Ranch Simulator — Steam Gift

Ranch Simulator: Build, Hunt, Farm — the full game as a Steam gift

Ranch Simulator: Build, Hunt, Farm is an open-world ranching game about reviving a run-down family ranch. You inherit a sagging homestead somewhere in the wooded hills, and from there it's all on you: repair and expand the buildings, raise livestock, plant crops, hunt in the forest and sell what you produce. It's made by Toxic Dog and published by Excalibur Games. Early Access began on March 4, 2021, and the full release landed on November 3, 2023 — so you're picking up a finished, content-rich version, not an early build. We sell it as a Steam gift: the full base game is delivered straight to your account by our bot.

What you'll do on the ranch

The core loop lives up to the title — build, hunt, farm — but there's more to it. You start with near-ruins: a house, a barn and a few structures that need rebuilding board by board. From there the ranch grows around how you want to play.

• Building and repair. Fix walls, roof buildings, put up fences and new structures. This is the "House Flipper out in the wild" side of the game.
• Livestock. Raise cows, chickens, pigs and horses, care for them, breed them and collect produce — milk, eggs, meat.
• Farming. Plow fields, plant and harvest crops, and process goods all the way up to sausages and cheese.
• Hunting. Grab a weapon and head into the forest for game — your catch feeds you and earns you money.
• Economy. Trade, invest in equipment and expansion, and turn a shabby plot into a profitable ranch.

Solo or co-op for up to four

Ranch Simulator works just as well as a calm solo game or with a group. It supports online co-op for up to four players: one fixes the barns, another herds the cows, a third goes hunting — and the ranch grows noticeably faster. If you like relaxed simulators to chat over with friends, this is right up your alley. Over three million people have already picked it up, and reviews sit firmly in positive territory — it's loved for its laid-back vibe.

How Steam gift delivery works

There's no key to activate anywhere. The game arrives as a gift directly in your Steam, and the flow is simple:

• At checkout you provide your Steam friend invite link and your account region.
• Our bot adds itself to your friends and sends the gift — usually within a couple of minutes. You don't need to accept the friend request; the bot handles everything.
• You accept the gift in Steam, the game lands in your library, and after delivery the bot leaves your friends list automatically.
• Steam Guard is not required, and you don't need to buy or launch anything on the account beforehand.

Region and key conditions

The main thing to watch is the region. A Steam gift can only be accepted on an account whose region matches the gift's region, so it's important to enter your real Steam region at checkout. The second must-have: you must not already own the game — Steam won't let you accept a gift for a game your account already has. And finally, your profile settings must allow friend requests, or the bot simply can't reach you. Tick those three boxes and delivery goes smoothly.

Platform and playing comfort

Ranch Simulator is a Windows game (it needs 64-bit Windows 10). The developers don't list a native Linux build, but plenty of players run it on Steam Deck via the Proton compatibility layer — mileage varies, so if you play on Deck, check recent compatibility reviews. The game itself supports Steam Cloud and Family Sharing.

If this genre is your thing

If you enjoy calm build-and-manage simulators, take a look at similar games in our catalog: House Flipper 2 for people who love the renovation side, Farming Simulator 25 for big-scale farming with machinery, and Stardew Valley as the cozy pixel-art farm classic. Ranch Simulator sits somewhere between them — leaning on animals, hunting and hands-on ranch restoration.

The short version

You're buying the full Ranch Simulator: Build, Hunt, Farm game as a Steam gift to your account. No keys, no add-on purchases: provide your invite link and region, pay, and the game shows up in your library. Just make sure your account region matches the gift region and you don't already own the game.
