Active Matter Details Steam Transfer, 1 Nexus Heavy-Vehicle Update and Faster Progression

Q: With the Steam launch imminent this August, will the limited-time transfer window leave loyal early adopters stranded?

Probably not, but the risk is real unless the studio clearly explains the deadline and claim process well before launch. What the developers have promised is fairly generous on paper: Gaijin Store buyers will be able to claim an equivalent Steam edition, and “Elite Squad” owners will be upgraded to Steam’s “Premium” edition with the same bonuses, minus extra keys. The team has also clarified that friends who already redeemed those bonus keys should receive the Standard Steam edition. That suggests early adopters are not being asked to buy the game again. The concern is the limited-time window. Right now, the studio has not published the exact dates or mechanics for claiming the Steam version, only saying full details will come with the late-August release announcement. That creates uncertainty for loyal players who may miss a short redemption period, especially if they are inactive when the announcement drops. Whether anyone is “stranded” will depend less on the transfer itself than on execution. If the window is long enough, clearly communicated through launcher notices, email, store pages, and social channels, most owners should be covered. If it is short or poorly advertised, some early supporters could lose access to the Steam upgrade despite backing the game early. So far, the evidence points to a planned migration, not abandonment. But until the studio reveals the dates and safeguards, the limited-time clause remains the main unresolved issue for early adopters.
