'GTFO' Available On Steam Early Access

GTFO is a 4-player co-op action/horror FPS game, made for hardcore gamers looking for a true challenge.

Players get to play as a team of scavengers, forced to explore and extract valuable artefacts from a vast underground complex that has been overrun by horrifying monsters. Gather weapons, tools and resources to help you survive - and work to unearth the answers about your past and how to escape.

In GTFO, you and your friends will explore hostile and terrifying environments where, in an instant, you are thrown from edge-of-your-seat suspense to frantic action. It’s a large-scale experience, testing players in their ability to gear up and adapt to an endless string of unknown and ever-changing challenges.

10 Chambers Collective consists in part of founding members of Overkill Software and the game designer behind the PAYDAY franchise. With GTFO, they aim to explore and develop the 4-player co-op formula even further.

GTFO is a game with a thick atmosphere intercut by intense action - and the experienced development team shows its strengths in all aspects of the presentation.

This is an Early Access version so there a game features that won’t be in Early Access but will be in the final version at launch.

“GTFO is a very ambitious Early Access release. We’ve been developing the game for almost four years now - we finally want to put it in our community’s hands and let them join us in the journey to version 1.0. The Early Access phase will test the Rundown concept; different types of expeditions and challenges, how long should they last, how often we’re going to put out new ones, and so on. It will be a very exciting time for hardcore gamers that will have the chance to experience content that may never exist again”, said Ulf Andersson, founder of 10 Chambers Collective and the game designer behind the PAYDAY franchise.

“When you start GTFO you are presented with the Rundown, this is the work orders you’ve been given by The Warden. Each work order represents an expedition down to the Complex, which will vary in type of environment, the population of monsters, what kind of objective you have and other variables. What is always constant in GTFO, is that survival hinges on the cooperation between the members of the team. Work together or die together,” said Simon Viklund, member of 10 Chambers Collective.

Even though GTFO is released in Early Access today, the game already has a vibrant and growing community. During the alpha and beta tests, 10 Chambers has managed to build an active Discord server with about 80,000 members - growing every day. Here, hardcore gamers can gather to try and unravel the mystery of the Complex and The Warden as well as find teammates to battle the challenging undergrounds with. 

“It’s fantastic to see that we have already such an active and friendly community, that has been given us enormous support during these years, with everything from words of encouragement to alpha bug reports and feedback. Now, we can finally put GTFO in their hands. Our Discord is of huge help as GTFO wouldn’t work with the usual random match-making mechanics. As this game is a challenge for hardcore gamers, you will need to find the right teammates. The official GTFO Discord is a good place to look,” said Ulf Andersson. 

Right now, GTFO does not have normal matchmaking. With GTFO being such a challenging game that puts a lot of emphasis on teamwork, normal random matchmaking wouldn’t cut it. We are working on creating a more intelligent way of matching people that ensures everyone’s experience is as good as possible. We are working on it, but it will not be implemented at launch. 

  • We have a very active Discord, already with around 80 000 members, where gamers find teams every day. 
  • One way to join a team/lobby without being Steam Friends is to copy your Lobby ID to your clipboard and paste it to your friend or players who want to play with you. Using this, they can join your lobby without being Steam Friends.   

Throughout Early Access they will be releasing new levels every few weeks and erasing the previous ones. New features will appear as well during Early Access as we head for a final launch product in the future.

GTFO is now available through Steam Early Access for $34.99.

Key Features:

  • 4 player cooperative PvE gameplay that puts you and your teammates through the ultimate co-op test.
  • Together, explore treacherous environments that are both creepy and enchanting.
  • Plan your expedition, equip and operate tools, combine your firepower, communicate and coordinate as a team - every detail counts if you are to survive the nightmare.
  • GTFO’s Expedition Director throws players into new challenging situations in every play session.
  • The Expedition Director controls every single parameter of the experience, derived from a hand tailored data set.
  • Come prepared! Search the complex for better gear to take on new, harder challenges.
  • Characters and dialog written by Adam Gascoine.
  • Nightmarish atmosphere accompanied by music from acclaimed composer Simon Viklund.

GTFO will be released for PC in 2020.
