GoKawiilOpenTTD has been available on the Steam Store for the past five years. During that time, we’ve built up an incredible player base, attracting lots of new players to the game. Starting today however, OpenTTD will no longer be directly available as a standalone game on Steam. It can instead be obtained as part of a bundle alongside the original Transport Tycoon Deluxe, which has been re-released by Atari and is now available to purchase via Steam for Windows, Mac, and Linux. You can purchase the bundle here for $9.99.
Please read on for more details on this change.
What does this mean for you?
If you already own OpenTTD on Steam, nothing changes. You’ll continue to receive game updates as usual. If you ever need to re-download the game, the game will remain in your Steam library.
For any new players interested in owning OpenTTD on Steam or GOG, you will need to purchase the Transport Tycoon Deluxe / OpenTTD bundle, allowing access to both the original Transport Tycoon Deluxe and OpenTTD as separate products.
Wait, is the game no longer free?
The game remains free. However, to download OpenTTD on Steam moving forward, you must purchase the original Transport Tycoon Deluxe game alongside it.
