Now out of Early Access!

After 5 years of development in Early Access, I’m excited to bring Glider Sim to full release on Steam! 🪂

I feel the game has reached the scope and polish I’ve been working toward, and it’s time to officially remove the “Early Access” tag.

I never imagined Glider Sim would grow to the scale it has today. The original plan was to create a small paragliding game with just a couple of maps. Over the years, that vision has grown to include 9 different gliders and aircraft, the entire world to explore, dynamic time of day, wind and thermal systems - all playable in multiplayer!

Development is far from over. I have plenty more updates planned, so stay tuned! Thank you to everyone who has played, shared feedback, and supported Glider Sim along the way. Your support has helped make this possible.

To celebrate, enjoy a 30% launch discount! If you know any friends or family who would love to take flight, please help spread the word. It makes a big difference!

Happy Flying,

-Joey Developer of Glider Sim
