The zombie game developed and published by Tybug Studios in 2022 is closing down about three years after its PC release on Steam. This decision was officially announced through the game’s Steam page. The removal, scheduled for October 1, 2025, will affect all Steam users. However, it’s unclear whether this will directly impact users of the Steam Deck, as the game’s listing on Steam indicates “Unknown” regarding compatibility with the Steam Deck.
PEP, a free-to-play online zombie game available on Steam, supports single-player, co-op, and multiplayer modes. Unfortunately, based on user reviews, it seems that many players won’t be sad to see it go, as indicated by its “Mixed” rating and only a 69% approval rating. Despite this, the game has garnered over 100 user reviews, suggesting that PC users have given it a try.
In approximately three years, as Project PEP reaches its final stages on our platform, we’re sad to share that the project servers will be turned off on October 1st, 2025. It’s been a joyful journey developing the narrative, enriching content, and incorporating those quirky elements that truly defined PEP. We at Tybug Studios are immensely proud of what we achieved with this project and eagerly anticipate the future, whether it be in this genre or exploring new horizons.
Starting October 1st, you won’t be able to grab my favorite zombie game from Steam for a fresh download. But fear not! I can still enjoy it offline without any interruptions.
The statement also mentions that as long as Steam’s operation continues, players who currently hold a license can carry on playing without interruption. However, it should be noted that PEP will no longer be accessible for new users. A big thank you to everyone who has played, shared, and supported PEP over the years! We are eagerly looking forward to offering more enjoyable and exciting games in the future.
It’s unclear exactly why the servers are being shut down, but it’s likely due to them becoming too expensive compared to the revenue the game is generating. However, this is merely a guess since Tybug Studios has not provided any definitive reason for this action.
