Former PlayStation exclusive Journey is set for release on Steam

Acclaimed adventure due to end year of Epic Games Store exclusivity

Thatgamecompany’s acclaimed adventure Journey will be released on Steam on June 11.

The Steam release will follow a year of PC exclusivity on the Epic Games Store, via publisher Annapurna Interactive.

Following earlier games Flow and Flower, Journey was originally the third and final title in a three-game exclusivity deal developer Thatgamecompany signed with publisher Sony.

It was first released for PS3 via PlayStation Network in March 2012 and became the fastest-selling game on the service in both the US and Europe, before arriving on PS4 in July 2015.

Thatgamecompany describes it as an “anonymous adventure” — players can meet and assist each other on their journey, but they’re unable to communicate via speech or text (instead, the game features an audio ping system) and their names aren’t revealed to one another until after the game’s been completed.

“Explore the ancient, mysterious world of Journey as you soar above ruins and glide across sands to discover its secrets,” reads the Epic Games Store product description.

“Play alone or in the company of a fellow and explore its vast world together. Featuring stunning visuals and a Grammy-nominated musical score, Journey delivers a breathtaking experience like no other.”

Journey won multiple game of the year awards and both the PS3 and PS4 versions have a score of 92 on review aggregation site Metacritic, based on 78 and 45 reviews respectively.
