Hey Xbox players, Im Joel Rydholm from Coffee Stain Publishing, one of the original developers on 2014s Goat Simulator, and producer on Goat Simulator: Remastered! 10 years ago, we unleashed Pilgor into the world, a chaotic she-goat with a penchant for destruction, and now were bringing her back to run free amongst a new generation of goat-lovers.Goat Simulator: Remastered launches today for Xbox Series X|S, Windows PC, and with Game Pass, and brings all the fun, mayhem, and beloved bugs from the original game, while introducing a handful of new features for the most complete Goat Simulator experience yet (excluding Goat Simulator 3)!Whether youre new to Goat Simulator or riding the nostalgia wave, there are loads of wacky things to discover and enjoy, so buckle up , join the herd, and get ready for an adventure unlike any other (except, well, Goat Simulator 3).If youre still unconvinced, I have 7 reasons why you should jump straight into our udderly weird game today.Goat Simulator as a series thrives on parody, and one of my personal favourite examples of this is the Just Around the Corner escort quest in Goat MMO, where players have to lead McSlowPants to a specific destination. Yes, that is his legal name.Weve all experienced our fair share of boring video game escort quests, where the NPC youre supposed to be leading someone is as slow as a slug. So, we took this concept and made it a little more exciting by letting players expedite the process through non-stop headbutting, dragging McSlowPants along the ground, or even placing him into the in-game inventory and carrying him to the destination.Goat Simulator lets you play as all kinds of different goats, including a tall goat (that definitely isnt just a giraffe), a shopping cart goat (pretty sure this is literally just a shopping cart), and even a goat goat talk about getting the full Goat Simulator experience!With a handy mutator menu thats been introduced as part of the remaster, you can now change your appearance on the fly, and enjoy playing as all manner of goats, goat-like creatures, and not-so-goat-like creatures, whenever you want!The Goat Simulator series has about as many references and easter eggs crammed into it as you could ever want, and Goat Simulator: Remastered is no different. One of my favourite references is an entire quest that takes players on a mysterious journey to find the Turdis, a portable toilet that looks suspiciously like a certain famous blue police box.Once headbutted, the Turdis will disappear and show up at various locations around the map, travelling through space (and time) in true sci-fi fashion.For any Sanctum fans, theres also a super niche reference in the Payday DLC quest where you have to embark on a quest to steal a copy of Sanctum 3 (which does not exist at least not yet) and upload it to the pirate ship mainframe youll have to try it for yourself to see what happens though!If you ever missed out on any of the old Goat Simulator DLC packs on PC, then youre in luck, because all 5 come packaged with Goat Simulator: Remastered for you to enjoy. Theres even an additional DLC pack included that was originally exclusive to Goat Simulator Mobile can you baaa-lieve it?From the medieval mayhem of Goat MMO to the hilarious heists of PAYDAY, know that youre in for a wild ride.While every DLC in Goat Simulator: Remastered has fun elements and numerous quirks, my personal favourite is Goat MMO Simulator. Not only was it incredibly fun to develop, but it has some of the silliest, wildest, and most unhinged jokes incorporated into it. There are wandering NPCs exclaiming about their lost butter, elves asking you to embark on the important quest of licking 10,000 things, demons being spawn camped by a pack of nerdy goats, a man that asks you for assistance in inflating his knee so he can reach the skies, and an obligatory cow level (if you know you know).Goat Simulator has a lot crammed into it, and theres a good chance if you played it back in 2014 that you didnt experience absolutely everything. There are tons of hidden secrets and niche mechanics that few know about, and with your newfound gaming skills from the last 10 years, youll no doubt discover more than before!As an example, the pentagram symbol from the base game is a key component in more than one quest, which not a lot of players realised. And whats better is that there are some fun interactions built into the game if you decide to bring other objects to the symbol instead of those poor NPCs I wont spoil things too much, but definitely give it a go and see what you find!Did I mention that you get to play as a goat? Goat Simulator: Remastered is all about embracing the goat lifestyle, which means headbutting everything you see, licking random things, and screaming at passers-by, and just generally causing havoc.If that sounds like something youve always wanted to do, then great! Because thats pretty much what this game is about and let me tell you, its a lot of fun. Some would say its even the most goated way of life.Goat Simulator: Remastered is available today for Xbox Series X|S, Windows PC, and with Game Pass.
