The wait is over! In less than 2 weeks, the gates to Alaska are opening for EVERYONE on Steam. The demo release on PlayStation and Xbox will come in the following months.

Unlike the previous playtests, this demo is 100% open to the public. There are no random Steam selections, no limited spots, and absolutely no NDAs. If you are ready to dig, the Alaskan wilderness is waiting for you.

Thanks to the thousands of you who participated in our closed technical tests, we were able to significantly improve optimization, tweak the dirt physics, and enhance the vehicle handling. The build you will play on June 11th is smoother, more polished, and more realistic than ever before.

Here is a quick look at what awaits you on the claim:

• Narrated task-based gameplay to guide you step-by-step through the gold mining adventure.

• Overhauled earthmoving with vastly improved digging and realistic dirt mechanics.

• Advanced washplant setup featuring a free-placed building system and stronger cables.

• Refreshed panning that allows you to grab your pan and wash dirt in any water source.

• Miner's Sense to help you quickly locate dropped items or broken parts in the dirt.

• A living claim featuring interactable NPCs, a fully equipped shop, and an upgradeable player house.

• Full customization with settings to adjust the game to your PC's needs, plus localization in 20+ languages!

The dust has finally settled on the claims! Season #44 of the Leaderboards has officially come to an end. It was a fierce competition, and we are amazed by the numbers you’ve managed to pull out of the ground this time.

Congratulations to everyone who participated! Below you can find the list of the top prospectors who dominated the claims this season:

Work hard to secure your spot in TOP 100! This season’s winners will be awarded the exclusive Doggy Skins for both the Small and Big Dozer. Pay tribute to our favorite teammate, Dozer! 🐕🐾

Since we officially allowed modding last month, we’ve seen a lot of discussions and concerns regarding the integrity of the Leaderboards. We’ve heard your voices loud and clear: "Will the Leaderboards stay fair?", "Won't people just mod their way to the top?".

We want to reassure you: the spirit of fair competition remains our top priority.

As in every season, our team has manually reviewed the results. We have removed several users from the final rankings who were found using exploits or mods to gain an unfair advantage.

We want to be very clear on this:

1. Modding is for fun: We love seeing your creativity on Nexus Mods, but it is intended for your private, single-player experience.

2. Leaderboards are for skill: Using any tools, mods, or exploits that alter the game balance during a Leaderboard run is strictly forbidden.

3. Zero Tolerance: We are constantly monitoring the data. Anyone attempting to cheat the system will be disqualified to ensure that the "Gold" in Gold Mining Simulator is earned through strategy and grind, not through scripts.

Thank you to the vast majority of you who play fair and keep the competition exciting. We are watching the claims, and we won't let a few bad apples spoil the fun for the rest of the community.

The next chapter is coming! Make sure to wishlist Gold Mining Simulator 2 on Steam to stay updated on the upcoming Multiplayer mode and new adventures in Alaska.
