Conan Exiles Enhanced: A New Chapter for Fans

Funcom, in collaboration with Inflexion Games, has announced the official launch of Conan Exiles Enhanced, marking a significant milestone in the world of online survival gaming. Set in the rich and brutal universe created by Robert E. Howard, this new upgrade will be available for free to existing and future users who own the original game on Steam, starting from May 5, 2026. This update celebrates the game's upcoming eighth anniversary on May 8, and serves as a heartfelt thank you to the millions of players who have contributed to its evolution since its initial release.

A Revitalized Experience

The transition of Conan Exiles Enhanced to Unreal Engine 5 marks a substantial overhaul in the game's visual and technical aspects. In this upgrade, players will experience significant enhancements, including:

- Improved visuals across environments, characters, lighting, and effects.
- An immersive world that connects the Exiled Lands with the Isle of Siptah, providing players with a seamless experience.
- Enhanced performance capabilities aimed at achieving over 60 FPS across various PC settings, from low to ultra.
- Optimized gameplay for the Steam Deck, allowing players to enjoy a smooth survival experience on the go.
- Numerous improvements and quality-of-life changes, including new features and an upgraded user interface.

This major upgrade will indeed be offered for free to all current owners of the Steam version of Conan Exiles, so that players can dive into the newest developments without any additional cost. More details about the upgrade and transition process can be found on the official FAQ page.

Two Maps, One Seamless World

For the first time, players will have the freedom to traverse between the Exiled Lands and the Isle of Siptah, which requires a separate purchase, without needing to select a map or create a new character each time. This integration transforms both expansive regions into one continuous gameplay experience, enriching the adventures that await.

Multiplayer servers will now support both maps simultaneously, dramatically expanding the playable world for those who own the Isle of Siptah expansion pack.

A Global Phenomenon

Since the original launch on May 8, 2018, Conan Exiles has attracted over 15 million players to its challenging realms. Bearing witness to the harsh world characterized by survival and exploration, players have embraced the legendary landscapes and lore crafted from Howard's narratives.

Platform Availability

Currently, Conan Exiles Enhanced is available as a free upgrade for all users who own the Steam version of the game. While there are no immediate plans for offering this upgrade on consoles, the Epic Games Store, or the Windows Store, both Funcom and Inflexion Games continue to evaluate future platform expansions.
