Frostrail Demo Out Now!

You Can Now Play the Frostrail Demo!

Hello everyone,

Let’s celebrate Steam Next Fest with another chance to play Frostrail for free! If this is your first time aboard, welcome! Invite your best teammates and brave the cold together. Frostrail can be played solo or in co-op with up to four players.

Your train is your home. Upgrade it, maintain it, and keep moving forward: your survival depends on it. Along the way, explore abandoned towns to gather resources and craft equipment, food, and weapons. But tread carefully: Revenants haunt these places, and they will hunt you down.

This demo offers a glimpse of what Frostrail has in store. As we get closer to our Early Access release, we want everyone to have a chance to experience the game and share their thoughts.

We’re excited to see you explore its frozen, unsettling world, and we want to hear about your journey. Your feedback is one of our most valuable resources, helping us shape Frostrail into an experience we can all enjoy.

Once you’ve completed the demo, please take a moment to fill out our survey. Tell us what you enjoyed, what could be improved, and what you’d like to see next.

Stay warm, and see you aboard!
