When Celeste first released in 2018 it was immediately beloved as a rewardingly challenging platform with a touching story. Since then DLC has been released that creator Thorson described as having its “hardest levels in difficulty” for fans of the title.
The Epic Games Store made Celeste free in December 2019 to help “combat anxiety” during the Holiday season.
Celeste is available now on Nintendo Switch, PC, PS4, and Xbox One.
