Sok it while it’s hot

Two years and 50 games later, the self-professed “videogame boyband” are celebrating their second anniversary with a mic-drop, bringing their entire collection of former Itch-exclusive games to Steam.

We’ve covered some of Sokpop’s Patreon games on the site before - wagging our tails inPupper Park, helping out withOllie And Bollie’s Outdoor Estate, and making cute n' cheerful games withSok-Stories. They’re impossible to avoid, with a cursory scroll through Itch bound to surface a wobbly new curiosity.

Their games are sort of a statement for the strength of Itch - striking little tasters to try out every other week for less cash than a Tesco meal deal. That’s also why I’ve always felt Steam would be a weird fit for the collective, the sheer noise drowning out quaint little experiences likeFrog Struggles.

But the new platform comes with some unexpected benefits. I couldn’t care less about giving ‘em all Steam Achievements, butSteam Remote Play Together? That’s one hell of a boon for some of the incredible local multiplayer gems in the bunch, securingKart Kids’ place as the best racing game on PC.

It’s not quite their entire catalogue, mind. The Steam collection appears to lag behind its Itch counterpart, missing Sokpop’s three most recent games - pirate RTSUniseas, spelunking cup-finderGoblet Caveand not-Blade RunnerBlue Drifter.

But Sokpop claim they’ll be up soon. While every game they release going forward will launch on both Itch and Steam,they reckonthere’ll occasionally be delays in getting Steam versions up. Existing patrons will get Steam keys for every game they already own.

Each game is currently 10% off at £2.69 onSteam. They’ve been divided into"Seasons"at 25% off, with the whole lot has been gathered in aSokpop Super Bundlefor £95.22/$96.43.
