Vigor News

Play Free Now!

Hei Outlanders,

The moment everyone had been waiting for has finally arrived! Vigor is now available for free on Steam! Getting to this point was the culmination of a lot of hard work and dedication. Granted, we might be a bit late to the party (releasing on Steam), but better late than never.

For the Outlanders who purchased the Reinforcements Pack during Early Access, thank you for your support and for providing us with valuable feedback. We hope you'll be wearing the exclusive uniform and title with pride in the Outlands. And for those who wishlisted Vigor on Steam and waited for the day the game goes free-to-play, the wait is over. You can now dive into the Outlands and enjoy the full experience with a mouse and keyboard. As a thank you to all players, we've added the Demolitionist's Cap (Fresh Meat) in the Featured Store for free for a limited time. It's available for all players on all platforms!

Since this is a brand-new chapter for many players, we'd like to clear up some questions you might have in advance, so here goes:

[h2]What Season will the PC port start from?[/h2]
The full PC release is synced with the Season that's currently on consoles as well, which means players will get to experience Chronicles: Genesis on their PC.

[h2]What about cosmetics from past Seasons? [/h2]
Currently, you can buy all previous cosmetics from past Seasons from the Store, but we're also working on gradually releasing fan favorite packs from past Seasons. With the full release on PC, you can find the Vigor - Trappers Pack, Vigor - Vengeance Pack, and Vigor - Reckoning Pack for a reduced price.

[h2]Is there crossplay?[/h2]
Right now, no. But we intend to implement crossplay with the option to turn it on or off.

[h2]Is there coop?[/h2]
Yes! We've unlocked the feature to play with your friends in Encounters. Test out Duos and Trios in the Outlands.

[h2]What about cross-progression?[/h2]
Right now, we don't plan to add cross-progression into the game.



As we mentioned before, all progress made during Early Access is now wiped. That includes obtained cosmetics, plans, and all Shelter Improvements. Everyone on PC will start fresh. The only thing you'll get to keep are the contents of the Vigor Reinforcements Pack.

And now, let's dive into the actual contents of the full release! As we mentioned above, you'll get to play through Vigor Chronicles: Genesis. This update introduces Eikevjen as a new Encounter map, an 80s action heroes-inspired Battle Pass, the Tyr M46 pistol, Chinese localization, the much-awaited Weapon Overhaul, the Vigor - Rebel Pack, and the Vigor - Last Judgement Premium Pack among other things!

We hope you're as excited as we are for this journey through the apocalypse on PC, and we encourage you to leave your feedback and suggestions through our feedback tracker so that together we can continue polishing and optimizing the game to create a better gaming experience!

Let the grind begin, and we'll see you in the Outlands!

DayZ dev finally reveals when survival game Vigor will be free on PC

Between DayZ and Arma, Bohemia Interactive has long dominated the zombie survival and sandbox milsim genres. With hundreds of thousands of players across both games, each is still getting expansions, sales, and support today. Vigor blends the two. A post-apocalyptic survival shooter where you need to extract loot and upgrade a shelter, it hasn't been nearly as popular as its Bohemia siblings on PC. This could finally be about to change though, as Bohemia has at long last teased the free-to-play launch of the Steam version, with crossplay to follow.
