Is there anyway i can buy Prey 2006?

[Citizen Cook]

Can’t find a listing on Steam store page and don’t want to go to shady grey market sellers.

PlayAsia would have a key for the game, but be aware that the gameplay is completely different. This is more legal than trying to download it from some shady site.

The game was delisted years ago,, when the cd keys literally ran out during a sale.
It was why 2K replaced it with BioShock for the remainder of the sale.

Different from this Prey. They do not share a universe, and are by completely different teams.

Prey 2006 is a straight up shooter, unlike Prey 2017 being open world.
As it plays like Doom 3, it has different mechanics from the game. Even the gameplay is different.
A demo exists of Prey 2006.

Arkane was doing their own game, before the Prey name was attached to it,
Human Head developed Prey and was working on its sequel, but it was canned. In a bit of irony, they ended up becoming a Bethesda studio named Roundhouse.

As Bethesda published their own Prey, they have no reason to do anything with the older title, despite those publishing rights belonging to 2K.

Oh right. I see. I thought you were suggesting that there was two different versions of 2006 Prey.
I now own both the 2006 and the 2017 version. I much prefer the original, personally.

If you thought Prey 2006 was cool, you'll LOVE Brink, Fort Courage, Defiance, Minimum, Lost Within, Dungeon Defenders II, the Quiet Man, Survived By, and RUNE 2 by the same studio, all equally original and awesome.

I have never heard of any of those games😯

Up to 2019, they were solely independent.
After Human Head Studio was closed down, the team started a new one as Roundhouse Studio, owned by Bethesda.

Another game that another developer was working on, but later cancelled.

They are different games. I own the original Prey on Xbox and the newer version on both Xbox and steam.
