Slay the Spire 2 Is Now Live on Steam Early Access With Four-Player Co-Op

The studio outlines a 1–2 year Early Access roadmap centered on iterative updates through in‑game feedback.

Overview

  • Steam’s global unlock hit on March 5 at 10 a.m. PT / 1 p.m. ET / 6 p.m. GMT, confirming the coordinated release time shared in a Reddit AMA.
  • Early Access is initially available only on Windows PC via Steam.
  • New systems expand the deckbuilder formula, including card enchantments, enemy card-afflictions, and a new Quest card type explained by developer Jonathan Cook.
  • Mega Crit says it will add and rebalance cards, events, environments, and enemies throughout Early Access, and it expects a higher price after full release.
  • Launch-day traction was strong, with Dexerto reporting more than 150,000 concurrent Steam players within hours, ahead of Bungie’s Marathon at that snapshot.
