Firewatch Launch Wallpaper

When we redid the Firewatch website to prepare for the game’s launch, Olly painted a great new piece of art as the centerpiece of the design. 

Naturally you’d expect a desktop wallpaper to come out of it, but did you expect three? No you did not, but here they are:

Sunset Yellow

21:9 Desktop (3440x1400 - Also great for mobile devices with multi-screen parallax backgrounds)

16:10 Desktop (2560x1600, 1920x1200, etc)

16:9 Desktop (2560x1440, 1920x1080, etc)

5:4 Desktop (1600x1280, 1280x1024, etc)

Tablet ( 2524x2524 - Formatted for iPad parallax backgrounds)

iPhone 5 and newer (744x1392 - Formatted for iOS parallax)

If your specific device or desktop resolution isn’t covered here, just pick the next bigger size; it should scale down nicely.

Firewatch comes out tomorrow on Steam (Windows, Mac, Linux) and the PlayStation Store (PlayStation 4) for $19.99! Learn more about the launch at firewatchgame.com.

Firewatch is out NOW on Steam and PlayStation 4! (The PS4 game is up on the PlayStation Americas store; we’re still waiting to hear back from PlayStation Europe/Australia.)

Furthermore, you can get the game bundled with its soundtrack on Steam or with a gorgeous Firewatch Dynamic Theme on PS4. (To find the bundle on PSN, search for Firewatch, FYI!)

The soundtrack is also available separately on our Bandcamp page. (It may come to other music stores later, but we don’t know our plans for that yet.)

Also, like this news isn’t enough, the game is 10% off at launch on Steam (until Friday, February 12th) and 10% off for PS Plus members (until Tuesday, February 16). Get on it!

We can’t wait to hear about your adventure!

Firewatch was released this week! We’ve been floored by the response.

Here are a few very nice things people have written:

Eurogamer: “Henry is a very considered piece of work, in other words, carefully arranged to elicit a measured degree of pity, fear and even quiet empathy as and when the internal clockwork of the game demands it.”

Rock, Paper, Shotgun: “Firewatch is a rare and beautiful creation, that expands the possibilities for how a narrative game can be presented, without bombast or gimmick.”

Polygon: “Firewatch is the video game equivalent of a page-turner.”

Wired: “An emotional gut-punch all the way through, for many reasons, and largely a pleasure to explore and find yourself lost in…”

VentureBeat: “Firewatch is special and rare.”

And here are a few very nice things people have said into microphones:

Giant Bomb: Austin Walker sat down to talk with Sean and Rich Sommer (voice of Henry).

Quality Control: Justin McElroy and Colin Campbell review the Firewatch reviews.

Shall We Play a Game: Chris Suellentrop and J.J. Sutherland share their reactions to Firewatch. 

And finally, here are some things we have said with other people into video cameras:

IGN: Chris, Jake, Jane, and Sean talk with Mitch Dyer and Marty Silva about making the game (spoilers abound).

Giant Bomb: Chris and Jake visit Giant Bomb to finally answer “What is Firewatch?”

We’ve been utterly overwhelmed and gratified by all the support and positive comments. It feels great to finally have this thing out there after more than two years of work. Thank you to everyone who has played the game!
