What Is Permafrost? The Game and the Other Meanings
Updated 2026-10-14 · Last checked 2026-10-14 · Early Access
This site is about the game. The word also means frozen ground. Steam search returns add-ons for this game and at least two other games that only share the name. If you wanted a geology article or a different Steam app, you are in the wrong row of the table below.
The geology definition is from the National Snow and Ice Data Center. Steam app IDs distinguish this game, its add-ons and similarly named games; a shared title does not establish a relationship.
Three different things
Geology: permafrost is ground that remains at or below 0 °C for at least two consecutive years. It can include soil, rock or sediment. That scientific term does not identify a particular game.
