Blog #34 – Raft is finally released!
On 23 May, 2018 by RedbeetHellooo! This is such an amazing day, so lets get right to it!
After more than a year in development, Raft is finally out on Steam! With a bunch of new features such as multiplayer, islands, abandoned rafts and much more we are excited to let you once again jump into the life of raft survival!
We’ve also got a fresh out the oven trailer for you! Give it a look!
We’re incredibly happy to finally have the new version of the game out there again! Thanks to the amazing response we got on the prototype, we’ve been able to develop Raft into the game we envisioned from the start, and we can’t say how glad and humbled we are to have been given that opportunity. Therefore we want to give a huge shout out and the biggest thank you to everyone who played the game, gave us feedback, donated and motivated us during development. Your support has been amazing!
Even though the game is now out and miles better than the prototype in every aspect, development has not stopped. Raft will continue to grow during the Early Access. With the coming addition of more wildlife and equipment, more places to explore and more things to craft, we’ll continue to build on the foundation that we’ve just released. With the help of your feedback, we will strive to make this the best game we can possibly make.
With that said. We thoroughly hope you will enjoy Raft and we can’t wait to hear what you think about it!
Until next time,
Raft development team.
is there really discount on scrap mechanic players?
Yes
Guys pls if u want to multiplayer add me on discord Gorilla#4105
pls make this game free 2 play
The devs need the money to develop the game
or give me 2 keys pls
I don’t think they will give out keys to random people
Will there be a mac OSx version?
I hope theres a mac version, love this sm
give me 1 keys pls
Can i get a key to play this game it would help with my youtube channel and my twitch streams
Me to
buy it then morons
YO YO YO YO
Hi. dev team 🙁 can you give me one Raft key please i wanna play Raft on steam 🙁 i already playing demo version alot. when i on my facebook i see raft realease on steam i really want Raft 🙁 but steam not accept my country bank i can’t buy Raft i just can playing free game and some game i got from giveaway 🙁 please let me have Raft on steam and playing 🙁
paypal exists
Any plans on taking Raft to console?
This would be fantastic!
I agree, if possible please bring to console! I’d buy it.
Don’t know why I got a steam discount… but this game looks amazing so far and I am very hyped for the future. Although I would recommend more navigation equipment for those that love to sail! Again, very hyped about this, and hyped about upcoming updates to see where the amazing devs can take this game.
probably own scrap mechanic.
I was super happy about this coming out. Unfortunately $20 for an Early Access with so little content is way too much. You need to discount this until it’s done- that way early adopters have an incentive to buy it. I hate to make comparisons, but Subnautica is fully released and is only $5 more. I’ll have to wait for a sale like I’m sure a lot of others will.
I have the game and their is actually a lot of content.
Wait, I get 20% off because of a game I bought a long time ago and don’t even really play anymore??? Awesome!!! I played the demo of Raft a while back, I’m pretty excited about the full version.
Will Raft be developed to be playable on the Mac because I have played this on itch.io when it was first made and have been waiting for this for a while now but I don’t own a windows computer.
same
game is amazing! the 2 things that is missing is that it needs to be a little more adventurous, and what i mean by that is able to travel to large islands and different floating rafts like maybe a floating shipping containers or half underwater boats or planes. second thing that is missing is more crafting items to customize or so. and more stuff like a make shift scuba tank set up. the shark is a little to much right now. but all in all the game is just simply amazing and there is so much potential for the game right now. all i can say is please do not abandon the game like so many of the others
will there be a mac version anytime soon!? im super excited to play but dont have windows 🙁
How many players can be in 1 world at a time?? because I wanna play with my friends , we have 5
There can be an infinite amount it will just get laggy when u have like 7 or 8 people so ur good to go.
daj mi 1 kľúče pls
daj mi 1 kľúče pls
Im really enjoy the release of raft so far.
But i hope there wille be more updates soon, BEacause i really have tyhe feeling that i already beat the game at the second day of the realease, i mean that not really normall.
i really like the game, i acccually love it, but multiplayer is not really it, also you can only play with 1 friend oin your raft? why not more then 2 players on 1 raft?
just a few questions. otherwise i wouldn’t change a thing i really love it. thanks for developing such a nice sandbow game <3
I have played with 3 people on a raft at a time. The recommended number is 2-4 people, but i think you can have more than 4. not quite sure.
when is the nearest update and are you guys gonna add pvp that would be hell of a fun
There is pop. Enable friendly fire and off you go.
Can you add Mac support and lower the price?
They wont lower the price need the money so if u want it buy it pay full price.
Can you add in-game chat for those who do not own mics?
we have certain problems with my friends at the moment multiplayer jguar, but the one that bothers most is the following:
If I play with 2 more friends and we advance in the game, doing research and discovering new things to craftear, then another friend joins he does not have the new objects to be able to create them, and he can not investigate them at the research table
we also have the problem of respawn, if we are playing and some friend gets out, then time comes back sometimes does not appear in the raft but in the dead sea or floating, it is a bit annoying, nose if it is our problem or the game.
Thank you
This game is unrealstic because sharks don’t want to attack humens they misstakes us as dameged seals
Youre also in the middle of a seemingly endless ocean on a raft that you can grow trees on. also these trees take a day to grow.
Im not saying youre wrong, but its pretty clear the shark is for challenge, not realism.
Is this awesome looking game going to make it to consoles? I don’t have a pc, but me and some friends really want to play this.
awesome Game! Keep developing!!! 🙂
A server with pvp would be good! A world where players can spawn and hit a raft of a anather player, fighting, and so on…
Oh my… This comment section is full of beggers.
Hey played the crap out of the demo back when you guys were starting out and is there any way to get it on steam if you played it before it was pay to play? Also please bring it to console soon. Keep up the good work
When will it release on ps4?
Idea: 2 – 4 players maybe double sharks?
One shark is annoying enough ^^
First of all, congratulations on your new release, i remember playing Raft a while back and it was quite fun! I’m even considering buying it even though as the game is now i think its lacking action, i think you should make the Gameplay a little faster paced (is this correct english?) because right now i dont think you can play more than 12 Hours before getting bored. Still congratulations!
When will this game be available for mac
Dear developer
Hello
When I play with my friends, I change my files and play games. However, due to renaming, the archive in the game can not be deleted. Even if the folder is deleted, the archive will automatically appear after entering the game again. The problem is annoying.
Look forward to the solution. Thank you
The problem has been solved
The folder is operated on when the game is running
will raft come as mobile version???
Probably not because it would lag and be glitches and i think they should focus on console or more things to do within the game itself but i could see it as a side project.
Looks great! Everything’s clean, simple, and easy to learn. Unfortunately, I’ve noticed that some actions seem to, uh, disappear. For instance, islands just delete from beneath my feet, and whenever I try to make food or clean water those also just disappear after they’re complete. Is what I’m experiencing bugs? I sure hope it is, I spent 20 dollars on this game when I could have bought any other game instead.
Thank you and I hope to hear from you guys soon!
The water evaporates when you have the upgraded cleaner, since there is no leaf to keep it safe from the sun.
please add more new opportunities and achievements !!!
please add more new opportunities and achievements !!! GREAT GAME!!!
Avaliable con Mac?
Sometimes when I put items in a box,
Items will be duplicated.
Raft is the best survival game I’ve ever played. But when I built the wall and the sharks were still able to bite and I also lost the wall. I can not see the sharks biting my friends. I hope the dev team can offer some solution to inform the player that the sharks are biting.
P / s: Can you give me a key game ? I want to invite my friends, but they are not eligible to buy. Thanks to dev team
If we had an earlier version of the game, do we have to buy it again, or will our copy update on launching? I’ll admit that it’s been a while.
Will it ever be available to play on mac?
Hey Raft peps.
Me and my friends really enjoyed the game and we found a little hint to some sort of story line.
I am just really interested in knowing if you are going to add more stuff to the game because we kinda finished it in a couple hours and then there was nothing other to do than expanding the raft :/
Good afternoon! I have problems with the game! After I built a very (!) Large raft – the game was at times slow down! Waiting for updates) Yes, and I have a good computer. If you need I can provide any information so that you can correct the problem! Thank you.
My email is mr.daymon@mail.ru
Is there going to be a mac version, if so when?

