*Please note release is global and pre-loading is not possible.

We've also got an update on Beta saved games progress as well as your Steam Workshop items. As mentioned in the Beta Information post, we previously weren't sure that your saved games would function on launch day. We're now happy to report that your Career Mode - Scenario 1 save file will still be valid, however for the best play experience we do recommend starting over again – whilst we have tested many different saves we cannot 100% guarantee all save files will work. Franchise Mode save files will no longer function, so you are free to start over your new Franchise!

In terms of the Planet Zoo Steam Workshop blueprints that were uploaded during the Beta, they will stay on the Steam Workshop and should all work in-game. Beta blueprints are marked with a "Beta" tag on the Workshop. If your blueprint doesn’t function in game, it may be because some of the assets have been updated and might need re-positioning.

Lastly, for those who have played the Beta, you will automatically be credited 500 Conservation Credits to your account as a thank you for pre-ordering the Deluxe Edition and providing us with such amazing feedback.

As per our recently posted November Streaming Schedule, we will be counting down to launch from 10:30 AM GMT in our official Launch Livestream - be sure to tune in for some chats with the developers and awesome prizes!

See you soon!
 
Just for info 500cc looks a good amount to have but on the golden frog video it showed a CC page that suggested CC were nerfed by a factor of 100 so 500 will probably buy you a couple of peafowl Not a herd of elephants - just to manage expectations

Meanwhile thinking of heading home for lunch just to start the download!

Don't worry; there are lots of other ways to earn Conservation Credits in the game! If you play regularly you shouldn't have too many issues there :)
 
Yay I'm so excited!! Thank you Frontier. I won't be able to play until 5pm GMT but at least I can let the game install while I'm at work and then jump straight into it.
Looking forward to seeing everyone's adventures in their zoos!

So does that mean they were nerfed quite heavily in beta? :rolleyes: I personally would not be surprised (frontier does it loads with Elite Beta runs massively lowering costs to allow maximum testing) but would be good to manage expectations of others
 
I cannot remember the last time I have been this excited for a game to release. Even my little boy is excited he absolutely loved beta and watching the animals roaming around. Thank you frontier for bringing back that feeling of excitement like a child counting down to Christmas day. See you all at the live stream.
 
It shouldn't be too easy to get the best animals ;)
I never said it should be - just pre-empting launch day when everyone is complaining they have 500 CC which in Beta would have bought two or three good animals but now they can only afford peafowl with thye usual Planet zoo get it fixed at the end

I like that it may cost be 5000CC to buy one snow leapard (from the video) - but plenty will moan at the "inflation" between BETA and release that they will see being uncalled for Just to be clear Im not in that boat I like the higher costs (it will get rid of the hyper inflation possibilities that everyone was so worried about)
 
Alarms for the live stream and launch are set 😆 not that I need them!

Exactly the same, it's been a long time since I was this exited for a game release. I'm happy the simulation genre is back!

Yay! Thank you 😁
 
Aw, crud. It releases in nighttime in my country! I couldn't play it anyways, I can't afford it, my laptop kinda sucks and I need to prepare for tryouts. A highschooler's got more important things to do...

Anyways, thanks for the info. And happy zoo building everyone!
