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

Is Sumo Steam Deck compatible?

Mostly. Valve rates Sumo 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 Sumo on Mac?

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

Is Sumo on PC Game Pass?

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

About Sumo

✦ AI summary

Sumo is a multiplayer physics-based party game where you battle up to 3 opponents as spheres, using special abilities and environmental hazards to knock everyone else off collapsing arenas until only one remains standing. With fast-paced dashing and jumping mechanics, dynamic arenas that crumble beneath your feet, and Sudden Death tiebreakers, it's chaotic couch combat where your wits and reflexes matter as much as pure luck.

Sumo is a multiplayer physics-based party game for up to 4 players, where players use their wits, special abilities, and spherical physique to wrestle your human or AI opponents over the edge of irrationally hazardous Arenas. You have only one objective - Be the last sphere standing.

Sumo was originally a small-priced product and was a learning project for our team. It did not have commercial interest, and we ceased development on it in 2019. Since it isn't commercially viable, I decided to make the game free for everyone - I'd rather it be a possible bit of entertainment for some if possible!

If you do enjoy, please consider checking out our current title, which has been published and successful and will continue to be our primary development focus in the future.

Fast-Paced Action

Each of Sumo's spherical combatants is deceptively maneuverable -- dashing and jumping to juke attacks and hazards alike. Do your best to snap up Boost Orbs to power up your devastating ability, before your round rivals do.

Unique Arenas

Each Arena in Sumo offers creative ways to send your opponents careening off the edge. But beware, all Arenas continuously collapse, leaving only one player victorious. In Sumo, look forward to unceremonious ring-out by such things as:

Pressurized pipe-blasts of the WaterWorks!

Incoming meteors in Sumo in Space!

Runaway trains in Railway Rumble!

... but be sure to knock your friends into all of them!

Multiplayer Mayhem

The longer you survive, the more points you get! The first to reach the point goal wins. In Sumo, ties cannot be tolerated, and are settled with the white-knuckle, rapid-fire Sudden Death round!

[quote][b]Note: Dead PvP game[/b] This game contains no meaningful single player content. There's no viably populated servers/active player population. This game cannot be played as intended.[/quote] This was an attempt at making a multiplayer physics-based party game where you control silly spherical characters with "unique abilities", but basically they didn't make much of a difference. Gameplay takes place over various "unusual" arenas like train tracks or floating platforms, but the objective is the same, push your opponents out of the ring. This was made as a demo/proof of concept project for an emerging (and failed) game development team, more than a serious game intended to succeed on Steam. This is a dead PvP game. Why did "Sumo" fail? Time for a video game autopsy. [i]The vast majority of PvP focused games on Steam are failures.[/i] Most fail because developers assume just because the game project code completes a successful build, the game will instantly and magically "go viral" just for existing. There's nothing in this to appeal to gamers that hundreds of other PvP games are already doing better. The market for PvP games is crowded and the player base is limite…

Игра "Sumo" — увлекательный симулятор борьбы с простым и интуитивным управлением. Геймплей сосредоточен на стратегии: нужно толкнуть противника за линию, используя вес и баланс. Графика яркая, анимация динамичная, звуки добавляют атмосферы. Подходит для всех возрастов, идеально для быстрой игры в компании. Повторяемость высока благодаря разнообразным режимам и возможностям настройки. Минус — отсутствие глубокого сюжета, но для легкой развлекательной игры это несущественно. Рекомендую!

Games like Dying Light, where nightfall changes the rules

Games like Dying Light are easy to find if you only want parkour or only want zombies. These eight keep the part that matters: a city that becomes a different place after dark.

Games like Portal 2, where one idea carries the whole game

Games like Portal 2 all share one habit: teach a single impossible trick, then spend a campaign breaking it. From rewinding objects through time to Escher geometry that loops back on itself.

Planet Coaster DLC: skip the collection, buy the packs

The Planet Coaster DLC catalogue closed in 2019, so there is no curve left to wait out. Our record shows the collection bundle costs far more than assembling the same packs one by one.

Toxic Commando Game Pass: subscribe, or buy the key?

The Toxic Commando Game Pass add landed on 12 November. Our price record since late September shows the key route barely moved, which changes what a subscription is worth.

Games like Titanfall 2, for the pilot or for the Titan

Titanfall 2's campaign changed its own rules every mission. Games like Titanfall 2 that keep one part of it — the wall-running, the mech, or a campaign that never settles.

Games like It Takes Two, where the second player is the point

It Takes Two cannot be played alone, and that is the whole design. Games like It Takes Two that give each player a different job — including one that makes do with a single pair of hands.
