Bugsnax made its PC debut in November 2020 on the Epic Games Store. Well, it's nearing a year since its release now and you know what that means? Yep, Bugsnax is coming to Steam though it won't seem to release until at least 2022. The team confirmed the Bugsnax Steam release via Twitter earlier today.
Developer Young Horses is also teasing "some meaty news and a few juicy surprises to get people talkin' 'bout Bugsnax again later this year." It isn't exactly clear yet what this means. Will fans get a major piece of DLC to sink their teeth into? Will it get a sequel? Will it be both? We just don't know yet.
Bugsnax was one of the earliest "free" game offerings for PlayStation Plus subscribers on the PlayStation 5. The game was also released for the PlayStation 4. Despite the game being available through Plus, Young Horses say that the game has sold more copies than its previous release, Octodad: Dadliest Catch.
Just in case you needed a refresher, I've included the Bugsnax launch trailer below.
