The sequel to the iconic Monster Train game, Monster Train 2, has finally been released on PC via Steam on May 21, 2025. Its reception has been on the positive side, with over 1000 Overwhelmingly Positive reviews on Steam. This goes to show that the title has stood up to the expectations of fans. Well, while many have been complaining about the game being a bit too difficult for a newbie, it just has a steep learning curve. Once you get good with your deck, you will be owning the enemies. Anyway, since you are reading this, you must be wondering when Monster Train 2 will be released on the GOG platform. Since this didn’t happen on day 1 of the game’s launch, we understand the curiosity. That said, here’s everything you need to know about when/if Monster Train 2 is coming to GOG.
When it comes to buying games digitally from a storefront, Steam is the undisputed champion. While there are other storefronts like Epic Games and GOG, it is Steam that has the largest library of games, from both AAA studios and indie ones. Epic Games also has its advantages, as some games are sometimes offered for free on the storefront. But, unlike these two, GOG is popular among gamers who don’t like DRM. If you buy a game on GOG, you own it fully. It is a non-DRM digital distribution platform, which is why many prefer it. But GOG doesn’t get many day 1 releases, and Monster Train 2’s availability on the platform is no exception. But is there any hope of getting the game on GOG later down the line?

Monster Train 2 GOG Release Date: When is it coming out
Unfortunately, with the information that we currently have, it seems that Monster Train 2 won’t be getting a GOG release any time soon, in fact, maybe ever. We are stating this on the basis of responses shared by the official team. On the Shiny Shoe developer Discord channel, the developers shared the following:
“nothing to announce here right now I’m afraid – only current platforms confirmed on our side are steam, playstation 5, current gen xbox, and switch”
This response is a month old, so you might be thinking maybe after the game’s release, there will be a change of plans. Well, we again have bad news. Responding to a Steam discussion post regarding the game’s availability on GOG, one of the developers stated this:
Negative. Monster Train 2 will only be releasing via Steam on PC. Since we cannot confirm GOG entitlements, any Monster Train bundle opportunities will not factor in a previous purchase on GOG.
This response was shared on May 20, 2025, which makes it pretty clear that the developers are indeed not inclined towards releasing the game on GOG, at least right now.
Will there ever be a GOG release?
Well, we can’t really say for sure. The original title, Monster Train, was indeed available on GOG and many players who already own the game on this storefront are hopeful for a GOG release of this sequel too. But since the developers haven’t really said anything other than a plain no, we can’t speculate when or if it will be released. If there is any update on this matter, we will make sure to update this article at the earliest.
