Funnel Runners Early Access Guide

Early Access Launch: July 16, 2026

Funnel Runners from Supernova Studios LLC enters Steam Early Access on July 16, 2026 at $14.99. Supernova Studios describes the current build as done and fully playable — Early Access is about what comes next. With 250,000+ wishlists before launch and coverage from IGN, FOX Weather, and Games Press, the studio is finishing the game in the open with its community rather than behind closed doors.

Why Early Access?

Funnel Runners is built as a storm sandbox designed to grow for years. New regions, weather events, hazards, mission types, and deeper progression are planned. The developers already shipped night mode and difficulty pacing because closed beta players asked for them. Early Access makes that feedback loop official with a public roadmap, regular dev updates, and an experimental branch for big changes.

What Ships on Day One

• American Suburbs biome with 3 base map layout variations
• 15 weather variations including F1 through EF5 tornado events
• 6 randomized van repair parts and 6 gadgets per run
• 6 health and stamina consumable types
• Solo play and online co-op for 1–8 players with auto-balanced difficulty
• Proximity voice chat, walkie-talkies, and van broadcast radio
• Night mode, controller support, Steam Achievements, and Steam Cloud

Everything above is RNG each run — van problems, weather, map layout, and item spawns change every match. Read our getting started guide for first-run tips.

Roadmap During Early Access

The confirmed roadmap includes three to four distinct new biomes: The Great Plains, The High Sierras, and The Desert are in development, each with unique weather events. Developers are also exploring new game modes, gadgets, quests, and mission objectives. Death cinematics and expanded mission types rank among the most requested features from the community. See future biomes for environment details.

Pricing and Content Guarantees

Purchasing during Early Access at $14.99 USD locks in the lowest price the game will ever be. Your purchase includes all content updates through the official 1.0 launch with absolutely no paid DLC during Early Access. When the full version releases after approximately 1 year, the base price increases to reflect new features — the community receives advance notice before any change.

Community Involvement

Discord and Steam discussions are the primary feedback channels. The closed beta group continues into Early Access. Developers watch streams and videos to see how players actually behave — a practice that already produced night mode. Join the official Discord linked from the Steam store page and post in Steam discussions to influence the roadmap.
