![]() Postal 2's 20th Anniversary Update is live now. For those who like to get really granular with their Postal experiences, it's also possible to make individual original-or-updated selections. And it's not just a handful of minor fixes and tweaks: This is a significant reworking of the game that incorporates the fan-made xPatch (opens in new tab), improves Steam Deck compatibility (for the record, Postal 2 is rated as "playable" on Steam Deck), adds the Paradise Lost expansion as a new game mode, "Ludicrous" difficulty, and something called the Cat Launcher "as a cheat-only weapon."įor those who prefer the unsullied purity of the original Postal 2 experience, a "classic mode" option will make the game playable "closer to how it was at launch," minus the "modern updates" but with quality-of-life improvements like widescreen support still in place. That may in part be why, 20 years after Postal 2 first came out, developer Running With Scissors has released a new update creatively entitled the 20th Anniversary Update. Still, that's a lot of people who own Postal 2, and according to Steam Charts (opens in new tab) it's put up better player numbers over the past 12 months than Marvel's Avengers (opens in new tab). Irony is obviously a factor in that, with user reviews like "better than Cyberpunk" and "you can piss on people," which is doable when a game is regularly available for $1 (and sometimes free), as is the case here. The situation is somehow clearer yet more confusing on Steam (opens in new tab), where Postal 2 has amassed an "overwhelmingly positive" rating across more than 71,000 user reviews.
