Hold Your King Launches on Steam with 20% Discount

Developed by independent game studio Next Big Game Studio and published by Joygame Select and UGC90, the physics-based co-op party game Hold Your King has officially arrived on Steam today with a special 20% launch discount. Inviting groups of friends into a laughter-filled chaos full of clumsy disasters, the game is waiting at an attractive launch price for players brave enough to carry the grumpiest royal family of the medieval age on their shoulders.


Two Players Carry the King, the Other Two Carry the Queen!

With its fully physics-based mechanics, Hold Your King is a game that tests both your coordination with friends and your patience. Your main task actually sounds very simple: keep a grumpy King balanced on a stretcher and carry him to the end of trap-filled courses. But once the laws of physics get involved, everything changes. Every step you take, your turning angle, and your speed directly affect the balance of the stretcher, so you constantly have to stay alert. And if you think the King is just leaning back there and sleeping peacefully while you try to survive the chaos, think again; because every time you disturb his beauty sleep, you move one step closer to facing the King’s legendary rage.

The real fun and chaos of the game multiplies with the number of players. When playing with 2 players, you are only trying to carry the King and survive. But when you gather the full team and step in with 4 players, everything changes completely; because this time, the Queen joins the action as well. Two players carry the King, while the other two carry the Queen. Two separate stretchers, two separate teams, and one shared goal: reach the finish line without crashing into each other, getting hit by arrows, or dropping the royal family to the ground. But choose your teammates wisely, because in this game, the one who makes the mistake is never the only one who pays for it.

One Person’s Mistake Means Everyone’s End
In Hold Your King, even the smallest timing mistake, one friend stepping too early, or a brief moment of panic is enough to make the entire team face a hilarious disaster. With last-second saves, friends yelling at each other in voice chat, and the natural comedy unfolding on screen, the game offers a truly entertaining spectacle not only for those playing, but also for those watching. Offering excellent material for streamers and content creators, the game is a strong candidate to become the new favorite of players who love party games and taking on challenges with friends.

If you want to escape the wrath of the King and Queen and see how compatible (or incompatible) you really are with your friends, Hold Your King is waiting for you on Steam starting today with a 20% discounted launch price valid for two weeks. Grab the stretchers, because this kingdom can only stand through teamwork!
