Sons of the Forest has finally come out of its year-long early access, with the 1.0 update marking the game’s full launch, bringing a heap of exciting changes and improvements along with it.

Despite being exclusive to PC, the game has been extremely popular, likely due to the success of its predecessor, The Forest, which was a huge hit with players.

The multiplayer feature of Endnight Games’ survival horror is the most enticing aspect of the title, and now that Sons of the Forest is finally here, players are wondering how the servers are holding up.
