To download the game on Steam and start diving into the Clockworks of Cradle today on PC and Mac, visit the Steam store.
“Joining the prestigious library of games on Steam doesn’t just mean that Spiral Knights is now available to a wider audience, but also that players now have the added support of a fantastic, deeply-established gaming community,” said Haruki Satomi, Vice President of Digital Business at SEGA of America. “We know the millions of new adventurers who can now easily access the game through Steam will enjoy it every bit as much as our existing players do.”
“A game with strong co-operative and social elements like Spiral Knights is, put simply, a great fit for Steam,” said Daniel James, CEO of Three Rings. “Beyond the convenience of automatic game updates and easy Energy purchases through Steam, our players will be able to enjoy their time in the Clockworks with their existing Friends List members, aided by built-in voice chat and instant messaging.”
