Gearbox's first expansion, Risk of Rain 2, is being panned on Steam as the developer admits the PC version is “in really bad shape”

Gearbox's acquisition of Risk of Rain in 2022 didn't spark much joy among fans, as many feared the studio would find a way to screw it up. And now here we are: Risk of Rain 2's Seekers of the Storm expansion, Gearbox's first, is out, and it's a disaster.

The most obvious problem with Seekers of the Storm was the cost. Due to regional pricing, the expansion's cost was significantly higher in some countries than others, and far from that of the previous expansion, Survivors of the Void: for example, Steam users said that Seekers of the Storm cost twice as much as Survivors of the Void in Brazil, even though the US price for both is listed as $15.