I hope the game can add FOV setting, it give me a bad headache when I play raft for over 30mins…
Me and 3 of my friends started playing on June first.
At first it didnt quite work out because my friends internet is crap.
But now to my feedback ^^
We have realised that after some playtime, we collected quite a few stones, and tons of feathers. Sadly you cant do much with both of these items. It would be very nice to see an advanced furnace, made out of stone maybe.
Also, it would be great to have more decoration items, such as a variety of tables, new chairs, a small lamp (kinda like an oil lamp), and more stuff.
It would also be very awesome if there would be more weapons. For example a sword or a knife made out of plastiv and metal maybe, or wood and metal, thats your choice.
Another thing that would be amazing, would be fish. Fish that really swim, and jelly fish, and maybe even dolphins.
We really enjoy playing the game, but after 15 hours on one raft it gets kinda boring.
I hope to hear from you soon 😀
Hey Dev’s,
My friends and I are loving the release of the game. We think for a first release to steam it is an amazing game.
Thank you for creating this. My friends and I are argumentative and thick headed at the best of times so this kinda forces us to work together and that is great! We love how death works and are very pleased. We would like an update to environment or story though. Defiantly more reasearch.
I know it took a long time to make this game and I’m not trying to be pushy but please update this. I don’t know how big the team working on RAFT is but I hope this game gets the much needed love it deserves. It’s fun and interesting.
This game has stopped us from wanting a subnautica multiplayer update. It replaces Rust, Sea of Thives and Subnatica for us all at once. Environmental updates would be amazing. More dangerous animals. Damage types and fear factor would be nice. WE NO LINGER FEAR THE SEA!!! My friends and I were talking about a megladon spawning in after Miller a certain amount of sharks and it being able to bite down on a 2×3 area and maybe instakilling you….? Hardcore and normal feel the same but the ability to build a custom raft is so much fun!!! It kept us in it after we done everything for SO long. We’re still on our first game as we are building a floating self sufficient city.
End note:
Your game is amazing and to us is much better then AAA titles. Wouldn’t want to but would pay $70 for this game…. after a few updates to the environment.
Thanks Dev’s for an amazing game.
Couldnt have said it better myself!
I agree with the lot of it and i just love the postovity

