Overview

  • R.U.S.E., which returned to Steam on Wednesday as a Definitive Edition, now includes all past DLC for free and supports Steam Deck.
  • Eugen Systems is publishing the new release itself, and existing Steam owners keep access with the full technical update at no extra cost.
  • Early player reports indicate multiplayer is working, with community notes pointing to small changes such as a refined tutorial and a 2.4GB update.
  • The game was delisted in December 2015 after Ubisoft cited expired licenses for certain military items, and Ubisoft shut its servers in 2023.
  • The path by which Eugen regained publishing control has not been disclosed, highlighting how rights deals can shape preservation of older PC games.
