The Gunk is a game about two friends who run a small scavenging outfit together, and who travel from one space rock to another in search for resources they can harvest and sell.

One day they land on a planet that looks dead from a distance, turns out to be unlike any other they’ve set foot on. A slimy parasite­ — or gunk — covers vast areas and seems to corrupt the otherwise vibrant nature and wildlife.

It’s clear that they must fight this gunk to understand what’s happened and to save the dying planet. But this also creates a rift between them; on one hand, the planet will die if we don’t rid the planet of the gunk.

On the other, we’ve got problems of our own and surely this isn’t our fight to begin with.

So, who cares… right? Do we have to?

On the back of The Gunk’s strong performance on Xbox Game Pass, the game will be receiving a new photo mode.

With the addition of this new mode, players will be given the tools to take and edit stunning shots of The Gunk, allowing the community to share images from the game online via this much-requested feature.

Along with the new photo mode, The Gunk will soon be opened up to a larger audience thanks to the addition of language support for four new languages, including Brazilian Portuguese, Japanese, simplified Chinese and Russian, meeting the demand of the community’s most requested languages.

Thunderful is also pleased to announce that The Gunk will be released on Steam and other PC platforms in Spring 2022.

The release will include the new photo mode and the additional languages that will be added to the Xbox version of the game.

The Gunk is currently available for Xbox Series X|S, Xbox One, and PC (Game Pass).
