Sons of the Forest had a stellar debut at the beginning of 2023, amassing a great amount of players with its early access launch. Now, a year after that, Endnight Games is ready to launch the full version of the game with patch 1.0.
Here is all the relevant info that has been revealed so far about the new update so you can read about it before trying it out.
Release date
Version 1.0 for Sons of the Forest will be released on Thursday, February 22, 2024. According to the timer appearing in-game, the update should come out around 5 pm PT/8 pm ET/Friday, February 23 at 1 am GMT.
The game is only available for PC users via Steam and no plans for a release on other consoles have been announced as of yet. However, since the previous title, The Forest, was launched for consoles after its PC release, there's a chance this sequel will follow that same path.
