Game of Thrones: Kingsroad Hits Steam Early Access

- Game of Thrones: Kingsroad enters early access soon - Currently exclusive to Steam platform - Marks first opportunity for players to experience the game firsthand

Few fantasy worlds have defined their genre like Game of Thrones has established dark medieval fantasy for modern audiences. Since HBO's series concluded, Westeros has seen limited activity beyond the House of the Dragon spinoff - until now.

A Return to Westeros

Netmarble's highly anticipated Game of Thrones: Kingsroad launches into early access on March 26th with a Steam-exclusive release. While mobile players must wait, this provides the first hands-on experience with the game.

This strategy represents an interesting pivot for Netmarble, traditionally known for mobile development. The Game of Thrones franchise's mass appeal makes it a strong candidate for Steam testing, with hopes for rapid mobile adaptation following early access.

The PC-first approach raises questions about shifting industry strategies. Similar patterns emerged with Once Human and Delta Force releases, suggesting a potential trend among traditionally mobile-focused developers.

While PC players may provide rigorous feedback during testing, this leaves mobile enthusiasts anticipating their turn. The decision invites speculation about whether we're witnessing a broader shift toward PC prioritization from mobile developers.
