Evaluation

Bugsnax launched on Steam on April 28, 2022, bundled with the free Isle of BIGsnax expansion that had been announced in October 2021. That expansion added a new biome, new Bugsnax species, over 100 challenges, housing customization, and additional story content — a substantial chunk of post-launch content delivered at launch for Steam players. Since then, Young Horses has continued to actively support the game. In October 2024 they opened a public VR beta, and on November 11, 2024 — timed to the game's 4th anniversary — they officially released a full SteamVR update as a free addition for all owners. This is a meaningful new way to experience the entire game in virtual reality, developed as a side project that evolved into a polished release. Most recently, on June 9, 2026, the studio pushed Update 2.070602 adding preliminary VR support for Steam Frame and Steam Frame standalone — showing the team is still actively extending VR compatibility. Throughout 2024 and into 2026, the developer has maintained a steady stream of feature patches and bug fixes refining the VR experience. The studio has not announced any upcoming paid DLC or named future content beyond ongoing VR improvements. However, given that the most recent update shipped on June 9, 2026 — just 15 days before today — and the developer has shown a pattern of continued investment in the game, it is too early to consider development complete.

About this game

Bugsnax takes you on a journey to Snaktooth Island, home of the legendary half-bug half-snack creatures, Bugsnax. Invited by intrepid explorer Elizabert Megafig, you arrive to discover your host nowhere to be found, her camp in shambles, and her followers scattered across the island alone... and hungry!

It's up to you to solve the mysteries of Snaktooth Island: What happened to Lizbert? What are Bugsnax and where do they come from? But most of all, why do they taste SO GOOD?

Features:

  • Fill Your Pack With Snax! Discover, hunt, and capture all 100 different species of Bugsnax using a variety of contraptions and bait.
  • Embark on a Tasty Quest! Explore the diverse biomes of Snaktooth Island to track down and reunite the inhabitants of Snaxburg.
  • Feed Somebody and You'll See, We Are Whatever We Eat! Stuff your new friends with Bugsnax to customize them with countless new looks.
  • Venture Deep to Seek the Truth! Follow every lead to learn more about Lizbert's band of misfits and the mysteries of Snaktooth Island.
  • Come Back For Seconds! Seek out side quests and travel off the beaten path to test your skills against fearsome supersized Bugsnax!
  • Make Yourself At Home! Complete challenges from your mailbox, collect decorations to personalize your hut, and most important of all: put hats on your favorite Snax!
