Kickstarter’s live! Pledge now to lock in rewards before they’re gone: https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/postal2redux/postal-2-redux

20+ years. Endless fan requests. Now POSTAL 2 Redux is happening and YOU can help shape it.

Hello, POSTAL fans!

You wouldn’t stop asking, so we stopped dodging Molotovs and wrote it all down. POSTAL 2 Redux is real, a love letter to the original, upgraded with all the power of today’s tech and yes—your unhinged demands absolutely helped make this mess happen. Below is the full FAQ: what Redux actually is, why we’re doing it this way, how VR fits, exactly when you’ll be “hosing down” Paradise in higher fidelity, and what fresh hell unlocks when our pre‑launch follower numbers spike.

Before you scroll: hit “Notify me” on the Kickstarter, wishlist on Steam, and pile into Discord. Every new warm body pushes us closer to stretch goals that should probably be illegal.

The Kickstarter Pre-launch is now live. Give it a follow in order to unlock new rewards. We are closing in to our first goal, giving Mike J some new moves and an updated look, but we'll need your support to get Steamworks Support and a super-fun pigeon mission into the game. More details below.

Spread the word about POSTAL 2 Redux before the Kickstarter campaign opens in order to unlock exclusive rewards!

It's said there are two certainties in life. One is taxes and the other is that Mike J will bust a move when you piss on him. No Redux of POSTAL 2 would be complete without teaching him some new moves. And what better way to show them off but with hair and a beard the latest graphical technology 2025 has to offer. Get it all wet!

2003 Trenchcoat-chique is always in fashion. But sometimes the dude wants to kick back in his favourite dressing gown. Unlockable POSTAL 4 outfit is yours for the mere price of following the campaign.

We often hear "you suck, I could do better". After we've given Mom her sleeping pills we have to admit she had a point. Hitting this goal adds Steamworks support into Redux. Dream my beautiful modders!

The Pigeons Will Pay.  You asked. You begged. Many a shrine made of bird bones was pissed on. Now we're finally bringing the Super-Fun Pigeon Hunter Mission to life for real this time. Vince screamed at the accountants, so we got new accountants. Deaf accountants. Nothing can stop this happening other than not hitting this follower goal.

POSTAL 2 Redux is being made (Team Beef) and published (Impact Inked) externally, so it has no effect on Running With Scissors’ internal projects. 

We started this journey because we’re fans. Hardcore POSTAL fans. POSTAL 2 has a place in our hearts (and hard drives), and we believe it deserves a place on every modern console too. This isn’t simply a port to modern consoles. It’s preservation with purpose. We're keeping everything you love intact. Wherever we enhance or improve, we do so with the original in mind. With Running With Scissors by our side, one thing’s certain: it’s still POSTAL. It’s still the Dude.

We’re aiming for as many languages as possible. There are some wrinkles to iron out with older dubs, and possibilities for new ones—more news to follow.

We’re aware of issues in Germany, New Zealand, and a few other regions. We have plans to give Redux the best chance everywhere, but final approval rests with regional authorities. We cannot guarantee that POSTAL 2 VR and POSTAL 2 Redux will ultimately be available everywhere, but we can guarantee that we will fight to give players worldwide access to the game.

Potential stretch-goal territory, but doesn’t feel like POSTAL if you can’t cross streams with your friends. 

Redux moves the game into Unity. We start with original assets and logic, then upgrade, replace, and add brand-new content that’s not present in the original game. Fear not. It’s still POSTAL 2… just Reduxed. 

Rick Hunter may have some new lines.

Targeting 2026. Exact timing depends on development and stretch-goal scope.

If we don’t have to change it, we won’t. Platform holders may request tweaks, but PC will remain uncensored. We’re confident we can reach every major storefront with minimal edits.

Our aim is to provide POSTAL 2 Redux on every possible platform. For more details, follow the Kickstarter! ;)

To clarify, this Kickstarter funds a single product: POSTAL 2 Redux. However, both Redux and the VR version will share a common core, meaning improvements will benefit both flat-screen and VR simultaneously. If you're only interested in the VR version, note that any stretch goals achieved through this campaign will also apply to it. That said, unlike POSTAL 2 Redux, the release of POSTAL 2 VR is not contingent on the success of this Kickstarter.