Los felicito por el juego que estan haciendo es fabuloso!pero hay un serio problema con los servidores en el aspecto del ping(lag) que hay no me baja de 500 ms y tambien en el aspecto de las tarjetas graficas amd,gracias por su atencion 😉
What is with all the begging for a key? It’s not expensive! Give up a few beers, or your daily Starbucks or quit smoking or whatever in your life has made $20 seem so bad you’d beg a stranger for it. Egads.
Hey Dev types — just so ya know: I’m an old-school gamer, been gaming online since 1994 (2400 baud modem – go tech!), video games since tank wars in the mid-70s – yeah, that kind’ve gamer.
I actually semi-retired from gaming because it was all the same junk out there. Same stuff, different day. I’ve tried every game type that exists – sandbox is not one of my faves, despite the longevity I got from Minecraft.
Raft is: Refreshing. Sure, it’s a sandbox – I’ve seen it before. But this has a level of awesome I’m really happy with! An gaming buddy of mine told me about it (took him nearly a month to convince me though. At least he’s persistent), we linked up to give it a shot – it’s fun.
I prefer it solo as to multiplayer (look – we’re old school and know the tricks: We had every recipe researched in under an hour) as it takes longer to play and I like that it’s a bit more frantic than multiplayer. It’s one thing to have one of us doing scrapping and the other doing food & building, but something entirely different when you have to do that by yourself – including fend off Mr. Chompy. Though I find it ironic that he gets stuck cooking and I, as the chick, gets stuck with grunt work. 😛
I’m looking forward to seeing where this game is going to go as it develops, so congrats on winning some of us ‘oldies’ back for a little while.
Do you think you have any plans or ideas about making raft for mobile?
Hi.
I just randomly stumbled over this game on twitch. Bought it 10 minutes later. It´s awsome and I wanna quit work and go home and play 🙂 Please never stop developing it. I know it will take time since you are only 3 ppl but hopfully it sells really good on steam so you can hire more 🙂
To me it has developed into The Sims now but on the water and as you know you can play the sims for ever and ever as long as you get new stuff. I wanna build a 5 level raft with everything you could need in a house.
So what do I want more in this game?
First a mechanic that forces you to sleep, you should not be able to be awake more than 48 hours. If you do there should be a percentage of errors crafting stuff the longer you skipp sleep.
Second, if you are playing simultanious with a friend it would be fun if you could find eachother on the radar.
stuff:
chlothes, bathroom stuff, kitchen stuff, temperature (Ice mountains), more animals(fish, wales, jellyfish, dolphins, butterflies, birds).
Last but not least: that stuff in the water keeps floating by even when your raft stands still, at least in a slower pace.
Keep it up! I will play this forever if you add more stuff.
better to add small updates than in big chunks because then we might loose interest.
hi i youssef i love raft
i need this game! but how?
Будет ли игра Raft на 32-битной системе?

我想您这边应该有能看明白中文的,所以就直接跟您说了,请问,下次更新是什么时间,会有重大更新吗?对游戏很期待,希望可以玩到新的内容,
Hi I’m i have question . Will there soon be a pocket version
Hi 🙂
First of all awesome game!
Started playing 48 hours ago with a friend. We “finished” the game by achieving every acquisition and finding the left drilling station. If i can suggest some future things for the game. Obviously i hope you guys make Utopia a thing 🙂 And perhaps bring a nice story line behind it. Perhaps some more crafting things and stuff you know. But all in all a very good survival game 🙂
Greetings
It will be possible to play on mac?? Thanks you for the answer.
It will be possible to play on mac? Thanks for your answer.
ddgh
great game! except for the fact that my raft wont move even with a sail. because of that, i wont be playing on survival mode for a while.

Hi people!! I just finish the game, I get the radio and i arrive to the base…that’s it? Really?? This game has capacity for much more, more costumizacion of the ship, possibility of having non-player characters to your orders, more objects of manufacture, ability to direct the ship, open online, market, treasure missions updated weekly … including a battle royale … think about it …
Console versions of the game would be cool! It will be an even better multiplayer experience with cross-play between the Xbox One, Nintendo Switch, and PC version. I don’t think Playstation would be intrested in cross-play due to lack of cooperation. This can be seen in other games too (not to name).

i love this game so much ! ! <3
I love the utopia idea i am searching for it myself. It seems on radar that it’s teleporting. I hope utopia will be worth all the trouble and you dont make it bad like the forest ending witch was pretty dissapoiting. Hope for new updates
When will there be a version on GOG? Not buying on Steam.
It’s been long proven that DRM-free games do not hurt sales. Even if the game is pirated more, the increased awareness results in more genuine copies being sold.
