Availability
We put this game to every storefront we collect. A market that answered not sold has told us something about the game; a market we never asked has not, and the two are never drawn the same.
Discounts
Every price cut of more than 20% we have observed, in each market that quoted one, with this game's chart position on either side of it. These are episodes, not a model: a sale is one event, and one event cannot tell you what the next one will do.
Reviews, worldwide (the counter carries no country): 29.43/day in the week to Aug 19 → 26.57/day in the week after.
For scale, across Steam · Top Sellers · Brazil over the last 30 days: the 24 chart moves that followed a price cut of more than 20% went a median of 9 places towards #1, and the 2,404 moves with no price cut behind them went 2 away. One store, one chart, one country — it is the only place we have enough observations to say even that.
Prices outside the United States have been collected since 6 August 2026 and chart positions since 19 July 2026, so a cut older than that has no market to compare and a market that joined later has no history yet. Nothing here is converted between currencies.
About
Welcome to SAND: Raiders of Sophie. Pilot your custom built war machines across the dunes of a fallen planet, battle rival players, scavenge for loot, weapons, ammo and resources, survive and extract with your spoils in a massive procedurally generated world.
Out here on Sophie, a raider is only as strong as their Trampler. Fully customizable, gigantic walking mechs that shield you from the elements, defend you and your loot from rival scavengers and rain destruction on anything that obstructs your pursuit of becoming the most notorious raider upon the dunes!
Design a modular trampler where your creativity and will to succeed is your only limit.
Build an impenetrable fortress that can weather the deadliest of assaults, a walking war machine stacked with mounted turrets and firepower, something small and stealthy to get you out of trouble as quickly as you get into it or a chaotic jumble of modules to confuse and disorient your enemies.
No matter your playstyle, you can design a trampler to support it.
Get your crew together, or go solo as you embark on expeditions. Deploy into the world, chart your course, and scavenge cities, ruins, shipwrecks and other remnants of a fallen world for loot. Survive encounters with the mysterious supernatural Upiors, fight or talk your way out of confrontations with other players, locate your extract point and escape to the safety of the orbital station with your loot, life and Trampler intact.
Smoke on the horizon, the groans of the undead echoing through the cities, and the distant rumble of sand all signal danger. Every city looted, shipwreck scoured or ill-timed encounter with other scavengers might just be your last, so keep your wits about you.
There are no friends on Sophie, the only ones you can trust are you and yours.
Design your Tramplers from scratch in the Trampler Editor before deploying into the world. Test your builds and scavenge lower-tier items at your own pace in Voyage Mode, or raise the stakes in Storm Dive for higher-tier loot and greater rewards, where as sandstorms slowly engulf the region, the risk of confrontations with other scavengers and the loss of your hard earned loot increases.

i do not recommend this game at all! they disable stuff to say they are fixing it then take forever to actually fix it. reenable it and break more stuff! like come on!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! this game is so trash would not recommend anyone to buy it unless it becomes free which is hsould be
I'll start by saying that I NEVER leave reviews. NEVER, EVER. This will actually be my first review. This game has pissed me off so much that I decided it was necessary to leave one. In the current state of this game as of 7/25/26, it is not worth it to play for anyone looking to make a new purchase. Let these "devs" fix this broken ass game first before you hop in. This game is absolutely riddled with bugs. I don't say that lightly at all. It has so many issues and the devs try to fix things and make it worse. Oh and don't get me started on the cheaters. They're in some many of these lobbies! The anti-cheat does not work well after the "anti-cheat" update. You can load into a game, get robbed of all your gear by cheaters before touching down and then get booted back to the lobby because its stuck on a loading screen and you lose all of your gear. Whether that's a cheater's doing, or the game's fault, this represents one of the many ways this game absolutely f#$#'s you and any hard work you put into building a bank. Also, the game is heavily focused on your trampler and having the necessary upgrades for battle. There is no matchmaking based on your trampler upgrades it seems, so you can go up against people with absolute god tier equipment over, and over, and over again. You will most certainly lose these battles despite having better