IRON NEST: Heavy Turret Simulator costs $19.99 on Steam, GOG and Epic, and launched with a 25% launch discount (making it ~$14.99 during the promo window). It has no DLC, no microtransactions, and no Game Pass — one price gets you the whole game. Here's the full pricing breakdown and where to buy.

Here's what you'll learn:

• The base price and launch discount
• Steam vs GOG vs Epic — where to buy and why it matters
• Is it ever free (demo vs full game)
• Game Pass / PS Plus / subscription status
• Whether $19.99 is worth it for the content

The Price, Simply

Regional pricing applies on all three stores (prices differ by country). The $19.99 base price is the same across storefronts — the only differences are discounts, DRM, and which library you want it in.

Where to Buy — Steam vs GOG vs Epic

All three sell the same game at the same base price. The differences:

• Steam — the biggest community, Steam achievements, screenshots/guides, and the demo lives here. Best choice if you want the active community and the largest ecosystem.
• GOG — DRM-free (no activation or online connection required to play) and GOG's 30-day refund policy. Best choice if you value ownership and offline play. GOG's community rating for the game is 4.7/5 across early reviews.
• Epic — standard Epic store copy; fine if you prefer the Epic library, but no unique advantages for this title.

Is It on Game Pass or PS Plus?

No. IRON NEST is not on Xbox Game Pass, not on PlayStation Plus, and not on Nintendo Switch Online — in fact it's PC-only (no console version exists at all), so subscription services don't apply. If you're on console, there's no version to play (see our release date guide for the platform situation).

Is $19.99 Worth It?

The value case is strong for what you get:

• Content volume: 15 campaign missions, procedurally generated objectives, 30 ammo types, 20 abilities, 100+ medals, 15 regions — a full campaign with replayability, not a 2-hour toy.
• Reception: the demo drew 4,200+ reviews and the game passed 800,000 Steam wishlists before launch; early GOG reviews sit at 4.7/5.
• Unique experience: there's no other game quite like manually operating a 5,000-ton artillery turret with a ballistic calculator, teleprinters and moral choices. For $19.99 (or ~$15 on promo), it's well inside "worth it" territory for sim/tactics fans — see our review guide for the full verdict.
