into my eyeballs.

Someone in Chapter 4 wants to have a conversation with you.

How did you fit so much goo into this game?

Computers have come a long way in the last 16 years!

I used to play the original World of Goo when I was a kid. Will this make me feel like a kid again?

You might be able to visit for a while.

I missed you, World of Goo!

We hope you will love it as much as we've loved building and discovering this new world! You can read our first interview about the game here.

Ah nice, missed that it released. Shame about the epic store limitation but nice of them to allow you to buy it from them directly. Would prefer to buy it on Steam so i can play it on my deck though

Should be very easy to install it on the Steam Deck from the website, especially as it even has a native Linux version.

That'd be neat, I'll Google to see if someone has tried it. Otherwise I'll just wait till it comes to steam, which I hope it will eventually

Just install it and add it as a non-Steam game. It's not Deck-specific, that's just how Steam works.
