Young Horses, the studio behind Bugsnax and Octodad, celebrated its 13th anniversary this weekend. To celebrate, the studio has released a free beta on Steam for Bugsnax VR, and put a huge discount on the base game (along with Octodad).

Young Horses celebrated its anniversary with a post on social media. It features a graphic of Octodad holding Bunger and Strabby. Those interested in playing Bugsnax in VR can try it out for free with the new beta. Young Horses shared a blog post instructing users how to access the beta.

To celebrate our 13th birthday, you can access Bugsnax on SteamVR in beta FOR FREE, RIGHT NOW.
