Yes — Hotfix is free to play, so you can install and play it without buying anything.

Is Hotfix Steam Deck compatible?

Mostly. Valve rates Hotfix Playable on Steam Deck: it runs, but may need some manual tweaking — a community controller layout, or zooming in on small text.

Can I play Hotfix on Mac?

Not natively — Steam lists no macOS version of Hotfix. Mac players would need a cloud gaming service or a Windows compatibility layer.

Is Hotfix multiplayer?

No — Steam lists Hotfix as single-player only.

Is Hotfix on PC Game Pass?

No — Hotfix is not on PC Game Pass right now.

About Hotfix

Hotfix is a chromosome enriched solo indie game inspired by Minecraft and Enter the Gungeon. Create your own - near infinite - world full of randomly generated structures filled with guns and loot. Explore, build, and gather resources during the day and avoid robotic "dogs" powering up at night.

Procedurally generated world using a seed, with different biomes ranging from deserts to snowy tundras, randomly generated settlements, enemy hideouts, deadly robotic dogs scattered everywhere, and other structures
Top-down shooter mechanics to combat enemies and tear down the world using all kinds of weapons - from pistols to chromosome launchers
Lots of craftable building structures - floors, walls, windows, lights, furniture - that you can use to build your own base and reshape the world to your liking
Character customization including a variety of hair, a color wheel for your skin and hair color, and different clothes to find in-game
Farming mechanics allowing you to plant crops, bushes, and breed animals using the semen blaster
Caves full of ores, materials, and poop that you can gather and trade with merchants
Three different game modes: survival - the default game experience, creative - enabling you to build and experiment in peace, and hardcore - a permadeath mode
...and more!

Because this is a solo indie game, I can keep adding new content and support the game for years to come, purely out of passion. Here's what you can expect in the future:

More of the type of content existing in game (items, creatures, weapons, structures etc.)
Polishing of existing content
Automation and electricity
Dungeons
Settlement building
Modding support
Vehicles
Accessories with special abilities and armor
Bosses
Improved progression
Performance updates
...and more!

Sorry, this game needs a performance improvement, and a small tutorial or guide would be great because some "basic" mechanics are not clear enough.

Игра 'Hotfix' - это захватывающая головоломка, которая заставляет игроков мыслить логически и быстро. Игровой процесс прост в освоении, но сложен в совершенстве. Нужно быстро и эффективно чинить различные устройства, пока они не взорвались, и при этом умудряться не запутаться в проводах и инструментах. Визуальный стиль игры минималистичен, но при этом приятен глазу. Звуковое сопровождение создает напряженную атмосферу, которая идеально подходит для игрового процесса. Уровни становятся все более сложными по мере прохождения, предлагая игрокам новые испытания и задачи. Особенно мне понравилась система прогрессии, которая позволяет открывать новые инструменты и улучшения, делающие ремонт более эффективным. Это добавляет глубины игровому процессу и мотивации для прохождения все больше уровней. Однако, иногда игра может показаться слишком сложной, особенно на поздних этапах, что может немного расстраивать. Тем не менее, 'Hotfix' - это отличная игра для тех, кто любит головоломки и хочет испытать свои навыки решения проблем под давлением. Рекомендую!
