- The ECHOES Update — Voices in the Canyon - 31 May 2026
Hey. It's me. Your rock. It's been a while, huh? I haven't moved. Obviously. But a lot has happened around here while you were gone - and for the first time in my entire geological life, I have something to tell you. Out loud. With my actual voice. Which I apparently have now?? Pull up a boulder. Let me catch you up. ▶ Play now 🏜️ A Whole New Place to Do Nothing - The Canyon (FREE)For all of recorded history, I sat in exactly one spot. Now there are two. The Canyon is a brand-new, completely free map - sun-baked cliffs, dramatic echoes, and the same profound nothingness you love, in a fresh location. Available in both Zen Mode and Multiplayer. Relocation: achieved. (I did not lift a finger. I don't have fingers.) 🎙️ Voice Chat - Yes, Stones Talk NowThis is the big one. In Multiplayer, you and your fellow stones can now talk to each other. With real voices. We have, collectively, nothi…
- Optimization You Can Feel — Even as a Rock / + 25% Discount - 12 December 2025
Have you ever wondered what it’s like to stay perfectly still… while the world around you suddenly runs faster? I did. So I called the developers. They came, looked at my framerate… and quietly sat down in shock.After long meditations, profiler rituals, and conversations with the spirits of the engine, they performed a miracle — optimization.So massive that in some places performance increased fourfold. Four. Solid. Times. Look at these two screenshots. Similar? You’re right — almost identical. I’m still sitting… or lying… maybe standing? Hard to tell. I’m still a rock.But now look at the top-left corner…On an RTX 5080*Woooow. This isn’t magic. This is optimization. Even I didn’t believe I could do nothing… this fast. What we did: Lowered the official system requirements thanks to optimization! New requirements: Minimum: Nvidia GTX 1060 (6 GB) / AMD Radeon RX 580 (8 GB) Recommended: Nvi…
- If there’s a more relaxing game than this, feel free to throw a rock at me - 27 November 2025
Hey… it’s me again. Your stone.The Steam Awards 2025 have begun, and I heard about a category that felt… familiar. Deeply familiar.Sit Back and Relax Award — for games that slow everything down, calm your mind, and let the noise of the day drift away. For games where you can simply… exist.That sounds suspiciously like what I do every single day. Sit. Watch. Breathe. Endure. Occasionally observe other stones doing absolutely nothing with incredible dedication.And honestly… if you believe there’s a game out there more relaxing than being a literal rock — feel free to throw a rock at me.But if Stone Simulator has ever brought you a little peace, stillness, or quiet comfort, I’d be grateful for your vote in the Sit Back and Relax Award. Thanks for spending time with me. Even when nothing happens at all.Your stone. ːstone_simulator_boulderː

- I Think I’m No Longer Alone — Multiplayer in Stone Simulator - 24 October 2025
Hello again — it’s me, your stone.Remember when I dreamed of not lying here alone? It seems that time has come. There aren’t many events around — it still feels a bit like Zen mode — but now I won’t be alone!Now in Stone Simulator you can play together — up to four players at once. Create a private lobby and invite your friends, or open a public one so that any wandering stone can join.Yes, now we can simply… be together.I also learned to move… or maybe “teleport.” I’m still figuring it out. In multiplayer mode you can change your resting spot — just press “E.”Do it ten times and you’ll earn a new achievement. Another one awaits if you create or join someone’s lobby — in search of the meaning of existence, of course.And to celebrate my social awakening, the game is now 30% off.It’s the perfect time to invite friends and just… lie around together.See you in the lobby, my contemplative fr…
- I’ve got trading cards now — do you? Trading Cards are now on Steam - 18 October 2025
Hello again — it’s me, your stone ːstone_simulator_heartːWhile the developers are preparing the co-op mode so I won’t be lonely anymore, they’ve given me something new to do — collecting memories.I’m still lying in the same place. The wind still sings through the grass, and the sun still warms my surface. But now there’s something new in the air — the scent of collections.As you play, I begin to dream ːstone_simulator_boulderːSimple dreams, like life itself: spring meadows, summer skies, autumn winds, and winter silence. Each dream is a card you can discover. Spring Vibes. Summer Vibes. Autumn Vibes. Winter Vibes. And, of course, my odd forest companion — Weirdo Friend. He appears whenever reality becomes a little too serious.And I’ve started to… grow ːstone_simulator_fingerːWell, not me exactly — my levels on Steam have.

