After 4 years in Early Access, the horror survival multiplayer “The Forest” by Endnight Games celebrates its release on PC with a launch trailer, the announcement of a VR version, and many new features for the game.
The successful launch on Steam is largely attributed to The Forest’s loyal fanbase. At least according to the developers.
In a press statement on Steam, the development team thanked the fans of the game who have supported them all these years.
Thus, The Forest is the result of a collaborative effort between developers and players. The community’s input was very important to the team.

- Controller support
