Ryder has launched!

It’s finally here! After three years of building, designing, and dreaming, Ryder is out in the world.

This is a peaceful, creature-filled adventure where you’ll:

• Solve nearly 100 unique puzzles

• Explore 4 colorful regions, from autumn forests to frozen peaks

• Bond with over 60 creatures and become them

• Unlock unique abilities like wind jumping, ice bridges, and more

• Watch the world fill with sound and life as you restore it

Whether you’re here for the cozy vibes, the curious creatures, or just something a little different, we hope Ryder gives you a quiet place to explore and reflect.

We’re a team of two, and Ryder has been our dream for a long time. If you decide to take this journey, we hope it feels special to you as well.

Thank you for playing. Elle & Arlin

Please note

Ryder is fully functional on the Steamdeck but it needs to be launched with DirectX 11. This may be helpful if you are on a lower-spec configuration as well.

Here's how to do that

1) Click the gear icon from Ryder's library page

1. Click to "Properties"

2. Add -dx11 to the launch options field

1. It should now launch no problem :)
