Where to Download Sandustry

Straight answer: Sandustry is sold on Steam, GOG, and the Microsoft Store, is included in PC Game Pass, and has a free demo on Steam plus a free official browser version on itch.io. Here is every official channel — and only official channels.

The Channel Matrix (Verified August 20, 2026)

Intro discounts run through August 27, 2026. Same-day release (August 13, 2026) on Steam, GOG and the Microsoft Store.

Which Channel Should You Pick?

Steam is the mainline: all three desktop platforms, plus the Steam Workshop mod ecosystem the developer actively supports. GOG carries the same game DRM-free at the same discount — the only 1-cent difference is rounding.

The Microsoft Store route matters mainly for Game Pass: if you have PC Game Pass or Ultimate, the game is included at no extra cost. Note that Workshop mod support in the Microsoft build is not documented anywhere (unverified).

A curiosity worth knowing: the developer's own site (sandustry.com) links only Steam, the demo, and itch.io — GOG and the Microsoft Store are real official listings, verified through the stores' own catalogs.

A Note on "Free Download" Searches

The only legitimate free ways to play are the Steam demo, the itch.io browser version, and Game Pass (if subscribed). This site does not link pirated builds — beyond the legal issue, repacked builds bypass the rapid Early Access patch stream (three patches in the first week alone) and Workshop support.
