Overview

  • Starting October 10, the 1999 edition will no longer be purchasable as a standalone product on Steam, though existing owners keep re-download access.
  • Owners of System Shock 2: 25th Anniversary Remaster will receive the original 1999 version for free as part of the bundle.
  • Nightdive’s remaster, released earlier this year, earned strong reviews and sits at roughly 87% positive on Steam.
  • The change removes the cheaper option on Steam, with the remaster priced around $29.99 compared with the original’s typical $9.99.
  • The original remains on GOG for now and is listed under GOG’s Preservation Program, offering an alternative route to buy it.
