Goat Simulator Heading to Steam

Goat Simulator, which became a YouTube sensation last week thanks to 2-plus million views of the game's alpha footage, is coming to Steam soon.

Developer Coffee Stain Studios is having fun with the game's sudden rise to fame, saying in a press release that "for some reason, the incredibly stupid YouTube video of Goat Simulator alpha footage became a viral hit last week." The game creators were inspired by old-school skating games with Goat Simulator, but instead of performing tricks, the goal is to wreck stuff to rack up points. The new trailer shows the goat flying off a trampoline at ridiculous heights and utilizing an axe with its tongue.

"We hired a full team of free-to-play/mobile experts and psychologists" said Anton Westbergh, CEO of Coffee Stain Studios. "They all agreed this idea was stupid, so we decided to ship it!”

Known for making Sanctum 2, Coffee Stain Studios also promises Steam Leaderboards and possibly Steam Workshop support for Goat Simulator. Pre-orders for beta access cost $9.99 USD at the game's official website.
