Unturned's 10th Anniversary

Today, we celebrate ten years of Unturned on Steam!

If you'd like to read a long-winded rambling blog post from the overly nostalgic developer, you may enjoy:
Reflecting on 10 Years of Unturned

Event Content


The main menu is decorated with a harkening back to the 2.0 era. And, for the first time, we're releasing a craftable mystery box, or, more accurately, mystery... tophat?

Reach in and draw a random item from the hat! Its design pays homage to the company's early hat-themed logos (I named SDG when I was around 12-13 and unfortunately don't recall quite what I was thinking). The hat contains a variety of classic items from Unturned 2.2.5. It's similar to the original Anniversary Gift Bag, but freely craftable rather than a playtime drop in our continued opposition against bot farms.

For the next two weeks, as part of the anniversary event, you can craft it from Menu > Survivors > Inventory > Crafting:



Credit and special thanks to Toothy Deerryte! We hired her to port the assets from her 2.0 data mining, and I think she brought a special nostalgic perspective as a player from that time.

New SDGNelson Plush


We're also excited to unveil a new collaboration with Makeship to make the SDGNelson/SDG-logo-character into a limited-edition collectible plush toy!


With your own genetic* clone of Unturned's developer (Nelson), you'll have unprecedented access to request features, report bugs, and ask your burning questions about the lore**.

*It's yet unconfirmed whether the original Nelson is composed of polypropylene cotton and ultra-soft fleece. This is almost certainly a marketing gimmick.

**Plushie is incapable of responding or acting on these inquiries. But hey, don't let that stop you from asking away!
