The Dead We Knew Steam
THE DEAD WE KNEW on Steam: store page, Early Access launch, download size, achievements and DLC — the only official PC storefront, explained.
Last updated
THE DEAD WE KNEW: Open World Survival is available exclusively on Steam for PC — it is the game's only storefront, and the store page is effectively the game's official home. There is no Epic Games Store or GOG version, and no console equivalent.

Finding the real store page
The game's full title is THE DEAD WE KNEW: Open World Survival, developed and published by MAY19 STUDIO. Search Steam for "THE DEAD WE KNEW" and match the developer name — title-similar zombie games are everywhere, and aggregator sites routinely mix listings between them. The safest path is the official link from the developer's own Discord or social channels.
What buying on Steam gets you
- The base game with no in-game purchases — one price, full access to solo play, 4-player online co-op and the launch server lineup.
- Steam refund protection — under two hours played and fourteen days owned, which is the practical way to test performance on your hardware. Check the system requirements first so you know what you are testing against.
- Early Access participation — you are buying into a game that will keep changing; see Early Access explained for what that means here.
- Community features — the Steam community hub carries discussions, screenshots and player guides as they appear.
Wishlist, reviews and the first days
Now that the game has launched, the store page's review section is the fastest-read sentiment source — a small handful of reviews appeared in the first hours, which is far too small a sample to call a verdict. For a structured take on launch trust, see is it a scam? — and for where the game is heading, the launch tracker logs dated entries as things happen.
