SAND: Raiders of Sophie

As of June 2026 the Steam store lists SAND as 'Coming soon' and an Early Access title, so there isn't a general public release on its Steam page yet. The gameplay and preview clips circulating come from playtests/closed sessions. No firm release date is posted on the Steam page — check the Steam page or sand-game.com for the latest.

Steam hasn't published a price yet: the store page shows no price, and the listing is not marked free-to-play — which points to a paid game, but the final price isn't confirmed. Check the Steam page at launch for the actual number.

The Steam listing shows Windows (PC) only. No console versions or cross-play are listed in the store data, and none are confirmed there. If consoles are added later they would appear on the official channels.

Steam's own description says 'Squad up or go solo,' and the listed modes are Multi-player, PvP and Online PvP — so solo play is possible, but it's an online PvPvE game built around other players sharing the world.

Per the developer's Steam description: build and pilot a highly customizable walking mech (a 'Trampler'), scavenge a procedurally generated desert for loot, weapons and artifacts, survive, and extract — clashing with other players along the way. In short: a PvPvE extraction game with mech base-building, set in an alternate 1910.

In the preview videos players most often compare it to extraction shooters like Escape from Tarkov and survival/PvP games like Rust, plus crewed-vehicle games like Last Oasis, World's Adrift and Sea of Thieves (for the squad-runs-a-moving-base feel). Those are community comparisons, not official — SAND's own hook is the customizable walking mech and the alternate-1910 desert setting.
