2025's best survival game just got a huge update that adds an ultra-hard mode and one of the community's most requested features

Scientists holding sci-fi weapons.

Deep Field Games just can't stop adding to Abiotic Factor. Consistently impressive through its early access development, the enormous 1.0 version was crowned "one of the greatest survival crafting games ever made" by Morgan Park in his Abiotic Factor Review. While I haven't delved as deeply as Morgan, I've likewise been bedazzled by its sumptuous survival adventure through a vast underground facility and branching pocket dimensions.

Following the 1.0 launch, Deep Field Games could easily have clocked out from their years-long shift at the GATE Cascade Research Facility. Instead, they've been burning the midnight oil, supplementing their energy with cans of sugary Pop Snarkle and nourishing alien soup. The result is a beefy new update for Abiotic Factor that adds whole new ways to enjoy and/or suffer through its Half-Life-inspired science maze.
