Hey everyone!

We just updated our FAQ with a few extra information. This should help players whose accounts are fulfilling all the offer requirements, but after 36h Parklife still has not been granted to their Steam profiles.

If you've waited for longer than 36h and DLC still has not appeared on your Steam account, please use the Google Form below to report this directly to us. Sending out the form many times will not speed up the process (it may result in slowing it down), so please fill it in only once.

Hey everyone!

Just a quick note to say that we officially ended the giveaway and we're unable to grant any more Parklife codes to the Steam accounts. The Google Form is going to be closed down as well.
