GeoGuessr, the popular online geography game, is set to broaden its reach by launching a Steam edition next month. This move aims to attract a larger audience and provide enhanced competitive gameplay. Fans of the game are eagerly anticipating the new features that Steam integration will bring.
“We’re bringing Duels to Steam,” announced the GeoGuessr X account yesterday, noting that “we’re actually getting GeoGuessr on Steam before GTA 6 lmao”.
Unlike its initial browser-based release, GeoGuessr’s introduction to Steam marks a significant shift towards a more structured competitive environment. Previous expansions focused on new maps and game modes, but the transition to a dedicated platform like Steam offers improved accessibility and community engagement tools.
What New Features Does the Steam Edition Offer?
The Steam edition introduces competitive solo duels and unranked team duels. Players can engage in ranked matches, starting in the amateur division, with the opportunity to advance to the champion division. As players climb the ranks, they gain access to exclusive game modes like No Move and NMPZ.
How Can Players Access the Full Gaming Experience?
While both solo and team duels are available for free on Steam, accessing the complete solo duels experience requires purchasing a GeoGuessr Steam pass. This pass is available within the game, enabling players to unlock premium features and participate in ranked matches.
What Does the Future Hold for GeoGuessr on Steam?
The Steam edition will launch as an early access game, with developers planning to introduce new game modes, maps, and competitive features over the next six months. This phased approach aims to continually enhance the player experience and expand the game’s competitive landscape.
Launching on Steam positions GeoGuessr to solidify its presence in the competitive gaming scene. By offering a dedicated platform with enhanced features, the game is likely to attract both new players and seasoned competitors. The integration with Steam not only broadens GeoGuessr’s accessibility but also fosters a more robust and engaged community.
