RimWorld — Steam Gift

RimWorld — a colony sim where every run writes its own saga

RimWorld is a colony simulator from Ludeon Studios in which a handful of crash survivors end up on a wild planet at the rim of known space. From that handful you grow a settlement: build, heal, farm, fend off raids and keep colonists from snapping. On paper it sounds like management, but in practice RimWorld produces the most absurd and dramatic stories you'd never script yourself. Here you buy the game as a Steam gift: after checkout the bot sends RimWorld straight to your library and it's tied to your account forever. Below we cover what's in the gift, how the expansions and supporter packs differ, and how delivery works.

The AI storyteller — the director of your drama

RimWorld's core hook isn't the graphics or the combat — it's the AI storyteller conducting events. Cassandra Classic ramps tension steadily, Phoebe Chillax gives you breathing room and a softer pace, and Randy Random throws anything at you at any moment with no logic at all. The storyteller watches your colony and feeds it events so they build into a narrative: a solar flare kills the power mid-winter, a trade caravan appears on the horizon, a beloved colonist spirals into drinking after a friend dies, an escaped prisoner torches the warehouse. You don't complete a pre-written script — you live your own.

Why no two colonies are alike

Each settler has a personality, a skill set, phobias, relationships and beliefs. One can't stand the sight of corpses, another can't sleep under open sky, a third falls for a bunkmate and suffers when it isn't mutual. Add biomes from icy tundra to scorching desert, hand-planned base layouts, deep medicine with prosthetics and bionics, animal taming and trade with factions, and you get a sandbox worth hundreds of hours. And Steam's huge mod workshop reshapes the game into almost anything, from light balance tweaks to total conversions.

What's included in this Steam gift

The gift is the full base RimWorld with all its core content: storytellers, biomes, factions, the character system and the entire gameplay backbone. This is exactly the game people come here for, and it's enough for hundreds of hours. The paid expansions are separate products and are not part of this gift, but they slot neatly on top of the base later when you want fresh mechanics.

RimWorld expansions — if you want more

Over time several major expansions launched on top of the base game, each shifting the focus:

• Royalty — an imperial faction, titles and psionic powers.
• Ideology — colony religions and beliefs, rituals and social roles.
• Biotech — children, mechanoids and gene editing; the most mechanically dense expansion.
• Anomaly — a lean into cosmic horror with entities from the void.
• Odyssey — a later chapter about travel and new horizons for your colony.

They're all standalone and not part of this gift — grab them separately once you've had your fill of the base.

Supporter packs: Name in Game and Commercial License

Beyond the game and expansions, RimWorld has special supporter items — a way to back the developer rather than gameplay content. The "Name in Game Pack" lets you add a name of your choosing to RimWorld's shared pawn pool: your namesake pawn can surface in any player's game — as an ally, raider, prisoner or random arrival. The "Commercial License" grants extended rights for commercial use of game content. Neither pack affects the gameplay itself, and both require an already-owned base RimWorld — they're nice bonuses on top, not a replacement for the game.

Platforms: Windows, macOS, Linux and Steam Deck

RimWorld runs on Windows, macOS and Linux and feels great on Steam Deck — it's light on hardware and boots on almost anything. It only gets heavy at the tail end of massive colonies with hundreds of pawns and a stack of mods, but those are nice problems to have dozens of hours in.

How we send the gift

Delivery is via Steam Gift, handled by our bot, and on your side it comes down to a couple of fields. You leave your Steam profile's friend-invite link and state your account region — from there it plays out like the game itself, just without the drama:

• the bot adds itself to your friends via the link, no manual approval needed;
• it sends RimWorld as a gift, you hit Accept, and the game settles into your library;
• after delivery the bot leaves your friends list on its own.

No keys and no manual code entry: this is a gift. Steam Guard isn't required to receive it. We don't promise a specific delivery time, but it usually goes through without delay. No registration on our site is needed to buy, payment is available from Russia and the CIS, and you can ask questions in the site chat.

Account region — the most important condition

Steam only accepts the gift if your account region matches the lot's region and if RimWorld isn't already in that account's library — a gift can't activate onto a game you already own, and that's the number-one reason for failures. So pick the variant for your region and enter your account country exactly in the input field; also check that friend requests are allowed in your profile, or the bot can't find you. If you accidentally grab the wrong region and the gift isn't accepted, the order value returns to your Brawl Games balance and you can immediately reorder from it.

Neighbouring titles for long evenings

If you clicked with the vibe of long runs where you direct the events, check out Baldur's Gate 3 — a huge story RPG with branching decisions and dozens of hours to finish, where every choice likewise steers the story its own way. And for fans of planning and positioning, Men of War is a real-time war strategy where cold calculation wins over click speed. Both titles deliver the same "plan it out and see how it plays" satisfaction as RimWorld.
