PixARK: Terracrypt descends August 26 with its biggest sale yet

PixARK: Terracrypt, the largest content expansion ever released for PixARK, arrives on Steam on August 26 at 6:00 p.m. PDT / 9:00 p.m. EDT (August 27 at 1:00 a.m. UTC / 9:00 a.m. Beijing Time). The DLC is normally $9.99, and a 10% launch discount drops it to $8.99. You'll need the base game to play, but no prior experience is required.

The base game is 75% off, falling from $19.99 to about $4.99 — the largest discount in PixARK's history, surpassing the previous record of 57%. Bundling PixARK with Terracrypt adds another 10% off, bringing the combined launch price to roughly $12.58. If you don't own it, the base game is free to play from August 26 through August 31.

Terracrypt is PixARK's biggest expansion yet, with:

• Three underground layers
• 13 subterranean biomes
• 65 underground-exclusive creatures
• 11 bosses
• A complete guided main storyline — a first for PixARK
• New underground survival technologies

Based on internal testing, a solo run through the full storyline and survival progression is estimated to take more than 200 hours. The update also improves mounts, revival dolls, chest detection, and other features, making exploration, progression, and inventory management smoother.

Minimum specs are Windows 7/8.1/10 64-bit, Intel Core i5-2400 or AMD FX-8320, 4 GB RAM, NVIDIA GTX 660 2 GB or AMD Radeon HD 7870 2 GB, and DirectX 10. Keep at least 30 GB of free storage for the update. Once installed, choose the Terracrypt DLC map from the map-selection screen to start.

Terracrypt supports single-player and multiplayer using the same systems as PixARK. Official PvP servers won't be available during the initial launch period while the team focuses on server stability, anti-cheat, and balancing. Cross-server transfers are also temporarily unavailable, so existing characters, creatures, and resources can't be moved into Terracrypt yet; a separate announcement will cover when transfers reopen. More updates are planned after launch.
