Sons of The Forest is “out” on Steam, but the store page is down for many. We’ll tell you when is the best chance to buy the game and how you can work around the overloaded servers.
What’s going on? The most wanted game on Steam is blowing up the Steam store servers for its release, as expected. For example, the store page for Sons of The Forest is sporadically accessible, but the shopping cart is not. Completing a purchase seems impossible. Guided has a solution for you!

Can’t buy Sons of The Forest? This is how it might work
Why is the shop down? The store page for Sons of The Forest is currently crashing regularly, and a purchase is currently rather a stroke of luck for many fans. This is because Sons of The Forest has around 160,000 wish list entries and these players naturally want to buy the game. Thus, the store page of the survival game is massively overloaded, and the shopping cart is not accessible.
How it might work nevertheless: We could not reach Sons of The Forest via German servers. The US servers are also overloaded. With the help of a VPN program, we have Sons of The Forest, but then via South Africa we could add the game to the shopping cart and almost buy it. Yes, because overall Steam hangs together worldwide, of course. Aborted the transaction in the middle of the process via PayPal. Whether this partial success is due to fewer attempts or the server change helped, we can not say exactly. However, feel free to try it out! If this does not work, you have to wait until the store page is unloaded again. You can find our live ticker below.
Don’t do this: You should never ever spam the buy button! We encountered that you get banned from buying for a while.