gun skill because of the upgrades on their tramplers and how fast they can rain down fire upon your measly, feeble early game builds. In addition, there is no duo game mode, so if you spawn in with two people you're in a lobby with trios and already at a disadvantage. This aspect is absolutely stupid and frustrating. You can also spawn in with 4 people and go up against 6 man squads and be at a disadvantage every time because the game splits the parties up by "solo", "trio", and (big team battle) "six-man" squads. I should add that there is no way to fill the squad either, so you're on your own if you only have one other person to play with. And, for you Stans out there, I get the whole, early access BS, and I don't care. I'm done with these titles using "early-access" as an excuse for putting out slop while charging for it. Test and patch your damn game. Then, do it again and again, until it's in a very solid state. Do another close-beta or something, I don't care, just do better. Anyway....Continuing on, this game can, at times, be very slow paced. There is way too much time spent in your binoculars or just standing there while your trampler just drives on or someone drives for you across the map or to a POI or Extract. With that said, when a fight does come your way it can be exhilarating, yet frustrating as hell at the same dam time. Further, Looting is riddled with bugs. One such bug is chests looking unopened yet being empty, or having to crouch to see the loot. It doesn't make sense how you don't fix looting mechanics already, it's such a basic aspect of this game. With all the negative things I have to say about this bug riddled, underdeveloped game, I will say that it is fun to play, when you get to play it properly. Also, it does have satisfying moments of making it out alive, (after looting a POI), without getting obliterated by a suped up team with every mid-to-late game upgrade you don't have. Finally, I will say, the game has a solid foundation with its mechanics and design, which I do like. I want to love this game, however, this game needs work and it needs frequent updates and patches. Wait to buy and just enjoy watching your favorite streamer play it better than you ever can and ever will. Thanks for listening to my rant. I feel better now. 2.7/5

14 on sale1 answered “not sold”0 we did not ask
The 1 “not sold” market is read from the Steam price pass of Aug 26: that day the store answered for this game elsewhere and gave no price there. The 14 priced markets are the same rows as the table above — each the latest price we hold, dated here when it is older than that pass. The 0 marked “not asked” were not put to this store at all — either it has no storefront there or we do not collect it yet, and neither is a statement about the game. A refusal is a refusal on one day; a store can list a title again tomorrow.

If you like to get getting fisted with no lube then this is the perfect game for you! Nothing is more fun then starting to play the game learning a few things and enjoying my time with my friends and then a maxed tech tree crawler comes out of the bush and outguns you every single time so the game is just a waste of time. Unbalanced, bugs, cheaters
The game is currently unplayable and i suggest waiting to buy it for a while. currently as a new player there is no way to survive or win. you get hunted down by max teir players and cheaters until you loose all your gear. they MUST implement some kind of trampler/teir based matchmaking to make it okay for newer players. im uninstalling and waiting a few months to play again until theyve fixed issues. im used to hard grindy games like tarkov or dayz where you can loose everything and i enjoy the challenge. rebuilding from nothing is fun. however there is no way to build or progress currently. i have not met a single friendly player. and even when my friends and i went WAAAYYYYYYY off map to loot and try and be safe. we were hunted down by what i can only assume was hackers. we were half a map distance or more off the map and someone just shows up in voyage mode? no. i know the devs said they are working on the cheaters soon, but they seem to have no plans for any ranked matchmaking. you cant run or outmaneuvere to get away from bigger tramplers, and they can have no smoke to get right up to you and are faster. the guides say run through the coral. but they still follow or trap you inside the coral with a bigger trampler. you may get away alittle inside but they still catch up after the coral. absolutely unplayable and the first game in my steam library i have to suggest people dont buy. i may change this with updates later but for now, save your money
Thank you for kicking me for suspicious activity and giving me a one hour ban for ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ nothing ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ game dont buy this goyslop
Another example of a great game completely ruined by cheaters to the point where is just not fun to play.
