Assemble Your Plushie Team: Plush Rangers Is Free to Play During Steam Next Fest

(Auszug aus der Pressemitteilung)

Indie developer Short Leg Studio is showcasing Plush Rangers at Steam Next Fest, which starts today. The free demo can be downloaded from Steam and played throughout the festival, so press and creators can jump in without waiting for a key. The full game launches on Steam for Windows and macOS in January 2027.

Plush Rangers is a fast-paced survivors-like in which players put together a team of Plushie Friends and fight waves of wacky mutated enemies. Toasters have gone haywire and staplers are possessed, so the team strikes back with bowling balls, orange slices, and carrot grenades, taking down powerful bosses along the way.

Every plushie has its own abilities and behavior. Brocco is a defensive fighter who pushes nearby enemies away, while Tangelo is a charging berserker tortoise. Plushies level up to grow stronger and unlock new abilities. During a run, players can also stop by Button’s Shiny Crow shop to buy hats, clothing, and accessories that boost their stats, and complete challenges to earn powerful relics.

Full Game Features

• 12 characters, each customizable with specialized ranger gear
• More than 50 unique plushies whose abilities combine in different ways
• More than 150 merit badges that unlock new content, challenges and upgrades
• More than 75 relic artifacts that give bonuses during a run

Your Plushie Team Is Ready for Steam Next Fest

The free Plush Rangers demo is open to everyone on Steam from 19 to 26 October, with nothing to request and nothing to wait for. Pick your plushies, grab a bowling ball or a carrot grenade, and hold the line against the mutated office supplies for as long as you can. The full game arrives on Steam in January 2027. ​
