Prey — Arkane's space immersive sim that refuses to hold your hand
The 2017 Prey is a reimagining of the name by Arkane Studios (the same team behind Dishonored), released on May 5, 2017 under Bethesda. You play as Morgan Yu aboard the orbital station Talos I, where a science experiment went badly wrong: the station is overrun by the Typhon, an alien lifeform that can disguise itself as anything from a medkit to a chair. There's no single correct path here. Push through with a shotgun, hack a turret and turn it on your enemies, or morph into a coffee mug and roll through a gap no human could fit. With us you get the game as a Steam gift: a bot sends Prey (or the edition with its add-on) right inside Steam, and once accepted it lands in your library for good.
What each edition includes
We carry several options, and it's worth not mixing them up, because they cover different needs:
- Prey (Standard) — the full base game. The entire Talos I story, every ability, every ending. If you just want Morgan Yu's story, this is enough.
- Prey: Mooncrash — this is an add-on, not a standalone game. It adds a roguelite mode: the TranStar lunar base, five different characters, procedurally shuffled threats, and a run that plays out differently every time. Mooncrash requires the base Prey already installed on the same account — without it the add-on simply won't launch.
- Prey: Digital Deluxe — the most complete bundle: the base game + Mooncrash + the Typhon Hunter multiplayer mode (asymmetric multiplayer where one Morgan player hunts five mimics disguised as objects). All in a single gift. If you're buying Prey for the first time and want all the content at once, this is your pick.
As a gift you receive exactly the edition you chose, in full — the one named on the card, with everything it contains.
Why Mooncrash isn't a "sequel" but a completely different rhythm
Base Prey is a slow, thoughtful survival-horror immersive sim about exploring one big station. Mooncrash takes the same combat and stealth mechanics and drops them into a roguelite: you run laps through the lunar base, die, start over — but the world is reshuffled with different enemies, different loot, different breakdowns. It turns the familiar system into a tense "escape in one run" puzzle. Many fans rank Mooncrash among the best roguelites precisely because deep immersive-sim mechanics work so well in short, high-pressure runs.
Typhon, neuromods and your playstyle
The heart of Prey is the neuromods you use to upgrade Morgan. You can go down the "human" branch (hacking, repair, strength, gunplay), or inject yourself with the Typhon's own powers: mimicry, kinetic blast, ignition, turning into objects. But there's a catch — the more alien you become, the more warily the station's systems react to you. This freedom is what makes Prey a genre classic: two different playthroughs barely resemble each other, and the replayability here is genuine, not just on paper.
Gift regions: ASIA, CIS, LATAM, MENA
Our Prey gifts are regional. That means the gift is tied to a region: ASIA, CIS, LATAM or MENA. Your Steam account region must match the gift's region — only then will it be accepted. The CIS region covers Russia and the CIS countries, which fits most of our buyers with no extra hassle. Each option's region is listed on its card, so pick the one that matches your Steam account.
How the Steam gift arrives
Delivery is simple: our bot adds you as a friend on Steam, sends your chosen Prey edition as a gift, and leaves once it's delivered. You don't need to send anything back or accept any trade offers — a real gift arrives exactly as a Steam gift. Steam Guard is not required to receive it. Important: this game must not already be in your Steam library, otherwise the gift won't be accepted, and your account region must match the gift's region. Delivery usually takes a couple of minutes, but we don't promise hard deadlines. If you're getting a standalone Mooncrash, remember it's an add-on and base Prey must already be installed on that account, otherwise it won't launch.
If you love immersive sims
Prey stands alongside the other big immersive sims from Arkane and Bethesda. If it clicks for you, check out Dishonored 2 — a stealth-action game from the same studio built around powers and freedom of approach, and Deathloop, where Arkane wound a time loop into a perfect-assassination puzzle. Fans of dark sci-fi and intricate systems will also enjoy Dishonored, an easy place to start with the studio's signature style.
The short version of what you buy
You get a Steam gift with the Prey edition you chose, and it stays on your Steam account forever. The editions differ by contents (Standard / Mooncrash add-on / Digital Deluxe with everything), and the gifts differ by region. Pick the variant that suits your account and whether you want just the story or also the roguelite and multiplayer.
