Valve’s Steam storefront has been struggling lately as the highly anticipated sequel to the cult classic horror game The Forest, Sons of the Forest, has finally launched on Steam through early access. The massive popularity of the game has caused an influx of demand, leading to issues that have prevented many fans from being able to purchase the game.
It was a long wait for the sequel to The Forest, with the game first being announced in 2019 and the developers, Endnight Games, finally releasing the game on Steam this month. With the game being such a beloved classic, it’s no surprise that it has caused a huge surge in demand on the Steam storefront.
Unfortunately, the high demand has caused issues for the Steam storefront, with many fans unable to buy the game at all due to the overloaded servers. The issues range from being unable to log in to being unable to purchase the game, and it has caused a lot of frustration among fans who have been eagerly awaiting the game’s release.
Most purchases on the site are functioning normally, however, gamers trying to buy Sons of the Forest have encountered multiple glitches and crashes, such as the game not being added to the cart or disappearing from the cart during checkout.
