- Developer update #10 - 28 August 2026
Hey everyone, It's been a little longer between updates this time, thanks to summer holidays here in Sweden... let's just say we're famous for taking our summer breaks seriously! We've been busy continuing down the path of refactoring the foundation to bring a more complete GeoGuessr experience to Steam. Part of "closing the gap" to the full experience the game offers on Web also means figuring out how we enable cross-platform play. This has us taking a closer look at how our current yearly Steam Pass is performing, and whether it's time to consider a monthly option too. More updates on this to come! Meanwhile, we’ve shipped a few fixes and have a few updates to share:Achievements issueWe believe we've solved a bug that was preventing players from claiming achievements. This one literally had us pulling our hair out trying to track it down. Single Player Mode – WorldWorld is our single-…
- Developer Update #9 - 12 June 2026
Hey Everyone,Since our last update, we've been heads-down on the work that underpins everything: refactoring the foundation so that bringing the full GeoGuessr web experience to Steam is actually possible. A big part of this is closing the gap faster, we regularly get questions about features available on web, both existing ones and newly announced ones like analytics, that haven't landed on Steam yet. You don't need to flag them, we know they're missing and they're on the roadmap. This work isn't always visible, but it's what makes delivering all of it feasible.What we have shipped Account ManagementWe've updated the account management UI, and players can now manage their GeoGuessr account and overview of Steam connection directly from Steam, whether that's linking for the first time or managing an existing connection. Easier for new links, and full control for those who are already li…
- Developer Update #8 - 4 May 2026
Hey everyone, Last time we wrote, we mentioned we were taking a step back to rethink where the Steam Edition was heading. Today we want to follow up on that and share what's been in the works. Bridging the Gap Something we've heard clearly from you is that the Steam Edition has felt disconnected from GeoGuessr on other platforms. We agree, and fixing that is now our main focus. The goal is straightforward: Steam, Web, and iOS/Android should offer the same experience under one account, with the same modes and games across the board. We're actively working toward that. What we've shippedAs part of this, we're introducing a few things to the Steam Edition: Daily Challenge - The shared daily experience that's a staple on other platformsTo support cross-platform play, new players will now need to sign up with a GeoGuessr accountFor our early Steam Pass holders — there's a small thank you gif…
- Developer Update #7 - 31 March 2026
Hey everyone, We have a an important update for you today. Recently, we've taken a step back to really look at where the GeoGuessr Steam Edition is today.Based on our own discussions and reading your feedback we’ve decided to focus on a number of changes aimed at improving the Steam Edition experience, and bringing it more in line with what players expect from a GeoGuessr game. We’re not quite ready to share any details but we're confident about the path forward, and we think these changes will be a positive experience for all types of GeoGuessr players. As a result, we may be a bit quieter while we’re fully focused on building and refining what’s coming next, but you might see some new things slowly being integrated into the game. In the meantime, we’ve also shipped a few fixes and updates: -Fixed an issue with Achievements not working correctly (fingers crossed) -Re-enabled chat in Qu…
- Developer Update #6 - 27 February 2026
Hey gamers, We’ve got a few updates to share from the team: Update on Team DuelsWe’re in the final phase of implementing Competitive Team Duels. Right now, we’re running some testing to make sure everything is stable and running smoothly before launch. Bad Word Filter in Chat We’ve received an increased number of reports about inappropriate behavior in chat. To help keep the experience fun and welcoming for everyone, we’ve introduced a bad word filter. We’ll continue monitoring and improving it over time. Mac Support Removed Mac was never an officially supported platform, but it has been accessible through Steam. Due to unresolved issues that significantly impact the experience, we've made the decision to remove Mac access rather than continue offering a broken version. Seasons Coming to Duels – March 1stThis adds a new competitive layer with clear progression and goals to strive for. W…

- Developer Update #2 - 19 December 2025
We’ve been reading your feedback. We've been reading your responses to our previous update and are continually monitoring the feedback we receive regarding the Steam Edition. We see and understand the current frustrations players have and we will be working on improving communication to players through posts like this. We also want to be transparent and clear on our current goals so players know what to expect. Right now we are focused on building the best possible multiplayer experience on Steam, as it unlocks capabilities we don’t have on the web. The browser version will continue to support single player experiences, while we work on making multiplayer on Steam as solid and enjoyable as possible.Fixes & ImprovementsAdded a Refresh Game button to recover from the black screen issue without restarting the whole gameFirst time players get a questionnaire after their first victory for us…

- Game updates regarding free-to-play - 3 June 2025
Amateur Division Up until now, unlimited Amateur Division has only been available to Steam created accounts. We're now shipping an update so that all users, including linked accounts, can replay Amateur Divison as many times as they like! Note: for paying users (Steam Pass or web Yearly Unlimited/Elite/"Old Pro" subscribers), the Amateur Division is only accessible if you haven't already entered the main competition (which replaces the need for Free Amateur Division) We've fixed a bug that caused legacy "Old Pro" Yearly subscribers to not have full access to the game All users can now play Solo, and unranked Team Duels, in an unlimited fashion!
- Unlimited Yearly gets full access! - 8 May 2025
All users with an Unlimited Yearly subscription from the web version are now granted access to GeoGuessr Steam Edition! This includes all current as well as all future such subscribers. GeoGuessr Steam Edition is in Early Access. That is, we're still developing and learning as we go. The original intent of this edition was to reach a new audience, who may or may not have heard of GeoGuessr before but primarily has Steam as their platform of choice for gaming. As such, we didn't think too much about adapting this edition to the existing user base on browser version, but wanted to give a lower priced, condensed version of our most popular game mode Duels to all the potential new GeoGuessr pros out there. Hence, we're humbly overwhelmed to see the huge interest and engagement from the existing user base to also be able to play on Steam! To accommodate, we've therefore decided to not limit…
- GeoGuessr Steam Edition is now LAUNCHED! - 8 May 2025
Start your GeoGuessr Steam Edition (Early Access) journey by either creating a new account, or if you already have a GeoGuessr browser account, link it to sync your account and progress! The free offering includes: Unlimited access to Amateur Division Unlimited access to unranked Team Duels To unlock the full Solo Duels experience, you’ll need to purchase a GeoGuessr Steam Pass inside the game, or be on an Elite Yearly subscription. General notes: Having a GeoGuessr browser subscription does not grant you full access to the GeoGuessr Steam Edition, unless you have an Elite Yearly subscription. Nor does a GeoGuessr Steam Pass grant you access to the GeoGuessr browser version. GeoGuessr Steam Pass holders will be able to cross-play against GeoGuessr browser subscribers and vice versa. The game is released as Early Access, meaning we're continuously developing it and addressing whatever is…

We're more than excited to be able to (finally!) announce an exact release date! GeoGuessr Steam Edition will be available in store May 8! Let's go!!
- Update: Release coming in May! - 29 April 2025
Roughly a month ago, we announced the news that GeoGuessr: Steam Edition was coming to, well, Steam! Along with the annoucement, we shared a bit of information as to what the edition was to include. Based on your feedback, we realized that we needed to ensure a convenient way to link existing GeoGuessr browser accounts to Steam. To accommodate, the release date had to be pushed slightly, which is why we're writing this to let you know that instead of April, the game will be released in May. We'll keep you posted as soon as we have set a specific release date, stay tuned! Recap: This edition focuses on Competitive Solo Duels as its main game mode The game comes with a Steam exlusive, free-to-play Amateur Division Unlimited Unranked Team Duels with Steam friends Subscribers on an Elite Yearly (browser) subscription will get full access
