Are you planning on releasing for PS4?

The full release of System Shock will be initially available for Windows and Xbox One. The Windows version will be available on Steam, and GOG (DRM-free). OSX and Linux versions will be unlocked when our first stretch goal is reached. We’re open to other platforms in the future. Last updated: Tue, Jun 28 2016 4:29 pm EDT

I don’t have a credit card, will you be accepting PayPal as a funding option?

We’re currently exploring alternative payment options for supporters who can’t use Kickstarter. Please check back for updates! Last updated: Wed, Jun 29 2016 5:23 pm EDT

Will the Digital Collectors Edition be available on GOG.com and Xbox One?

Yes, we forgot to include that information in the reward tier, but it is listed correctly in the corresponding image in the rewards section in the body of the campaign. Last updated: Wed, Jun 29 2016 5:34 pm EDT

Can I Get A Refund?

No. Funds previously received have been used to develop the game. Last updated: Wed, Jun 29 2016 5:34 pm EDT

Will System Shock be available in VR and supported by Oculus or Vive?

We can’t make any announcements about VR support at this time but please keep your eye on our campaign for updates. Last updated: Sat, Jul 2 2016 3:02 pm EDT

Can I choose to receive a physical copy of the game for Xbox One?

All physical editions of System Shock are for PC. However, each Physical Edition is accompanied by an extra copy of the Digital Collector’s Edition available for the platform of your choice. Last updated: Sat, Jul 2 2016 3:02 pm EDT

Will Closed Beta access only be available through Steam?

Will System Shock support Russian, Polish, or any other languages after the EFIGS stretch goal is met?

When will backers of the $50 of higher tiers receive copies of System Shock Enhanced (2015) (PC) and System Shock 2 (1999) (PC)?

We’ll do our best to get those keys to backers close to the campaign end date. It will depend on how quickly we can deal with the logistics of sending keys out. Last updated: Sun, Jul 3 2016 3:41 pm EDT

BackerKit FAQ

What is BackerKit?

BackerKit is a service that crowdfunded project creators use to keep track of hundreds to tens of thousands of backers—from shipping details, pledge levels, preferences and quantities, whether they have paid or had their card declined, special notes, and everything in between!

The BackerKit software and support team is independent from the campaign’s project team—BackerKit does not handle the actual reward shipping. For more information about the preparation or delivery status of your rewards, please check the project's updates page.

How does BackerKit work?

After the campaign ends, the project creator will send you an email with a unique link to your survey. You can check out a walkthrough of the process here.

I never received my invitation. How do I complete the survey?

The most common reasons for not receiving a survey email is that you may be checking an email inbox different from the email address you used to sign up with Kickstarter, Indiegogo or Tilt Pro account, or it may be caught in your spam filter.

Confirm that the email address you are searching matches the email address tied to your Kickstarter, Indiegogo, or Tilt Pro account. If that doesn’t work, then try checking your spam, junk or promotions folders. You can also search for "backerkit” in your inbox.

To resend the survey to yourself, visit the project page and input the email address associated with your Kickstarter, Indiegogo or Tilt Pro account.

How do I update my shipping address?

BackerKit allows you to update your shipping address until the shipping addresses are locked by the project creator. To update your address, go back to your BackerKit survey by inputting your email here.

When will my order be shipped, charged or locked?

That is handled directly by the project creator. BackerKit functions independently of the project itself, so we do not have control of their physical shipping timeline. If you want to check on the project’s status, we recommend reading over the project's updates page.

I completed the survey, but haven't received my rewards yet. When will they arrive?

As BackerKit does not actually handle any rewards or shipping, the best way to stay updated on the shipping timeline would be to check out the project's updates page.