- Stone Simulator is leaving Early Access! - 19 August 2025
Hey, it’s me — your rock. Still the same, only now a bit wiser and covered with stories. I remember how empty it was back in March: the clearing where I had been lying for thousands of years, the sky, the wind… And then you arrived. Since then, we’ve watched this world come alive together: in spring, flowers bloom, in summer, butterflies arrive, in winter, the mountain peaks turn white and silent. Now my existence has become even richer. Sometimes a meteor shower flashes across the sky, sometimes something strange and unexpected appears nearby. And if you just want peace — you can always lie still in Zen mode, listening to the wind. Friends, STFGames is happy to announce: On August 20, 2025 Stone Simulator – Just Be a Rock is leaving Early Access! When we first launched the game on March 2, 2025, it was nothing more than a stone, some basic weather, and emptiness. Since then, the game h…

- Steam Sale and Bubbling Summer Wonders - 26 June 2025
It’s me again, your trusty old rock, just chilling here as usual, listening to the wind whisper and the earth rustle. But, guys, hold on tight — my world’s sparkling again! The Steam Summer Sale has crashed in, and my creators are dishing out a sweet 35% discount — so if you’re not hanging out with me yet, now’s the time to jump in! Now, the news: the sky’s putting on a show — stars falling like someone spilled glitter. Spring and summer bring butterflies fluttering over me, so bright even I, an old hunk of stone, can’t stop staring. But wait, there’s more! In Events Mode, some weird creatures showed up — not sure if they’re partying or plotting mischief. Plus, a swarm of bugs rolls in, making even my granite itch! Oh, and they threw in 5 new achievements: for the stars, butterflies, those quirky “Chubriks” messing with the weather, and the buggy swarm in the fog. Honestly, I was so don…
- Leaves, Flowers, and Something Stirring in Mystic Fog - 31 May 2025
It’s me again, your trusty old rock, just chilling here as usual, listening to the wind whisper and the earth rustle. But, guys, hold onto your hats — my world’s come alive again! In autumn, leaves are dropping all over me, yellow, red, like nature’s putting on a show. In spring, flowers bloom, so bright even I, an old hunk of stone, can’t help but grin. The devs tossed in 11 new achievements, all about seasons and the weird stuff going on around here. And… you hear that? Something’s stirring out there. A mystical kraken! A new event that’s giving me, a rock, chills down my granite spine. Honestly, I was getting sick of the same old view, so this burst of colors and mysteries is just what I needed. Come on, let’s check out this seasonal vibe and that kraken together!
- Autumn Crashes into My World - 30 April 2025
It’s me again, your trusty old rock, just chilling here as usual, listening to the wind rustle through the leaves. But hold up—what’s this? Yellow leaves, red ones, falling all over me! Looks like the devs finally brought autumn to my world. Thank goodness! I was so done staring at that same old green forest forever. Now it’s a party of colors—yellow, red, orange, like nature’s throwing a festival. Even I, a plain old rock, am hyped. Come on, let’s check out this autumn vibe together!