Building them in tandem leads to smarter development: shared gameplay improvements, more efficient and wider testing, and better polish across the board.  We're also looking into the most cost-effective way for backers to own both, if they choose to. We’ll share more information as we get closer to launch.

No.

Unity is the ideal engine for a multi-platform remaster because it offers powerful cross-platform support, letting us target PC, consoles, and even mobile from a single code-base. Its customizable art pipelines and shader systems allow us to faithfully recreate the original game’s look or enhance it with modern touches, while giving artists direct control over visual fidelity. With flexible tooling, fast iteration, and support for both legacy-style visuals and modern rendering features, Unity strikes the perfect balance between preservation and progress.

Click “Follow” on the Kickstarter pre-launch page to get every update the moment it drops this summer.

This will scale with Kickstarter performance and stretch goals. Stay tuned.

If history is any indicator, nothing can stop Mike J from busting a move whilst taking a golden shower! Maybe he’s learned some new moves. Only time will tell. 

We love modding. Some members of the development teams started their professional careers as modders (as did RWS staff). More information will be shared soon, but stretch goals could bring official mod support to both PC and consoles!

POSTAL 2 Redux is a huge joint effort between Running With Scissors, Team Beef, and Impact Inked, so owning a copy of the original game does not get you a free copy. We’re pouring every ounce of love (and bodily fluid) we have into POSTAL 2 Redux to make sure it's as beloved as the original and worth every penny.

Running With Scissors proudly announces the ultimate remake for PC & Consoles (NOTE: POSTAL 2 REDUX and the recently announced POSTAL 2 VR are separate games)

Honored and humbled by the greatest fans in gaming, Running With Scissors, with our publisher Flat2VR Studios and co-developer Team Beef, are shooting our ultimate load to bring you “POSTAL 2 REDUX” on PC and for the very first time on consoles. A ground‑up overhaul of the infamous open world shooter, POSTAL 2 REDUX will hoist every original asset out of the creaking Unreal 1.5 engine and slam it into today’s Unity—delivering the same familiar week in the POSTAL Dude’s life with a merciless glow‑up and a bucket of new toys.

Since the original release in 2003, the infamous POSTAL 2 has led the way in creating the legacy and culture of the POSTAL universe and community. “We’re committed to creating the ultimate POSTAL experience. For many years, the #1 request from fans around the world has been to remake POSTAL 2 and that’s what we’re friggin gonna do.” said Vince Desi, the mad hatter founder of RWS.

Working fist in hand with Flat2VR and Team Beef, this Kickstarter is the cherry breaking moment in the history of the most blacklisted, criticized, condemned, and loved game brand in history. POSTAL 2 REDUX will deliver the POSTAL Dude and Champ in all their glorious and wonderful insanity with enhanced visuals, new weapons, nastier physics, and endless Easter eggs.


Why POSTAL 2 REDUX Isn’t Just a Coat of Paint

• High-Res Textures & Dynamic Lighting – Paradise’s warped billboards and puddles of fine fluids get the razor-sharp grime they deserve.

• Zero Load Streaming World – Sprint from one end of town to the other without a single elevator, door pause, or immersion breaker.

• Smarter, Freer Crowds – Civilians still snitch, cops still overreact, but improved pathfinding means riots spark faster and messier than ever.

• Reforged Arsenal – Weighty ballistics, ragdoll dismemberment, and rounds that punch clean through unlucky bystanders.

• Fully Propped, Breakable Interiors – Stores, arcades, and alleyways are stuffed with physics-enabled junk begging to be destroyed.

• Champ 2.0 – Pet him, sic him, or let him photobomb your next headshot; unleashed Paradise’s goodest boy will enjoy every inch of turf.

