On 11 November Black Forest Games, the studio behind the Destroy All Humans! remakes, announced it is leaving THQ Nordic and the Embracer group through a management buyout. It had been part of THQ Nordic for almost ten years, after being bought nine years ago. The studio is based in Offenburg, Germany, and was founded fourteen years ago.
It becomes a founding member and co-owner of Third Signal, a new independent group of studios led by Andreas Tobler, and will keep working with THQ Nordic on some development tasks. Its next project hasn't been announced. Nobody has said who keeps the Destroy All Humans! licence either, and there's no announced change to the games already on sale.
The studio's games and what they cost today
Black Forest Games made the remake of the original, released on 28 July six years ago, Destroy All Humans! 2 – Reprobed, out on 30 August four years ago, and the multiplayer spin-off Clone Carnage, which was given away on Steam at the time. Here's the cheapest offer we found this morning for each version:
| Game | Platform | Steam price | Cheapest today |

Start with the first game
Reprobed picks up Crypto's story where the remake leaves it, and the first game also has the better reviews: Very Positive on Steam, 92% of 9,089 user reviews, against 79% of 2,308 (Mostly Positive) for the sequel. The Destroy All Humans! Steam key costs €4.04 with fees, while Steam asks €29.99. It usually sits around €3.75 (median, before fees), and the lowest we've recorded is €2.27 before fees, at the end of September.
PC or console
On PC you get both games for under €9 with fees; at full price on Steam they add up to €69.98. Consoles are another story. On PS4 the only digital copy of the first game we track is €39.99 on the PlayStation Store, so the physical disc from Amazon is the better buy. On Xbox One the cheapest key is still €32.68 with fees, not far off Microsoft Store's €39.99. We only list Reprobed on PS5 and Xbox Series, and there it's cheap: €9.99 on the PlayStation Store itself.
The Switch version only shows up as accounts. An account means logging into someone else's account, so the game is never yours. We don't have the eShop price; if you want it on your own Nintendo account, buy it there.
Reprobed on PC: which format and edition
The Destroy All Humans! 2 – Reprobed Steam Key is €3.91 (€4.80 with fees) at Gamivo with GCDKGamivo, a bit under its €4.42 median before fees. Difmark sells a Steam Account at €2.65 (€2.77 with fees) with the coupon Gocdkeys. For two euros more we'd take the key, which you actually own. The Dressed to Skill Edition is €54.99 on Steam.
Both keys are already below what they usually cost. If you'd still rather wait, set a price alert and we'll email you when the first game drops.
