Paderborn, Germany, April 27th, 2026: Aerosoft and PeDePe are proud to announce that Global Rescue is now available in Early Access on PC via Steam. In Global Rescue, players take control of a fully operational emergency response headquarters, coordinating police, fire services, EMS, and specialised units across a living, breathing 3D world built using real-world data. Global Rescue is releasing with a limited 25% discount costing €19.99 (full price €25).
Whether operating in a major city, a small town, or their own hometown, players must respond to dynamic incidents while building and managing the infrastructure behind their success.
Blending real-time strategy with deep management systems, Global Rescue challenges players to plan, organise, budget and act decisively when emergency strikes. You’ll dispatch units, manage personnel, expand facilities, and optimize resources as emergencies unfold in real time. From routine incidents to large-scale multi-department crises, no two scenarios play out the same.
The Early Access launch builds upon the strong foundation established during the demo and extended demo phases, significantly expanding gameplay systems, refining mechanics, and introducing new features shaped directly by community feedback. With continuous updates planned throughout Early Access, players will play an active role in shaping the future of Global Rescue.
A robust modding system is also available from day one, allowing players to customize and expand their experience. The full launch follows a highly successful demo period, which earned over 92% positive user reviews (97% recent), and where community members globally helped shape the title into the fully fledged early access build.
