Popular Co-Op Shooter Mycopunk Leaves Early Access, Celebrates Version 1.0 With 50% Discount

 

Mycopunk is available at a 75% discount for the first time to celebrate its 1.0 release. The offer runs until November 3.

The cel-shaded fungal shooter has officially launched its full version, and you can grab it for its lowest price ever.

If you've been holding off on jumping into the chaotic, fungus-filled world of Mycopunk, now might be the perfect time. The popular co-op shooter has officially graduated from Early Access and launched its Version 1.0 update on October 20, 2026. To celebrate the milestone, the game is currently available at a whopping 50% discount on Steam.

For those unfamiliar, Mycopunk tasks players with suiting up as a team of discarded robots—the "New Atlas Hazardous Waste Disposal Unit"—recruited by the Saxton Corporation for one last shot at glory. Your mission? Investigate a mysterious fungal outbreak that is infecting machines and turning the planet's technology against you. Up to four players can team up to tear through hordes of enemies, blending the frantic co-op action of Helldivers with the loot-driven progression of Borderlands, all wrapped in a stylish cel-shaded art style.

Mycopunk's cel-shaded visuals are strongly reminiscent of Borderlands.

Deep Customization and Frantic Gameplay

One of the standout features that has kept players hooked is the game's intricate upgrade system. Rather than a simple skill tree, Mycopunk utilizes a grid-based module system. Weapons and abilities can be customized using differently shaped modules placed on a grid, allowing for highly flexible and often chaotic builds. Whether you want to be a dedicated support medic, slap a deflector shield on a chainsaw, or simply turn yourself into a walking bomb, the game encourages you to experiment.

This creativity extends to combat, where players must strategically dismantle enemies piece by piece. If you blow off an enemy's arm, another foe might just pick it up and use it against you. To help navigate this mayhem, the game features a fast-paced movement system complete with jumps, dashes, and other mobility abilities.

The grid-based upgrade system is one of the game's core mechanics and allows for particularly flexible builds.

Mycopunk features several playable characters.

A Successful Launch and a Steep Discount

The core concept has resonated well with the community. With roughly 4,800 Steam reviews at the time of writing, the game boasts an 88% positive rating. While some players have criticized elements like excessive grinding and limited enemy variety, the Version 1.0 update aims to address these concerns by adding a new playable character, an additional region, new weapons, and new missions. The update also includes balance adjustments, bug fixes, and performance improvements.

If you're looking to join the fight, the deal is hard to ignore. The game typically retails for $15, but you can currently pick it up for just **$7.50** on Steam. According to SteamDB, this is the lowest price the game has ever been offered, as it was never discounted by more than 35% during its Early Access phase. It's worth noting that the game is not playable on the Steam Deck, so you'll need a PC to dive in.

You can check out the launch trailer and grab the game directly via its Steam store page. The promotion is set to end on November 3, so don't wait too long to grab this deal.
