Questions
What is GONE Fishing?
A 1–8 player co-op survival horror fishing game by GONE Studios on Windows Steam. 1.0 released 20 October 2026.
How many players?
1 to 8, solo or in public and private lobbies.
Is it on PS5, Xbox, or Switch?
No listing as of 23 October 2026. Steam’s supported system is Windows.
Is it on Mac?
No macOS depot is listed.
Is there a phone version?
Not of this game. GONE Fishing: Aquarium is a different app.
How much does it cost?
US snapshot $6.69, 33 percent off $9.99, on 23 October 2026. Check Steam.
Is there cross-play?
Not documented. There is no console version to cross-play with.
Is there a demo?
Yes. Free Steam app 3708980, the first map, released 10 May 2025.
Does the demo save carry over?
Not documented. Do not assume it does.
What is the best bait?
None. The FAQ says worm or frog for small fish and bait value 60+ for large ones. Sleeping Troll Ragdoll scores 86.
Can I revive a friend with a heart?
Not in Jeremy Wade difficulty: its 22 October 2026 patch removed sacrificing hearts for resurrection. That section does not establish the rule for every other mode; check the current mode and patch notes.
Why is my microphone muted?
Voice starts muted. Press V and pick the device in options.
How do I get MOBY?
Defeat the Lake Entity. MOBY is a rod, not a fish.
How many achievements?
53 on the Steam global API, 23 October 2026.
Is there a Workshop?
No. Trainers conflict with the anti-cheat rules.
Why is CPU so high?
Community reports point at host-side fish and bait math. Update, then compare a solo session with a hosted one.
Is MOBY a whale to catch?
No. MOBY is a rod unlocked after defeating the Lake Entity. Rhizo is the Lake mythical associated with that rod.
Is Orca in the Swamp?
No. The official species data records Orca in Arctic.
Do maps unlock in a fixed order?
The sources describe map selection when creating a room, not a Lake-to-Arctic progression ladder.
Is Steam Deck supported?
Steam lists Playable, not Verified. Read its current compatibility notes; this guide has not playtested the Deck.
Is the 6 GB requirement the download size?
No. Steam lists 6 GB available storage. That is not a measured compressed download size.
How long is the demo?
No reliable fixed completion time is documented. It includes the first map; do not assume a 30-minute timer.
Are the species bait lists guaranteed recipes?
No. They record successful catches in a dated API snapshot, not guaranteed outcomes or exclusive bait requirements.
Are these guides based on your own playtest?
No. These are source-based guides with AI assistance, not logged hands-on tests. Screenshots are credited Steam store material.
