A Goat Simulator patch is on its way very soon, and promises to practically double the gameplay. Developer Coffee Stain Studios originally released the game as a sort of April Fools joke, taking a very Grand Theft Auto setting and replacing the protagonist with a goat. Apparently it became more popular than they had anticipated, so now they’ve decided to add a lot more to the game.
The idea of using goats for comedy is nothing new, since for a few months it seemed every music video in history was getting footage of goats and lambs uttering almost human screams and grunts inserted for a chuckle. It worked, and the most popular of the additions was the screaming goat in Taylor Swift ‘s “I Knew You Were Trouble.” Coffee Stain Studios simply took the joke a little further.
Now, the Goat Simulator patch is looking to include a bunch of new additions in its already hilarious concept of a game. Among the additions are a new map, new kinds of goats, and a split screen multiplayer mode.

This isn’t bad for what Coffee Stain Studios is calling the “world’s dumbest game.” Apparently PC gamers were looking for a good laugh, and they delivered.
Among the new additions to the game will be:
- A new playable map that’s about the size of the old map.
- Local split screen multiplayer for up to four players’ goats.
- The ability to wall-run and balance on your front legs.
- The ability to ride bicycles and skateboards.
- New playable goats like “Tornado Goat,” “Shopping Goat,” “Classy Goat,” and “Repulsive Goat.”
- Various optimizations, achievements, and other cool stuff
With the success of Goat Simulator , Coffee Stain raised enough money on Kickstarter to create another animal based game for the masses, Bear Simulator . If the new Goat Simulator patch eventually leaves you bored, there is more to come.
As of June 3, the new patch appears to be the equivalent of a Goat Simulator free download.
