PixARK: Terracrypt arrives now with a free weekend on Steam

PixARK: Terracrypt is now live on Steam, and the PixARK Free Weekend is underway. New players can download and explore the base game for free through August 31, while launch discounts run through September 7.

For the first time in PixARK, Terracrypt introduces a complete main storyline that guides explorers through the underground world. The expansion adds:

• 13 underground biomes
• 65 underground-exclusive creatures
• 11 bosses
• A new steam-and-gas technology tier for construction and combat

The release also includes a side-wall construction mode, improved lighting mechanics for crop cultivation, creature tracking through the creature-management interface, improvements to the imprinting interface, and extra character info beside health bars. Earlier announced features are in too: save-system updates, quick switching between frequently used mounts, and Revival Dolls and storage-container access.

The base game is 75% off at $4.99 (regularly $19.99) — the largest discount in PixARK history, beating the previous low of 57% off. Terracrypt is available for $8.99 at launch (10% off, regularly $9.99), and the PixARK + Terracrypt Bundle adds another 10% on top, bringing the combined price to about $12.58.

The PixARK × ARK: Survival Ascended bundle runs August 26–September 7, with both games 75% off and an extra 10% when bought together. An ongoing PixARK × Necesse bundle also offers 10% off the pair.

A new event challenge is on the way, with gaming gear, gift cards, and official merchandise as prizes. The full event announcement arrives tomorrow.
