Reanimal Faces Steam Backlash Over Missing Co-op Friend Pass at Launch

Reanimal, the highly anticipated co-op game, launched on February 13. However, it is facing significant backlash from players on Steam. The game’s reviews currently reflect a ‘Mostly Negative’ rating. Many players express frustration over the absence of a promised Friend Pass.

Missing Friend Pass Causes Upset

The Friend Pass feature was meant to allow players to enjoy co-op gameplay with friends at no extra cost. This oversight has left many disappointed, particularly since the game emphasizes cooperative play. A review from a pre-order customer exemplifies this sentiment, expressing deep disappointment in the developers for not addressing the issue.

Developers Respond

In a Steam post, the Reanimal development team stated they could not guarantee the availability of the Friend Pass on launch day. They acknowledged the expectations but assured players that efforts were underway to introduce the feature soon.

They mentioned, “While we cannot guarantee that it will be available on day 1, we are working hard to offer you a Friend Pass as soon as possible.” This statement has done little to quell the disappointment among players.

Console Players Enjoy Access

Adding to the frustration, console players have access to the Friend Pass without paying for an additional copy. Users on Xbox can currently acquire the Friend Pass for free, further amplifying discontent among PC players.
