Hey everyone.

Ahead of the launch of Still Wakes the Deep: Siren’s Rest, we wanted to make these short FAQs to help you prepare for your dive into the wreckage of the Beira D.

Q) When is Still Wakes the Deep: Siren’s Rest releasing, and on what platforms?

A) Still Wakes the Deep: Siren’s Rest launches Wednesday 18th June at 10am BST/ 5am EST/ 2am PT on Steam, Epic Games Store, Xbox via PC and Series X|S, and PlayStation 5.

Q) How much will Still Wakes the Deep: Siren’s Rest cost?

A) Still Wakes the Deep: Siren’s Rest will cost £9.99/$12.99/€12.99 and will have a 15% discount on Steam for the first two weeks. You can pre-purchase Still Wakes the Deep: Siren’s Rest ahead of launch with the same discount. A bundle featuring Still Wakes the Deep and Still Wakes the Deep: Siren’s Rest can also be purchased for further savings.

Q) What is the premise or story of the Siren’s Rest expansion?

A) 1986. The Beira D is now a groaning steel catacomb interred in the inky depths of the North Sea. What really happened that December day in 1975, when communications to the mainland were severed and the rig sank without a trace? What answers can be given to families who still grieve, ten years on? 

You are Mhairi. And you will find those answers. As the leader of a saturation dive to the wreck of the Beira D, you descend, a fragile light in the crushing dark. Your mission: uncover the fate of the crew and recover what remains of their passing.

Q) Will I need to have purchased Still Wakes the Deep to play the Siren’s Rest expansion?

A) Yes, you will need to have purchased Still Wakes the Deep to be able to buy Still Wakes the Deep: Siren’s Rest. You do not need to have played through Still Wakes the Deep, however we highly recommend doing so, as the events of Still Wakes the Deep: Siren’s Rest take place a decade after the end of Still Wakes the Deep.

Q) Can I play Still Wakes the Deep: Siren's Rest on Steam Deck?

A) Still Wakes the Deep: Siren's Rest is playable on Steam Deck via the usual operating system (OS). For Steam Deck players who opt to use Desktop Mode, use the 'launch options' and type 'gamescope -W 1280 -H 800 -f -- %command%' into the text box provided.

To access the launch options, click on the settings cog on the Still Wakes the Deep: Siren's Rest Page, go to Properties, and scroll to the bottom to find the text box.

Q) Is Still Wakes the Deep: Siren’s Rest coming to Xbox Game Pass?

A) No. However, Still Wakes the Deep is on Game Pass, so you will only need to buy Still Wakes the Deep: Siren’s Rest if you have Still Wakes the Deep installed.
