Psychonauts 2 has been out for a while now and we've placed it on sale plenty of times. But maybe you haven't ever bought it because in your heart of hearts you thought "I should wait until it is on mega sale!" That day is today. Those fancy folks at Valve reached out to us and asked if we wanted to be part of a pretty bonkers-huge sale and we said sure. The result is that you can grab Psychonauts 2 on Steam right now for 90% off! That's... basically free? Kinda? The timing was good because we're also making another addition to the game as it exists on that platform. Some folks really love to have all kinda of collectible stuff in one place, keeping games side by side with soundtracks and other special features. So we've added Double Fine PsychOdyssey as a kind of "DLC" for download. PsychOdyssey is such a massively in-depth look at the development of P2 and we've tried to host it in a variety of places. It's a YouTube series, you can download the biggest and rawest versions on the Internet Archive. But if you're someone who wants everything nestled together in one place, this is for you. It's all there right next to your game on Steam. Pretty nifty right? In many ways this marks the real conclusion to our journey with Psychonauts 2. It was a huge development process (made possible by our amazing backers and fans) that's really changed our studio in many ways. Mostly good! You learn a lot from a project like that. So! If you haven't played, this is your chance to get the game for a killer discount and if you've not watched the documentary, that's right there for ya as well. We hope you enjoy!

When our awesome fans backed Psychonauts 2, they also helped support the creation of the video series. And now were pleased to announce the release of Double Fine PsychOdyssey, a twisting trip into the minds that made Psychonauts 2 and the highs (and lows!) that come from an extended game development process. From the initial Fig pitch through a large acquisition by Microsoft and through a global pandemic, Double Fine PsychOdyssey traces our development process in intimate detail. This was a huge project that took over five thousand hours of footage filmed over six years including interviews, meetings both in-person and online, and playtests. Then they weaved it into a bizarre basket of thirty-two episodes (22 hours!) for your viewing pleasure. Now you can check out the longest and most in-depth look at game development ever made! You can find it on DFTV, YouTube, or even downloads if you need to have your own personal copy.