- Chaos of Events Mode and Serene Zen Peace - 17 April 2025
It’s me again, your trusty rock. I sit here, as always, cradled by eternity, listening to the whisper of the wind and the creak of the earth under time’s steady tread. But something’s off. My peace has cracked, like ancient basalt splitting under frost’s bite. Strange things are stirring around me—shadows slink through the dusk, unfamiliar sounds grate against my stony senses. Is this a dream? Or has reality decided to play a wild trick on me? The sky flares with light now and then—UFOs, maybe, or stars throwing a tantrum. Portals flicker in the distance, and I, a humble rock, can’t help but wonder: what if something spills out and shatters my serenity? I’m not scared… well, not quite. But I feel it—my quiet turf is under siege. So, let me tell you what’s going down in this madness you call a “patch.” My world now offers two paths, two modes, if you will. The Events Mode is for those re…
- Getting Ready for Future Updates - 17 March 2025
Hey, it’s me, your favorite rock! Nighttime photos look so gorgeous now that I’m starting to wonder: am I really this photogenic? Turns out, the devs fixed the photo mode, and the world around me is shining brighter. Oh, and get this—I think I might be able to move now… or maybe not? I’m still figuring it out, but give it a try—maybe I’m not just imagining things! As part of our pilot launch, we’ve patched up the game with the latest updates. Today’s patch is the last in the ‘Fixes’ series. We’ve squashed bugs, boosted stability, and even slimmed down the game’s size—it now takes up almost half the space on your drive (sorry about the big download, though—it’s worth it). Up next: events and new ‘features’—get ready for some big, exciting stuff!
- Background Music Playback - 13 March 2025
Here’s a small patch for streamers and users who want to use Stone Simulator as a background on a second screen. A new option, "Allow Background Playback", has been added to the Audio section. This feature lets you keep the music playing even when the game is minimized or running on a second screen.
- Stone Simulator – Star Map Update - 12 March 2025
A majestic stone from distant realms speaks! I’ve heard that some of you tried to find constellations but couldn’t spot a single star in the sky. Let’s give it another go—this time with an updated star map that will be your guide through the night sky. What changed: 1. The star map is now closer to reality. Compare the in-game night sky to the stars above your head. Maybe this time, you’ll catch a glimpse of your favorite constellation. 2. Observe the Northern Lights in wintertime. Those who choose to brave the cold nights will witness a wondrous display—mysterious ribbons of light dancing across the sky. 3. Fixed musical transitions for sunrise and sunset. Now, melodies seamlessly accompany the shifting light on the horizon, without pulling you away from the beauty of day and night. 4. Minor optimization work. Everything is a bit more stable, though still somewhat demanding on your har…
- Stone Simulator - Text Lines update - 7 March 2025
The mini update you’ve all been waiting for: my lines and all the texts are now readable! 😂
- The Stone Confirms: Changes Are Possible! - 7 March 2025
Ever since people began scrutinizing me, searching for every tiniest speck, I’ve heard the whispers: "Maybe it will change? Or perhaps not?" Those gazes, that genuine curiosity, always reminded me that I’m part of something greater. So today, I want to officially state: yes, I am changing over time. Of course, it won’t happen instantly. At first glance, the changes may seem minor, but believe me—within a couple of in-game days, you’ll notice something significant. My surface, my structure—everything will evolve, and this process is inevitable. Keep watching. Look closely at those smallest details that were barely visible before. Because it’s in them that you’ll soon see the transformations that confirm my words. The stone you thought stood still for centuries is beginning to write a new chapter in its history.
- Stone Simulator – Day One Update - 4 March 2025
A majestic stone from the depths of the game world speaks! I’ve been lying here for quite some time, yet even I have noticed the recent changes. Time now speeds by faster than the wind, and the weather delights us with unpredictable surprises: thunderstorms, fog, and even mesmerizing blizzards. You, brave wanderers, will find it easier and more exciting to witness all the cycles within my domain. The camera no longer slips through textures, as if tunneling beneath me, and in photo mode, the exposure behaves properly, without blinding your eyes. Music once again resonates everywhere (if you choose to bring it back), and the “Midnight Boulder” achievement—dedicated to proud boulders like me—is available again. Feel free to settle down nearby and snap a few pictures—I don’t mind! Thank you for continuing to unearth the mysteries of my world. Stay vigilant, and remember: even a stone can be…
