LIVESTREAM today: Let's play First Strike together!

We're doing a First Strike livestream on Twitch today at 7pm CEST (1pm EDT / 10am PDT) to celebrate the multiplayer release! And you can join to play against us and other First Strike fans! Both PC and mobile players are invited because crossplay is possible in First Strike. This will be our first First Strike stream with a PC set up.

Follow us on Twitch to get notified when we're live:

We hope to see you in the stream!

Multiplayer out now! FOR FREE



The free DLC with the MULTIPLAYER mode for First Strike is here!

Don't forget to update the main game, the DLC only works with the latest version of First Strike. It's good to have your Steam Cloud settings activated for First Strike, so that your save file stays secured, while the app gets updated.

You will have a new button in the main menu that leads you to the multiplayer mode.

Tell your friends and challenge each other to nuclear war battles!

[h2]PLEASE NOTE: Keyboard shortcuts are disabled in multiplayer[/h2]

The keyboard shortcuts are deactivated in the multiplayer on purpose. The multiplayer has crossplay, which means PC players and mobile players play together. The shortcuts would be a big advantage for PC players and make it unfair for mobile players. Disabling shortcuts was a necessary compromise. The PC player base is not big enough to not have crossplay, so we have to mix the players and make it at least fair for everyone.

[h3][h2]GIVEAWAY[/h2][/h3]

To celebrate the release, we are giving away three $25 Steam Gift Cards! Enter the giveaway HERE!

Multiplayer is coming to PC! FOR FREE

Yes, it’s happening! The multiplayer mode for FIRST STRIKE will be released as a FREE DLC on August 31. Soon, you can wage nuclear war against your friends and other players from all over the world on PC!



Features of the multiplayer mode will be:
  • Play online PvP matches with up to 10 players!
  • Choose from the twelve classic superpower nations like USA, Russia or North Korea and use their special superweapons like the Tsar Bomba or Dirty Radium Bomb.
  • Host a private game and send an invite code to your friends. Or set the room to public and let other players join via the fast quickplay function.
  • Activate modifiers to even out the playing field. Pick the “Balanced Start” or “Small State Support” modifiers for a more balanced experience for all players. Or keep the different power levels of the competing nations with the “Classic Mode”.
  • Connect with allies or tease your enemies with quick emoji messages in the in-game chat.


To celebrate, we are doing a GIVEAWAY! We are giving away three Steam Gift Cards, each worth 25 USD.
