We took our sweet time. What started out as a small passion project ended up becoming a 2.5 year adventure. SUPERHOT has far outgrown our wildest expectations.
It changed and evolved over time. It kept involving more and more people along the way. Tens of thousands of you believed in the project and supported us throughout the development. Millions played the prototype and prerelease versions, providing invaluable feedback.
Today, thanks to your invaluable help and support we’re announcing an end to the long wait. A beginning of a whole new chapter.
Global release of SUPERHOT for PC/Mac/Linux will take place on the 25th of February. The Xbox One version will follow shortly thereafter.
Blurring the lines between cautious strategy and unbridled mayhem, SUPERHOT is the FPS in which time moves only when you move.
No regenerating health bars. No conveniently placed ammo drops. It's just you, outnumbered and outgunned, grabbing the weapons of fallen enemies to shoot, slice, and maneuver through a hurricane of slow-motion bullets.
From its origins in the 7 Day FPS game jam, to a hugely successful Kickstarter campaign, and now an IGF and SXSW Gaming Awards finalist, we’re incredibly grateful to the supporters who have helped to make SUPERHOT a reality.
Be ready to get SUPERHOT on February 25th, because frankly, it's going to be awesome.
Below you can find an FAQ to help answer some of your reccuring questions:
Where can I buy SUPERHOT?
You will be able to buy SUPERHOT on Steam and with a tremendous number of smaller digital and physical retailers around the globe.
So you’re doing boxes too?
Yup. Our super awesome friends from IMGN.pro are coordinating manufacturing and physical distribution pretty much world-wide.
What do you mean global release?
SUPERHOT will be out on 25th of February in a whole bunch of languages. Chances are it’ll be available in your own native language and in a brick’n’mortar store near you!
What platforms are you releasing?
It will be released on PC/Mac/Linux first. SUPERHOT for Xbox One will be available a few short weeks later. But what about VR? Big plans ahead for virtual reality. We’re working on something larger than we originally thought possible. We’ll start getting talkative about it after we release the regular reality version of SUPERHOT.
What are the minimal system requirements?
Nothing too fancy.
We had SUPERHOT tested and fully playable with good framerates on:
Intel Core2Quad Q6600 2,40 GHz
4 GB RAM
GeForce GTX 650 (1024 MB)
We’re still tweaking and optimizing so stay tuned about the specifics in the following weeks.
Are you doing preorders?
Nope. We’re actually removing the currently available preorder-priced support options from our website in a few days. Buy the game, play the game. Slick and simple.
Is SUPERHOT going to be awesome?
Yes. Very much so.

Hey guys, I haven't got my key either :(
Steve Baines on February 25
For people missing Steam keys, FWIW mine arrived 31st July 2015 in an email titled "SUPERHOT Beta Release!".
Bryan Bortz on February 24
Please don't make a new Kickstarter for the VR version.
Francesco Fiesoli on February 24
Got my key 1 hour ago!
(If you have a gmail account, check into the "promotion tab" in inbox folder!)
Darryl Walker on February 24
I can't delete my comment, so I'm posting again:
You guys came through at the 11th hour, but a little communication about timelines would have been nice. Please consider this if you run future projects.
To anybody that hasn't received their key yet: check your emails and your junk folder.

So when will the backer keys be distributed, especially the ones who pledged a year or more ago?
Francesco Fiesoli on February 24
ONE DAY!!!!!!!
I'm excited like a kid in front of his first gameboy!
Mark de Jong on February 24
Doing the same thing, this is getting silly.
Darryl Walker on February 24
One day to go, and no sign of a backer key?
Okay guys, here's the deal:
1) You need to send the backer keys out ASAP, because it's unacceptable that there's a chance people who /didn't/ support the campaign will get the game before us by buying it at retail, or alternatively:
2) The lowest tier pledge for the game better be significantly cheaper than the retail price.
If not, I'll be asking for a refund from you for my pledge. Simple as that.

Bahaha. Tommorow.
Kristian on February 23
ps4 key?
Mark de Jong on February 21, 2016
When will the backer keys be distributed ?
Cerne on February 10, 2016
Can I change my PC key to an xbox one one please?
Mikołaj Torz on February 10, 2016
Dałoby się przełożyć datę premiery tak aby wyszło po maturze?
Mark on February 4, 2016
Any word on Steam keys being available?
John Prather on February 3, 2016
Fantastic! Thanks so much for all your hard work guys!
Nate Nolting on February 3, 2016
Didn't know you guys were putting this on XB1. Like a few people have asked I'd like to get a key for the XB1 rather than Steam.
Thomas Hempel on February 3, 2016
Nice. As some other already asked, is there a possibility to get a key for the Xbox One instead of Steam?
Mark de Jong on February 2, 2016
But *when* will the backer keys be distributed ? :)
Vaughan Martin on February 2, 2016
SUPER excited, can't wait to play it.
lizard81288 on February 1, 2016
Cool! I assume, this is when we will get ours keys and (digital) rewards, correct?
Christian Karleby on February 1, 2016
I would also like a Xbox One key - And congratz on finally releasing :) Looks sooo great! :)
Tyler Barna on February 1, 2016
Will I be able to get a copy of the Xbox one version at my backer tier instead of the pc version? My pc is absolutely dreadful.
David Ross Watson on February 1, 2016
Damn, that's an awesome trailer! SH would be mind blowing on the Rift with Touch support! Equally as amazing on the Vive. I really hope such a VR version is in the works. Looking forward to hearing more. :)
Radon on February 1, 2016
That day will be a happy day...
Anyways, I dislike that this FAQ-entry still hasn´t got an update:
Will the game be released on other storefronts? (Humble Store, GOG, etc.)
Most certainly :)
garkham on February 1, 2016
Yup. Is 'the date' only for steam or also DRM-free. I think I've seen a GOG release on their calendar : is it possible to ask for a GOG Key instead of the Steam one?
Then, I'll buy the retail version for sure. This version will only content a steam key or also the DRM-free version and the soundtrack?
Thanks in advance for your answers.
Marek Tvrdý on February 1, 2016
Boxed edition? Post list of EU seller with a international shipping, please.
Francesco Fiesoli on February 1, 2016

Christoph Zürcher on February 1, 2016
Congratulations to the team. I can't wait to play the final release and hope it will sell well.
Ryan Eddleman on February 1, 2016
Will we be able to only get an Xbox one or pc copy? Cause I would prefer an Xbox one copy if I can only have one.
Adam Cooperman on February 1, 2016
500GB eh? :P I'm sure that's just the computer you tested on and all but surely you could give us the actual disk space requirements :). Very excited!
Jerome Lebrun on February 1, 2016
Congrats guys !! can't wait !
Hope VR support will come soon !
Darryl Walker on February 1, 2016
Congratulations. Forgive me if I've missed this in one of the updates, but can you confirm when you'll be distributing keys to the backers?
David Wilkins on February 1, 2016
