The Casting of Frank Stone‘s developers may have forgotten to upload the game on Steam on release day. Even as the game has come out simultaneously on many platforms, Supermassive Games and Behaviour Interactive’s narrative-driven horror project may be experiencing some launch day hiccups. However, they were also quick to amend this issue after it was reported.
With The Casting of Frank Stone‘s playable demo coming out a week earlier, fans have been generally excited about the full game’s launch. Many have praised the look and feel of the title, with some applauding the game for being faithful to the Supermassive Games formula that fans have grown to love. Others were looking forward to seeing what Easter eggs relating to Dead by Daylight can be found. Some were just happy to be able to play a new Supermassive Games title. However, even with the positive hype that surrounded the title, it seems the developers may have run into a major problem during launch day.
According to Reddit user Claudette6969, it seems the developers may have forgotten to upload the game’s Steam version on launch day. While it may have likely been an error on Supermassive Games’ part, many users on the site found the grave mistake funny. It was eventually fixed after a few hours, and fans were able to experience The Casting of Frank Stone properly by restarting their Steam client. It’s important to note that only the Steam version had this problem and other platforms experienced no delays.
Where Can Fans Play The Casting of Frank Stone?
- PC
- Xbox Series X/S
- PlayStation 5
Many fans have claimed that this is not the first time Supermassive Games may have bungled a release. The Dark Pictures Anthology: Man of Medan on Switch performed horribly on launch, with fans criticizing the very poor frame rate it had. While the case of forgetting to upload the game sends a very bad message, it’s surprising that a lot of players seem to be chuckling at the lapse made by Supermassive. This is especially true since those who’ve played the game have had a good time doing so.
The Casting of Frank Stone improves on the Supermassive Games formula by introducing new features that should entice players to go for multiple runs and discover new paths and plots. The Cutting Room floor looks to allow players to try new responses and branches without sacrificing their main save. It’s these little things that help allow players to appreciate the title as a whole, even as blunders outside the game happen. Besides, the move by the developers to address this concern quickly is commendable.
