On one hand, it seems incredible that GeoGuessr is making its way to Steam, yet on the other, it feels so fitting that it’s surprising this didn’t happen sooner. The beloved game is transforming into a competitive multiplayer experience on the platform.
For those who may not have encountered the viral sensation where participants guess their locations from a blurry pixel of grass or a fleeting street view, let us break it down for you. GeoGuessr is an engaging browser game that takes advantage of Google Street View information, challenging you to pinpoint where the image is from worldwide. The closer your guess is to the actual location, the better your score. It’s a great pastime for parties or even during tedious meetings. Now, it’s evolving into something even more captivating.
This April, GeoGuessr Steam Edition will be unveiled, allowing players to battle each other in duels to climb the leaderboard. Participants will earn points, and the loser’s points will deduct from the winner’s total. It’s akin to a geographical version of Pokemon battles!
The thrilling aspect is that both competitors will attempt to guess the same location, offering a chance to get an edge if the location happens to be familiar. Everyone will start in the Amateur Division, but through solo duels, you can rise to the Champion Division. Since it’s launching in early access, there could be new features added, such as duos and casual matches. Could we even see esports events?
