Events
The Guns of Icarus Community and development team host a wide variety of in-game events and streams. Take a look at our schedule to tune-in and even participate!Steam Workshop
Guns of Icarus offers the community the chance to have their items be featured in the game both on PC and PS4 via Steam Workshop. All users will go through the Steam Workshop flow for approval. However, there are some important points to consider:
User Generated Content for PC
- Any monetization on the item will go through the standard Steam Workshop arrangements
User Generated Content for PS4
- Will still go through the Steam Workshop submission and approval process
- If you choose to have your item on PS4, it must be free to all PS4 players. This does not exclude monetization on PC, though.
- You can opt out of having your item being available to PS4 users altogether and only remain on PC

If you have questions, don’t hesitate to contact a CA for help! You’ll be able to recognize CAs by their “Community Ambassador” role title in groups and forums, and they’ll have a CA tag next to their names when you meet them in-game.WHAT IS A COMMUNITY AMBASSADOR?
