Steam users have spotted the controversial early-access title The Day Before in the "Coming Soon" section of the Steam store, raising questions as to why the game is being advertised. The infamously short-lived survival extraction shooter has not been available for purchase on the store since December 11, 2023, when The Day Before was pulled from Steam's marketplace just four days post-launch.
The Day Before had its fair share of skeptics well before its swift demise, with questions surrounding developer Fntastic's credibility surfacing as early as the game's announcement in January 2021. Leading up to its launch in early access, Fntastic and The Day Before suffered multiple delays, accusations of unpaid labor, and an alleged trademark dispute that saw the title briefly pulled from Steam. When Fntastic's game finally released on December 7, 2023, it didn't take long before skeptics were vindicated, as Steam began processing refunds for anyone who purchased The Day Before and pulled the game from its storefront less than a week later.
One of the most widely panned games in recent memory, The Day Before, somehow still has a single active user running the game on Steam.
