We’ve shared a lot of information the last couple months, so we’d like to recap everything you should know for the Early Access release of shapez 2 tomorrow.
Launch time
What to expect
Last week, Tobias talked you through some of the history of how shapez 2 came to be and what you should expect from Early Access tomorrow and the first few months. It’s a fun read so check it out here:

If you haven’t seen it yet, be sure to check out the Gameplay Trailer! It gives you a good impression of what shapez 2 is and what content will be in the game tomorrow:
Steam Deck Support
Steam Deck won't be officially supported for the Early Access release. The current state is 'okayish' as Steam identifies it as 'Playable'. Keep in mind that the game is not optimized for the Steam Deck and you could run into issues.
We do plan to improve Steam Deck compatibility in the future, we'll keep you posted!
Getting the game
Shapez 2 will be available for $24.99 / €23.99 / ₤19.99 and can be found here:

If you really want to show your support, you can pick up the Supporter Edition! You can either pick it up alongside the base game for $34.99 / €33.49 / ₤27.99. Want to give shapez 2 a go first? You can always upgrade later.

The Supporter Edition’s purpose is to give you a way to support us further if you’d like. We didn’t want to let you go empty handed though, so you’ll get something in return. Included are a Rail Loop & Rail Twister for your trains, 40 minutes of extra in-game music and the full soundtrack will be available for download. You can find the full soundtrack below:

Changes to regional pricing
The astute among you may notice that some of these prices are different from what we previously communicated. After the initial announcement, we got a lot of feedback from you with concerns about the price of the game in certain currencies. We made several adjustments based on these conversations, taking account average monthly income and purchasing power (more information here).
You can find the up-to-date list of regional pricing here.
