changedYou wouldn’t stop asking, so we stopped dodging Molotovs and wrote it all down. POSTAL 2 Redux is real, a love letter to the original, upgraded with all the power of today’s tech and yes—your unhinged demands absolutely helped make this mess happen. Below is the full FAQ: what Redux actually is, why we’re doing it this way, how VR fits, exactly when you’ll be “ hosing down ” Paradise in higher fidelity, and what fresh hell unlocks when our pre‑launch follower numbers spike.

addedBefore you scroll: hit “ Notify me ” on the Kickstarter , wishlist on Steam , and pile into Discord . Every new warm body pushes us closer to stretch goals that should probably be illegal.

changedHow are VR and Redux Different?To clarify, this Kickstarter funds a single product: POSTAL 2 Redux. However, both Redux and the VR version will share a common core, meaning improvements will benefit both flat-screen and VR simultaneously. If you're only interested in the VR version, note that any stretch goals achieved through this campaign will also apply to it. That said, unlike POSTAL 2 Redux, the release of POSTAL 2 VR is not contingent on the success of this Kickstarter.

changedHow are VR and Redux Different?Building them in tandem leads to smarter development: shared gameplay improvements, more efficient and wider testing, and better polish across the board. We're also looking into the most cost-effective way for backers to own both, if they choose to. We’ll share more information as we get closer to launch.

added"Our goal is simple, make POSTAL 2 Redux the best damn game it deserves to be." POSTAL 2 is coming back for modern hardware in both VR and non-VR platforms .The Kickstarter Pre-launch is now live. Give it a follow in order to unlock new rewards. We are closing in to our first goal, giving Mike J some new moves and an updated look, but we'll need your support to get Steamworks Support and a super-fun pigeon mission into the game.

Mike J's New Moves / Hair and Beard:

It's said there are two certainties in life. One is taxes and the other is that Mike J will bust a move when you piss on him. No Redux of POSTAL 2 would be complete without teaching him some new moves. And what better way to show them off but with hair and a beard the latest graphical technology 2025 has to offer. Get it all wet!

POSTAL 4 Outfit:

2003 Trenchcoat-chique is always in fashion. But sometimes the dude wants to kick back in his favourite dressing gown. Unlockable POSTAL 4 outfit is yours for the mere price of following the campaign.

Steamworks Support:

We often hear "you suck, I could do better". After we've given Mom her sleeping pills we have to admit she had a point. Hitting this goal adds Steamworks support into Redux. Dream my beautiful modders!

Super-Fun Pigeon Hunter Mission:

The Pigeons Will Pay. You asked. You begged. Many a shrine made of bird bones was pissed on. Now we're finally bringing the Super-Fun Pigeon Hunter Mission to life for real this time. Vince screamed at the accountants, so we got new accountants. Deaf accountants. Nothing can stop this happening other than not hitting this follower goal.
