The Evil Within 2 — Steam Gift

The Evil Within 2 — descend back into STEM (Steam Gift)

The Evil Within 2 is a survival horror from Tango Gameworks, led by Resident Evil creator Shinji Mikami, and published by Bethesda Softworks. Detective Sebastian Castellanos dives once more into the warped reality of STEM to find his daughter Lily inside the crumbling town of Union. You get the game as a Steam gift — no discs, no shipping: after payment the bot adds you as a friend and sends The Evil Within 2 straight into your Steam library.

What kind of game this is

Where the first game was a claustrophobic corridor nightmare, the sequel loosens the leash: Union is a set of semi-open districts you can sneak through, explore houses, scavenge resources and decide whether to fight or slip past. Tango kept that signature feeling of vulnerability — ammo is always scarce, healing is rare, and something is watching you from the shadows. The story is personal and emotional: a father who lost everything and will walk through hell for his child. It launched on October 13, 2017 and still stands as one of the most respected horrors of its generation, with atmosphere, monster design and a stealth-action-crafting balance that age remarkably well.

What's in this edition

This listing is the base version of The Evil Within 2 — the complete game, with the full story campaign from start to credits, and that's exactly the edition you get as a gift. You don't need to buy anything extra to finish it: unlike the first game, the sequel never received separate story DLC. The only add-on back in the day was the pre-order Last Chance Pack (a starter weapon and supplies), but that was a temporary pre-order bonus rather than a separate paid DLC, and it has no effect on completing the game.

• 🎮 The full single-player campaign of The Evil Within 2.
• 🧠 The Marrow hub, Sebastian's ability upgrades and the crafting system.
• 🔫 All difficulty modes, including the hardcore ones for true survival fans.

Gift region — please read

This gift is regional: it is sent to and accepted on a Steam account registered in the CIS region (Russia and CIS countries). Your Steam account region must match the gift's region — if your Steam is set to that region, everything goes through normally. If your account belongs to another region, the gift may not be accepted, so check your account region before buying. One more important point: the game must NOT already be in your Steam library, otherwise the gift won't go through. We describe exactly what this is — we won't invent a "global version" or alternative regional builds of this lot, the gift has a single region.

How the Steam gift arrives

It all happens inside the Steam client and usually takes a couple of minutes (we don't promise any hard deadlines):

• 🤖 Our bot sends you a friend request — accept it.
• 🎁 The bot sends The Evil Within 2 as a gift, and you confirm receipt in Steam. You do NOT need to accept any trade offers or send anything back — the real gift arrives exactly as a gift.
• 🛡 Steam Guard is not required to receive the gift.
• ✅ Once accepted, the game is yours for good on that account, and the bot leaves your friends list.

From there it's just like any normal Steam purchase: reinstall it, play offline, keep cloud saves — the game is tied to your account as ownership, not a subscription.

System requirements and platforms

The Evil Within 2 is the Windows PC version via Steam. It runs comfortably on modern GPUs and supports both gamepad and keyboard-and-mouse. Plenty of people also run it on the Steam Deck — being an older title, it performs smoothly even on a handheld (you may want to tweak a few graphics settings). This is a Steam gift only and has nothing to do with the console (PS4/Xbox One) versions.

Who it's for

Grab it if you love old-school survival horror, where the dread comes not from jump scares but from constant scarcity and the feeling that you're weaker than anything on screen. Fans of Resident Evil, Silent Hill and psychological horror will feel right at home. Want more nightmares in the same vein? Check the first game The Evil Within, the supernatural action game from the same Tango Gameworks Ghostwire: Tokyo, and from Bethesda's stealth universe Dishonored 2.

Gameplay: survival, stealth and crafting

In Union every bullet counts, so the game constantly pushes you to plan ahead. You craft traps and consumables from scavenged junk, upgrade Sebastian at the Marrow — branches for stealth, health, recovery and combat power — and pick your own style: quietly pick enemies off from cover, or go loud when there's nowhere left to run. Bosses here aren't just bullet sponges but distinct nightmares with their own logic, each demanding a different approach. That freedom and constant tension are exactly why The Evil Within 2 is still loved years after release.

How we deliver

We source the game from a supplier and deliver it as a Steam gift after your order is placed — usually quickly. Delivery needs no input from you: accept the bot as a friend, accept the gift, play. If anything snags while you're receiving it, message us and we'll sort it out.
