🎉 Online Multiplayer Launch Discount
To celebrate the launch of Online Multiplayer (and to make it easier for you to get your friends to join you), GeneRally 2 is 35% off for one week.
We will not be running an equivalent discount again during the Early Access period, though the game may now start to appear in regular Steam sales, with a smaller discount percentage. All this to say, if you've been waiting for a discount on GeneRally 2, now's the time to act 😊