Paradise itself will breathe lighting shifts over the course of each in-game day—from sun-scorched afternoons to lamp-lit alleys come evening—and every junk-strewn corner bristles with physics-enabled debris begging to be destroyed. Every classic instrument of overkill is being rebuilt from the trigger up—plus a few fresh calibers Paradise PD hasn’t outlawed yet. Word on the street is the POSTAL Dude’s… attachments might be in line for an upgrade too—because tasteful restraint is for other franchises.

“Flat2VR is on fire partnering with RWS. Our goal is simple, make POSTAL 2 REDUX the best damn game it deserves to be.” said Eric Masher, COO of Flat2VR.” Platform Hit List

POSTAL 2 REDUX is gunning for every modern box that’ll boot: Windows PC, MacOS, and Linux rigs; PlayStation 4 and PlayStation 5; Xbox Series X|S; and even Nintendo Switch devices—so you can raise hell on the D Bus. Final platform lineup will depend on each storefront’s paperwork (and how many stretch goals are achieved), but the plan is wall-to-wall manic fun wherever you play.

Kickstarter Blood Drive Launches This Summer

The prelaunch page is open now; hit Follow and you’ll get spammed the moment the campaign goes live. Backers may unlock exclusive game keys, limited collector editions, or even snag a chance to become immortalized as a fully autonomous character in Paradise. (Hell, just imagine how many players might piss on you, if that’s what you’re into.

“POSTAL 2 has outlasted many of its peers. It’s still rocking a 96% user score on Steam, and fans have been begging for a console edition since the dawn of time,” said Mike Jaret-Schachter, Chief Bidet Officer at RWS.

What To Do Next

Mark your calendars and clear your schedules—June 12, 2025 is when we fire the starting pistol: POSTAL 2 REDUX revealed, Kickstarter pre-launch activated—time to gear up.

The Magic Pixel Team

We are big fans of the Steam Deck here at RWS, and we are actively working to ensure all of our games provide a great experience on the platform. We are proud to announce that, after some back and forth with Valve's diligent verification team, we have ironed out all the kinks, and POSTAL 2 is now fully Deck verified via its native Linux client!

We took things a step further as well. When playing on the Deck, the button prompts now display the correctly styled Steam Deck glyphs instead of the Xbox controller ones, and we have created a custom "how to play" screen.



Please note that, as of now, there is no cross-cloud save feature between the native Linux and Windows versions. While Valve does not require this for awarding a verified tick, they strongly encourage it, and we are committed to implementing this feature in a future update.

Hope those of you with a Deck enjoy these updates and don't forget to leave P2 a review if you have not already!

🎉 Happy 20th Anniversary POSTAL 2! 🎉

We're stoked to announce our celebratory update, which brings the widely loved community mod 'xPatch' into the official fold, as well as other improvements! This update is jam-packed with exciting new features, enhancements, and bug fixes that will elevate your POSTAL 2 experience to a whole new level.

Some of the standout additions include improved Steam Deck compatibility, the Two Weeks In Paradise game mode (Paradise Lost), a reworked New Game menu, and a new "Ludicrous" difficulty. Plus, we've added the Flipping the Bird feature from Paradise Lost into the base P2, expanded Crosshair Customization, and introduced the super-fun Cat Launcher as a cheat-only weapon!

We've also made some significant changes to the game, such as restoring the original number of particles for blood effects, improving Muzzle Flash Effects, and adding new weapon options like Cat Silencers now being usable on more weapons, and dual-wielding Sawn-Off Shotguns. During the apocalypse, bystanders will now use more weapons too, making for a more thrilling and chaotic experience!

Furthermore, those who want to enjoy POSTAL 2 as it was in 2003 can now play 'Classic' mode, which presents the game closer to how it was at launch, before all the modern updates (while still retaining various modern quality of life improvements such as widescreen support). You can even cherry-pick which aspects of the game you'd like to see as either original or updated, how cool is that?

And that's just the tip of the iceberg! We've squashed numerous bugs and crashes, ensuring a smoother gaming experience for everyone.

So gear up, grab your weapons, and let the mayhem begin as we celebrate 20 years of POSTAL 2! 🥳

Note: This update will reset user configurations such as button layouts and video settings. We apologize for any inconvenience this may cause.
