The horror game Sons of the Forest is available on Steam since Thursday and has caused a real surge.
Many users report that Steam has completely collapsed due to the high demand. Many players were confronted with error codes that prevented access to any part of the Steam store.
Originally, the release was planned for Thursday noon, but the game was not yet available for download at that time. The strong demand of the players who wanted to buy the game immediately eventually caused Steam's servers to go down. The error code "E502 L3", which often occurs during large sales on Steam, was seen by many users.
Sons of the Forest is currently only available in Early Access and will be released in full at a later date. Despite the bumpy start of the game on Steam, horror fans can look forward to the long-awaited sequel to the popular title The Forest.
