Radiant Exodus Returns to Paid Model on Steam November 17
Developer Horrawr said players who add the survival horror FPS to their Steam library while it is free will keep it permanently.
Horrawr announced in a Steam Community post that Radiant Exodus will stop being free to keep and return to a paid model on November 17, 2026. Players who add the game to their Steam library while it remains free will keep it permanently, according to the developer.
The change was reported by gamerant.com. At the time of writing, Radiant Exodus holds around 50 Steam reviews, with more than 90% of them positive.
Radiant Exodus launched on Steam on May 24, 2025 with a $4.99 price tag. After several price adjustments, Horrawr made the game free to play in August 2026, saying it wanted more players to experience it without a purchase.
The game casts players as Sarah, a former military trooper, in a survival horror FPS. Horrawr's decision follows a similar path taken by Cyberfrags '69, a multiplayer FPS on Steam that also started as a paid title before its developer made it free to play.
