After a period of silence, Sons of the Forest – the survival horror game by Endnight Games – is making a strong comeback on Steam. The title has seen a significant price reduction of up to 66%, and the number of players has surged, reaching its highest point since October 2024.
Officially released in 2024 after the Early Access phase, Sons of the Forest quickly became one of the most beloved survival games on Steam, achieving a peak player count of 414,257 at launch.
However, in May of this year, the game entered a “dormant” phase with a stark decline in player numbers. But now, with attractive promotional policies, this title has made a remarkable comeback.
Specifically, the number of players in June increased to 49,853 – nearly four times compared to May. This surge is not merely a coincidence, as Sons of the Forest is currently being sold at its lowest price to date on Steam, now only 131,000 VND. The ongoing promotion, which lasts until July 10, offers a golden opportunity for gamers to experience this compelling co-op game.
Sons of the Forest transports players to a remote island, where they take on the role of a character tasked with searching for a missing person. Sound intriguing? It is. This island is also home to terrifying cannibalistic mutants and bizarre wildlife, all of which are ready to ambush players at any moment. Players must gather resources, craft equipment, and build shelters to survive through various seasons on the island.
Despite its intense and challenging nature, Sons of the Forest still offers an engaging experience – especially when playing with friends. The game allows players to collaborate to gather resources, construct shelters, and defend against the terrifying threats that lurk on the island. Unexpected moments, such as encounters with hostile creatures or stunning natural scenarios, create unforgettable memories and plenty of excitement.
Hopefully, with this substantial increase in player numbers, Sons of the Forest will continue to thrive and evolve, while Endnight Games remains committed to delivering future updates – something that the community is eagerly anticipating.