Гра як шкідлива звичка, азарт, швидкі емоції і не здорова привязаність. переповнена чітерами, багами які псують ігровий досвід та сливають тобі катки. Відсутність балансу. Але навіть це не так погано. Відсутність чіткої реєстрації вистрілів. Я як людина яка часто певепешиться на стрілецькій зброї просто плачу. значна кількість файтів програна саме через постріли які не реєструються. Гра бажає щоб ти або стріляв не зрозуміло з якою траекторією вперед або в місце де людина була кілька десятих секунди тому. Одним словом жах. Ну і звісно кудиж без синхронно-запускників(гравці які стартують матч одночасно щоб попасти в один матч) можливо тут ще якась механіка цього не знаю, але дістали люди які очевидно грають разом і ні це не ті що в процесі гри домовились грати в колабі, це люди які справді стартують разом. Також коли граєш соло матчі будь готовий що буде грати проти тебе 2 тіпа на ворожому трамплері. Ну знову ж таки це про "баланс". Загалом потрібно чекати роки 2-3 поки не появиться мінімальні стандарти які повинна мати онлайн гра. Не рекомендую на даному етапі. Через кілька років імовірно порекомендую бо вайб в гри прикольний якщо не концентруватись на тому що грати це з серйозним підходом не можливо)
le gameplay et l'ambiance du jeu sont très sympa et original mais malheureusement l'équilibrage et l'expérience détruit complétement toute envie de jouer et de continuer à jouer. Le principale problème vient du faire que qu'il y a un système de progression dans le jeu te permettant d'avoir de meilleur meca, plus résistant et blindé basé sur des tech du tier 1 a 4. Le problème c'est que les joueurs qui joue depuis le jour 1, ils ont full canon et méca améliorer et sortent full équipé, ont tout débloqué et sont full ressource donc quand il lance une game, c'est pas pour loot mais seulement pour faire du pvp. Et du coup tu peux commencer le jeu avoir un méca de base tier 1 avec canon gris, stuff gris, arme grise et au bout de 2 minute te faire rush par un mec full t4, full stuff qui te oneshoot. Du coup quand tu lance une game, tu peux jouer super bien, bien visé, tué plein de joueur mais si tu te fais outscale en canon, stuff et meca tu as presque 0 chance de gagner le fight. Du coup la strat c'est de jouer avec des meca avec presque rien et low cost, balancer des flares vert à tout le monde en mode friendly et prié pour qu'on te boloss pas. Ensuite il y a le fait que quand t'es en 1v2 méca a moins que tu soit surarmé/tech comparé aux deux méca tu as presque 0 chance de win, et les gens s'amuse à lancer des game solo à plusieurs en même temps pour se retrouver dans les mêmes parties, jouer à plusieurs méca et détruire tout le monde. Le jeu incite même à faire des alliance avec les flares, en mode tu lance une fusé verte et tu dis go jouer ensemble, le mec te revoit la flare et c'est bon maintenant on joue en team. Et vu que je vous ai dit que le 2v1 = 95% gagnant bah sa fait que si t'as pas d'allié tu es presque sur de jamais sortir vivant de la zone. Je parle même pas des gens qui craft des C4 avec full compo, qui sorte avec un petit méca shotgun, rush sur un gros méca, le mec t'aborde, te kill ta 10 sec de respawn, et le mec met full c4 en 10 sec sur ton moteur et boum t'es mort. Ou sinon pendant un fight un mec saute avec full c4 monte sur ton méca, et oneshoot ton méca sans que tu puisse le savoir car sa fait presque pas de bruit. Donc si tu spotte pas qu'un mec coure sur ton meca et monte dessus bah il peut juste détruire toutes les portes et oneshoot ton méca même s'il est gros car 1 C4 = un coup de canon, et le mec peut juste venir avec 15+ C4. Pas de possibilité de monter l'échelle pour empêcher de te faire abordé. Bref sans un matchmaking basé sur le tier et une politique anti alliance (c'est déjà assez chiant de se faire kill quand tu fight un 1v1 et qu'un mec débarque en plein fight pour récolté) ou sinon il garde le mode tarkov avec des wipe régulier pour permettre à tout le monde de repartir à zero mais sur tarkov la différence de stuff est pas si grande, un mec peut toujours te kill même en ayant une arme low cost. Bref il fallait jouer au jeu pendant beta/sortie, plus le temps passe, plus c'est difficile pour les nouveaux joueurs de survivre sur une game, actuellement je pense qu'on nouveau joueur peut arrivé à extract 3/10 game, d'ici 1-2 mois, il pourra peut être sortir vivant 1/20 game avec de la chance et avec des flares. car 80% des méca seront majoritairement T3-T4 avec canon vert/bleu+
I wanted to love this game, but being a non duper, late to the party, new player is absolutely brutal. Play voyage to loot for tech tree with only 4 people on the server--get rolled up on by a trampler with tier 4 armor (when you have basically a grumpy/starter) while looting and lose the fight to a glitch. Great. Bring out your big build. Get ganked by 2 solos with pristines teaming up in voyage. I can't get friends to grind this game or join me in it. Really hoping Sand turns it around--maybe the new player experience wouldn't be so bad if it wasn't filled with always kill on sight blood thirsty fiends. I've got a hundred hours in this and I feel hopelessly underpowered in every encounter--to have the few wins be taken away by glitches or exploits...yeah I'll wait for the end of early access.
This game is so fun and id love to be able to leave a positive review but i just cant. Between all the bugs and cheaters i lose my will to play. Ive had my trampler blown up in one shot by dudes with the lowest tier cannons, people teleport onto my trampler and one shot me over and over again leaving me unable to do anything but watch the last 30-60mins of my time go up in flames. On top of the cheaters ive had loot disappear into the sand never to be seen again. I can live with the loot glitches but i cant live with the cheaters.
